La Traversina Agriturismo

Due to bad weather where we were staying in the French Alps we decided to head south to Italy - a last minute decision - so the first thing I did was to look up Alistair Sawday and see if there were any suitable agriturismi in the direction we were aiming for - namely Alessandra and Parma. I thought La Traversina looked lovely and booked it. The setting is so peaceful, the hosts so charming and welcoming and the food so delicious and home-cooked and home-grown that it is impossible to find anything negative about it. Our room was lovely - interesting paintings and books and beautifully cool.

Wow The perfect place and people for a getaway. The house, rooms and property are right out of a storybook, and maintained to perfection. The hostess Rosanna cannot be outdone. She cannot do enough for her guests, and the food is devine. Domenico's tomatoes are something special. We will be back for a longer stay.

This is a beautiful B&B! But what kicks this place over the top are the gracious host and hostess. We felt like one of the family. The food was excellent the rooms were spotless and our hosts were generous and welcoming. What a wonderful time we had.

Rosanna and each of her wonderful family of staff made us so welcome. Our room was lovely, the pool was great, the garden was picture perfect. The food was divine and the company from several cultures was enormoous fun. In short, you MUST stay at La Traversina. Tanti baci, Rosanna.
