Description

Ancient characteristic farmhouse in the area, partially renovated with 6000 sqm of land. Dogs and cats have a great time in this small paradise among the Lambrusco vineyards. Located on a very narrow road, it is characterized by silence and tranquility only interrupted by a dog barking or a farmer's tractor.

Our three children have flown to other nests and we rent their rooms. With the presence of guests, we often have the impression that they have never left.

Hey from Claudio

Member since December 2014 | 37,159 hits

Born in the middle of the last century, grandfather eagerly awaiting his second grandchild. Father of three children, two of whom live abroad. Renting out their rooms and running a B&B saved my life, both financially and emotionally. Having worked as a salesman for 25 years, I have a certain ease in connecting with people and I see that they are happy to converse while we have breakfast together. Often, these are people who could be my own children, and this allows me to feel less distant from my relatives.

We stayed one night at this beautiful country house surrounded by nature and farm fields. Claudio welcomed us even though we came late in the evening. The room was clean, cosy and well kept. Beds were comfortable, towels were provided. Claudio was very warm and welcoming host and prepared hearthy delicious breakfast! We loved the place and the host. Recommend if you want an authentic experience of italian countryside!

enrico

The cleanliness of the rooms and bathroom is at the limit of sufficiency, the breakfast is practically nonexistent, 1 puff pastry and 1 mini biscuit per person, and to my request if there could be something more to eat like yogurt or other biscuits, I was told no! Shared bathroom with zero privacy, the door and the entire wall were made of frosted glass, which practically allows you to see everything. Moreover, at the time of booking the selected double room, it said that the bathroom was external but still private, which is absolutely not true! The owner is overall kind, but excessively intrusive, he remained the whole time during breakfast sitting next to us staring at us. Finally, at the time of payment, the manager told me that he does not accept debit cards but only cash, and that he had sent me an email or message informing me about this; I checked again but I never received any communication about it! Absolutely not correct! The price is definitely high compared to what is offered, little cleanliness, nonexistent breakfast, bathroom with zero privacy. The place is fine for spending 1 night in a hurry, no more!

stayed from 04/17/2025 to 04/18/2025

The answer from the host:
Infatti hai passato una notte e via ! Avete occupato due camere e il bagno di fianco alla vs camera era a voi riservato come previsto dalla scheda della cd camera matrimoniale. Invadente, se leggi altre recensioni vedrai che l'uso del b&b invece di un albergo non viene fatta solo per il prezzo ma pure per entrare in relazione con la famiglia ospitante e la mia presenza durante la colazione era per aiutarvi ed eventualmente dialogare con voi, conoscervi. Se volevi la privacy o riservatezza bastava dirlo. Gli yogurt li metto sempre perchè anch'io sono un assiduo consumatore di yogurt. Spesso non vengono consumati. Siete stati sfortunati non avevo provveduto e me ne scuso. Pagamento, hai ragione lo faccio sempre ma avendo tu fatta la prenotazione tramite la piattaforma avrai visto che la scheda del B&B riportava: NON OCCORRE CARTA DI CREDITO, NESSUN ANTICIPO, PAGHI AL CHECK IN. L'uso esclusivo del contante per me è una scelta "ideologica". Alla prossima. Claudio.

We spent a pleasant weekend in this facility immersed in the tranquility of the countryside. Claudio is a friendly person, he welcomed us warmly and prepared a good sweet and savory breakfast. Spacious room and comfortable bed.

Traditional BnB. Environment with rustic decor in accordance and harmony with the surrounding Romagna countryside. Clean rooms. Very kind and sociable owner. Breakfast with a good variety between sweet and savory as seen in the photo: particularly appreciated was the tasting of Parmigiano with drops of traditional DOP vinegar. The appearance of some adorable pets was also appreciated!

Ciao Giulia, scusa il ritardo ma non sempre sono efficiente. Ti ringrazio per il tuo apprezzamento che gratifica il mio lavoro. Spero che tornerete magari in una stagione estiva quando tutta la natura è rigogliosa attorno alla nostra casa e i filari delle vigne che ci circondano sono carichi di neri grappoli del lambrusco. alla prossima claudio

Ciao Sabrina, scusa il ritardo, avevo pensato di sfruttare il 110 ma mi sono accorto (a ragione) che poteva essere rischioso. Noi piccoli pensionati dobbiamo essere molto prudenti. Alla nostra età non ci danno mutuo. Comunque il tuo giudizio è eccessivamente negativo, forse le tue abituali aspettative troverebbero risposta nel b&b I MEDAGLIONI in centro a Correggio. Claudio.

