Valdenza Hotel, Campegine near Reggio Emilia

Valdenza Hotel, near Reggio Emilia

Opened in 2003, Emilia-Romagna's Valdenza Hotel is in Campegine, just 300 metres from the A1 motorway junction and equidistant between Reggio Emilia to the east and Parma to the west. This is the line of the ancient Via Emilia Roman road, and this situation gives you unrivalled access to the best that this lovely region of northern Italy has to offer. There are the historic cities of Reggio, Parma, Modena, Bologna and Ferrara to the north. There are the rolling foothills of the Apennine mountains as they border Tuscany to the south. And there is the endless expanse of the Paduan Plain to the north, the wheat fields a 'breadbasket' for northern Italy since Roman times.

Rooms at this Emilia-Romagna hotel are double (or single use), triples or suites. All have their own bathroom with shower, a TV and radio, minibar and access to the internet, air conditioning and a hairdryer. The Valdenza Hotel has a restaurant and buffet breakfast each morning, storage for your bags, a garden, non-smoking rooms, and accommodation for guests with limited mobility. Hypo-allergenic rooms are available, and pets are welcome. The front desk is open 24 hours a day, and can provide newspapers and safe deposit facilities, shuttle services to Bologna airport, dry cleaning and of course tourist information.

Historic Reggio has a fine duomo and a collection of important churches, plus galleries and museums. Parma meanwhile is a gourmet's delight (the home to Parmesan cheese and Parma ham among others). This is one of the richest towns in Italy, with important sights including a cathedral, the Renaissance church of Santa Maria della Steccata and the stunning sugar-pink Baptistery.
