With a river running through the magnificent valley below Villa Sul Dragone, the views make it a photographers paradise. We stayed at the Villa in July, in the Italian sun. A glass of red never tasted as good as looking down the valley from the patio. The ambience of the Villa is quintessentially Italian, but with every modern facility you could want. Spotlessly clean there is a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds dressed in crisp white sheets, efficient showers with big soft towels. Take some food to go on with, as you are a bit far from Modena, but what a lovely get away. We will be back.