The structure has good potential, but it should be more well-kept and clean. The managers are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is minimal compared to the visited Bed and Breakfasts. It is cheap, but for now, it's not worth it.

We stayed at 'La Perla del Mercante' for 5 days, but the experience was very disappointing. The rooms were infested with bedbugs. The room and the bathroom were dirty. The owner turned out to be very intrusive, not respecting our privacy. Very often he would knock on the door of our room every hour, disturbing our moments of tranquility both at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I stayed at the B&B of Mr. Claudio during the trip from Rome to Trentino. The location is splendid, close to the highway. Mr. Claudio welcomed me with kindness, offering me an excellent walnut liqueur prepared by him. The countryside atmosphere did the rest. Mr. Claudio cares about making his guests feel at home.

Wonderful place like being with family and the owners Claudio and Lucia are two wonderful and fantastic people, wonderful company immersed in the greenery. Everything perfect for a paradise and a perfect oasis. I would give more than a 10 if possible because La Perla del Mercante is the best B&B in Correggio.

stayed from 03/10/2021 to 03/11/2021

The answer from the host:
Grazie, sei proprio un ANGELO GABRIELE, un ospite "giusto" per un vero B&B. Questa casa non è un albergo è il nostro motto e tu l'hai compreso e interpretato meravigliosamente. Grazie. Spero tornerai ancora. Claudio, il Mercante.

The answer from the host:
Carissimi Maria e Vincenzo, grazie per le lusinghiere parole che mi avete dedicato. Se potessi esprimere un "voto" agli ospiti meritereste un bel 10. Per lo stile signorile e garbato che vi contraddistingue e che fa amare il meglio della vostra terra d'origine. claudio.

Great B&B in a perfect location, very quiet, away from city traffic, ideal for relaxing while staying close to Reggio Emilia, Carpi, and Modena. During the stay, the owners have always been extremely kind and very helpful, it was also a pleasure to have chats with both. Highly recommended.

Ciao "mula", spero che tu abbia superato la prima prova. Ci vediamo dopo il 16/09. Claudio.

elena

Simply wonderful. The Bed and Breakfast is cozy, family-friendly, and immersed in nature, where tranquility reigns among the Reggio Emilia countryside. Sleeping very well and waking up to the scent of Lambrusco wine. Let me imagine the beauty. The hospitality is exceptional, Claudio is a wonderful person, friendly and very helpful, even for those like us who have a medium-sized dog. Abundant breakfast, homemade to the point that it feels like being at home, definitely recommended. In conclusion, we had a great time, a positive feeling. I thank Claudio once again, hoping to return in the future.

edi

Mr. Claudio is a good and down-to-earth person who probably does his best to manage La Perla del Mercante. The possibly dated photos with those details of care and attention do not reflect the current situation. Upon arrival, I allowed myself to ask the manager if they were camping. The neglect, disorder, and lack of cleanliness were evident to the point that we decided to give up the breakfast the following morning (included in the price). Even the pillowcases were malodorous. The upper floor bathroom has a wall that faces the hallway completely made of frosted glass, which does not put the user of the shower or toilet at ease. Even the one on the lower floor has a door with a large frosted glass. Then to define the B&B as partially renovated seems forced. In a normal situation, I would not have hesitated to leave, but on June 30th with Vasco's concert at Modena Park, finding accommodation would have been an impossible task. With a few more coins, a month ago we stayed in the center of Mantova in an excellent B&B, just renovated. My wife was upset and our friend accustomed to camping was speechless, he would have preferred to sleep in his tent. I am sorry to write such things, it certainly does not please me. However, it seems correct to warn potential customers because I hope that no one else will find themselves in a similar situation of discomfort. We have stayed in dozens of apartments, B&Bs, shelters, etc. It is undoubtedly the worst experience lived that has also affected the serenity and the success of the vacation. For breakfast, we rated it 5 only because we were forced to provide a rating, but as mentioned, it was not done.

stayed from 06/30/2017 to 07/01/2017

The answer from the host:
Ciao Edi, urca potresti fare lo scrittore ! Come puoi vedere dalle altre recensioni le impressioni dipendono più dalle nostre aspettative che dalla realtà delle cose osservate. Ma il mondo è bello perché è così: vario. Claudio.

