We are offering properties for sale mainly in the area around Carpineti, a delightful county town some 30 kilometres from Reggio Emilia and the Milan to Rome motorway.
Easily reached by plane from Bologna (90 minutes' drive), Florence and Verona (2hrs), Pisa (2.5hrs) and Bergamo airports all less than 3 hours away, and lying directly to the west of the A1 motorway, the area has long been famed for its world-famous food. Prosciutto from Parma, Parmesan cheese from Reggio nel Emilia, Balsamic vinegar from Modena and not forgetting Ferraris, Maseratis and De Tommaso cars - all of which come from this area.
It is an area rich in tradition, history, gastronomy and culture. The regional food and wines all come from a long tradition of excellence with high quality, locally sourced ingredients contributing to a cuisine which is famous throughout Italy. In fact there is a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Modena!
The Emilian Appenines
Being a mountainous region it has some excellent cycling, mountain biking and hiking trails; It offers rock climbing and canyoning in the summer and skiing in winter. It is part of a UNESCO biosphere, it has some of the darkest skies in Europe. (In fact a recently discovered star has been named Tincana in honour of the tiny village from which it was spotted). The views are breathtaking, the weather glorious, the food and wines excellent and the people welcoming.
Paolo and Cassandra have viewed and carefully selected a wide range of freehold properties, from stone village houses, to more modern ready-to-walk into properties and restoration “projects”. All have stunning views and offer something special. In most cases there is room to put in a swimming pool if required. Prices start at €85,000.
Please have a look through our selection and if you see something you like, why not come and visit us? If you don’t find what you’re looking for, using Paolo’s wide range of contacts we’re sure we can find you something!
