Description
In the most ancient house of the discrict, already used in the past as an inn and a mail station for horse´s rest and change, in a newly restructured good-looking apartment our hosts can find 6 wide and furnished rooms, two single rooms and four double rooms (for total 10 beds), two bathrooms, a dining room and a living room.
The structure is situated in Via Emilia, between the historical center and the highway exit of Modena Nord, at a few kms from the Exhibition.
We are well served from public transports and you can easily reach us either from the Via Emilia or from the North Bypass (exit 12 “Madonnina”).
In each room you will find comfortable furnish as well as a washbasin, a 20” color TV, an electric fan and a fridge with refrigerator. In each double room you can ask to join beds.
As for the breakfast, it is possible to use the coffee machine that you find in the dining room inside the apartment.
Otherwise, you can have breakfast in the bar situated on the ground floor, which offers good breakfasts of “modenese” taste. Very good and highly appreciated is “gnocco fritto con salumi” (a sort of salty pancake served with various kinds of cold meats and salami).
In the discrict you can also find some home delivery pizzerias and other restaurants, some of them of high quality.

Using the savings from my two jobs (one in psychiatry and the other in an industrial company), I bought and renovated my house. Now, with the profits from my hospitality business, I finance the most intense and satisfying activity of my life: two humanitarian missions, one in Albania and one in Uganda.
In Albania, I have been helping some very poor families for a long time and have built important friendships with them. In Uganda, I am trying to promote the development of a small village where 130 people live.
None of them had a job, and they survived on what little they could cultivate. I opened a small mechanical workshop and a breeding business for them. I also sent over 15 children to study in small and simple colleges and support their families' income.
In Uganda, I also initiated a literacy project in a juvenile prison, where a teacher is always available to help 40-50 detained boys. The most severe cases are assisted by starting them on a path to education or work and providing them with housing.
I want to thank all my clients for giving me the opportunity to live this intense experience of complete joy!

Property is good and in a very good location. The interior is simple but all necessary facilities are available. The only comment from my side, if you have heavy luggage and are not a good weight lifter, then you need help. There is no lift. \n\nLocation is very promising, as soon as you come down in the evening, you either go left or right you can see lively places and there are many restaurants. \n\nAnd please ensure that the check-out time is clearly agreed.

Unfortunately, we were unable to sleep due to the constant coming and going of people living in the building; it is not a Hotel (there is no sign), nor is it a Bed-And-Breakfast (no breakfast offered inside); it is more like an 'AirBnB without a kitchen' with people renting the rooms monthly, it is a single apartment divided into several rooms so very very noisy in the evening, at night and from 5:30 in the morning, you can hear the neighbor's radio, constant door slamming and even screams... The parking is not private and is not adjacent to the structure. The air conditioning is not included in the price and you have to add 4€ in total. The small fridge is not quiet, we had to turn it off and therefore could not use it. On the positive side, we can note that the room is large and clean, the manager, who did not welcome us, is friendly, there is a hairdryer. In short, 65€ is very expensive for the service and the quality/price ratio is not good. We do not recommend this place.