Discovered a bit by chance, I would go back already tomorrow! Staying just one night was a real pity; quiet and with a postcard-like view, it's perfect for those looking for a bit of serenity! And thanks to the host Claudio, you almost don't feel like a guest, but welcomed as in a friend's house... and if you have the chance, ask him if he can prepare his fantastic cheesecake!

Meeting Claudio is an experience that deserves at least an overnight stay! The atmosphere is absolutely informal. A place and a person that convey a serenity worth capturing, for those who have the antennae for it, of course. You are not in a B&B, a friend has hosted you!

Great Bed and Breakfast in the countryside of Correggio, where I spent a night (March 2016); the warm welcome from the owner was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Breakfast is the highlight: in the morning, I found a delicious and very fresh cheesecake! The area is very quiet and I highly recommend it.

I had a great time, thanks to the care, attention, and full availability of Claudio and his wife. A place and people who have contributed significantly to making the stay at the 'La Perla del Mercante' very pleasant. Definitely a place to consider for a future trip to those parts. Thank you, Claudio. A si biri kitzi, as they say in Sardinia.

The answer from the host:
Grazie carissimi, degni e autorevoli rappresentanti di cotanta terra in mezzo all'acque e dal Mistral spazzata tanto che mille bianche vele si staglian all'orizzonte azzurro che sfuma nel bianco dell'infinito. Et voilà! anche poeta.

A nice stay in the Emilian countryside, staying in this farmhouse takes you back in time when the peasant people lived an authentic relationship with nature, Claudio, the manager, and his wife Lucia are very friendly and welcoming, the breakfast is good and abundant with a homemade cake and I also received a jar of jam made with the plums from the garden tree as a gift! Thank you, it was a nice break on the highway journey, beyond the Carpi toll booth there is a beautiful world to discover!

The answer from the host:
Cari Magda/Maddalena e Giulio, sono commosso per la vostra recensione con accenni di un lirismo perduto e vi ringrazio di cuore. Anche se passerete da queste parti in camper potete fermarvi da noi, lo spazio non manca. Anche solo per un caffè e quattro chiacchiere. Claudio.

bernardino

Immersed in the open countryside among Lambrusco vineyards and plenty of greenery, ideal for a period of true relaxation as silence reigns. The managers, Claudio and Lucia, proved to be exquisite and hospitable people, full of virtues, made me feel like part of a family. The rooms are beautiful and characteristic, the breakfast made with love and passion by the manager is stunning and sublime, worth returning for.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Dino, conto di rivederti a Mandrio e in ogni caso al più presto a Termoli o a Benevento. È molto bello quello che mi hai detto: "stare quì è fare un'esperienza" (spero di ricordare bene). Claudio Lucia è a Trieste dalla mamma quasi centenaria.

Wonderfully quiet, located in the greenery, among walnut trees and vineyards. Good and very affordable restaurant about 400 m away.\n\nVery nice owner. He also speaks English - very helpful.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Henrik per le parole di apprezzamento. Spero che la prossima volta il mio inglese sarà migliorato per poter approfondire la conoscenza reciproca. Claudio Henrik Vielen Dank für Ihre Worte der Anerkennung. Ich hoffe, dass das nächste Mal mein Englisch wird damit verbessert werden, um das gegenseitige Verständnis zu vertiefen. claudio.

I stayed at the B&B La Perla del Mercante run by Claudio for two nights with my girlfriend. As we always work abroad, we wanted to experience a few quiet days in the peaceful Reggio Emilia countryside. Seeing the photos and knowing the area, it seemed like a perfect place for our couple's tranquility. Indeed, upon arrival, Claudio and his wife Lucia welcomed us with great enthusiasm. Moreover, the accommodation is completely surrounded by greenery, although it may seem like a very simple place upon arrival, but in the two days spent at the B&B, Claudio pointed out particular features of this house and told us the story of these places. At the end of the road, we were even able to purchase excellent Parmigiano Reggiano. The breakfast in the morning was excellent and abundant, clearly homemade. Claudio was extremely flexible with the schedules and always available for our changes in plans; in short, we couldn't ask for more! In my opinion, a great place for those who want to be in contact with nature and dedicate some time to themselves, without the noise of the city. Thank you very much for the hospitality! I believe we will return this summer! P.S.: While talking to the owner's wife, I discovered that she is a physiotherapist, so we also took the opportunity to have a physiotherapy session with her, which proved to be extremely courteous and helpful. We left feeling refreshed and more relaxed.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Marco, sono rimasto a bocca aperta per l'ampiezza e la generosità del tuo commento. Non possiamo nulla rispetto alla tua splendida Puglia ma se vi riesce questa estate passate da noi così potrete conoscere il nostro nipotino Mattia. Grazie ancora, claudio.

