What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Roncolo 1888 is set within the organic Tenuta Venturini Baldini estate outside Quattro Castella, with vineyards, balsamic acetaia, and kitchen gardens all on the property.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the rolling Terre di Canossa hills, the estate offers easy access to the region's historic castles, local dairies, and sports car museums.
The rooms
Rooms pair exposed wood beams and wrought-iron four-poster beds with mid-century furniture, while the villa Senior Suite features preserved frescoed ceilings.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits in a woodland clearing bordered by cypress trees, looking out over the estate vineyards.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Ristorante Limonaia
The greenhouse restaurant serves seasonal Emilian dishes beneath vaulted glass ceilings, beside a green-tiled bar.
How it began
Julia and Giuseppe Prestia restored the 1670 aristocratic Villa Manodori and surrounding borgo outbuildings to open this wine and balsamic retreat in 2019.