lucia

Rural farmhouse characteristic of the Reggio Emilia plain surrounded by Lambrusco vineyards, large garden with tall trees and a traffic-free lane.\n\nGreat silence, the only noises are the barking of dogs, the chirping of birds, and a few tractors. A welcoming atmosphere that comforts and warms, while the homemade walnut liqueur teases the palate. In the morning, a very abundant and varied breakfast: seasonal fruit, yogurt, coffee and milk or tea, freshly baked brioches and cakes made by Claudio like the Budwig cream (a real treat for the palate).\n\nIn the evening, we took advantage of the proposal to have dinner with green tortelli always made by the host. We also recommend it for those who want to have a short holiday filled with good readings and walks (and sleep on the hammock in the shade of the large maple).\n\nThank you, Lucia.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Lucia, questi tuoi apprezzamenti mi sostengono in questa meravigliosa attività, alla prossima! claudio.

I begin by describing the nauseating smell of unwashed dog that can be immediately felt upon entering the facility. The rooms lack bathrooms; the communal bathroom is located outside in the hallway, something not mentioned in the property description, with a glass door and wall that won't close due to a broken lock. So, after a seven-hour journey, we couldn't even take a shower. The room doors don't lock; the old doors leave gaps through which you can see what's happening inside the rooms, requiring caution when changing in case someone passes by outside. Lastly, the "wonderful" breakfast consists of two thermoses with coffee and milk, a box of Mulino Bianco biscuits, and three burnt croissants.

The answer from the host:
Truffati? Preferisco pensare che volesse dire: “Ciò che ho trovato non ha corrisposto alle mie aspettative” che forse erano da hotel. “il bagno al piano ad uso esclusivo degli ospiti” è scritto nella descrizione, ed è quello che ha trovato. Questa casa non è un albergo ma un vecchio cascinale che è apprezzato, da chi è in sintonia con la filosofia dell’ospitalità familiare, proprio per questo. Dispiaciuto dall’accaduto ma sereno. claudio.

My girlfriend and I, came to Correggio to discover the native land of our idol Ligabue, we stayed at 'La Perla del Mercante' for one night. Excellent location for those who love tranquility and nature, as it is immersed in the surrounding countryside of Correggio. Excellent value for money (Euro 25.00 each). The rooms are clean and welcoming. Good breakfast where we tasted a fantastic tart made directly by Mr. Claudio. To conclude, the availability and friendliness of Claudio and Mrs. Lucia make the difference, making us feel at home. We will definitely come back with pleasure on a next occasion.

The answer from the host:
Ragazzi (mi permettete di definirvi ragazzi?), vi ringrazio di cuore per questa recensione molto bella e sentita che mi gratifica immensamente e mi sostiene in questa nuova attività. Grazie ancora anche da parte di Lucia. Un abbraccio particolare a Federico, Gabriele e Iacopo. Complimenti, avete formato una bella famiglia. Ieri sera siamo andati a cena da mio figlio Riccardo e abbiamo verificato che la pancia non solo è molto voluminosa ma si sta abbassando. Siamo (pardon, sono) in dirittura d'arrivo.

giuseppe

Excellent! A few minutes from the center of Correggio. Silent, in the Emilian countryside. Friendliness and a great breakfast. Recommended.

The B&B has retained all the charm of the country house. On a beautiful spring day, the garden is stunning. The manager is very friendly and the breakfast special.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Piera, troppo buona e poetica. Alla prossima ti farò assaggiare i miei favolosi tortelli. Claudio.

I spent one night in this Bed and Breakfast for a short getaway. Very hospitable landlord who rents out 3-4 rooms in his own house. The rooms are simple but clean. Shared bathroom/shower on the floor. Optimal price/performance ratio. Typical Italian breakfast with coffee, jam, bread, butter, jam, honey.

stayed from 02/18/2015 to 02/19/2015

The answer from the host:
Grazie Christian, se avessi avuto un pò di preavviso vi avrei preparato una colazione più “tedesca”, giocata di più sul salato: uova, salumi, formaggi. Arrivederci. Claudio.
