Alla Casella

The Agriturismo is part of the Signa - Coadi farm that has been owned by the same family since the middle of the Nineteenth century. It presently consists of about 30 hectares of cultivated land: part cereal production, part orchard, and part vegetable garden. The name of the farmstay comes from the original use of the building: a simple "casella" (shed) used to store the hay and the tools. Today, completely renovated respecting the rural style of the area, its five rooms are able to host those who would like to visit the town of Ferrara while staying in the natural "Ferrarese" countryside. Respect for the environment has been a key element in both the design of the plants (solar panels, biophytodepuration), and the fittings (water flow reducers, energy-saving lamps...) allowing the complex to be registered under the Ecolabel of Legambiente Tourism (an Italian, not-for-profit association for the safeguarding and correct management of the environment).

The interiors enjoy a warm and welcoming ambience re-creating the original atmosphere of a country home furbished with antique pieces imbued with the history of several generations. On the ground floor, in addition to the breakfast room, the guests can enjoy an area perfectly suited for reading and conversation. Of special note is the setting of the dinner tables, each boasting a different vintage crockery set. Still on the ground floor, one can find the beautiful "White and Blue" room, specially designed for the needs of less able guests. The other four rooms are located on the first floor: the "Green" room, a suite for families sleeping up to four people; the "Blue" and the "Pink" rooms, each with either a double bed or twin beds; and the "Yellow" room, hosting a king single bed. The linen bedsheets of Grandma and the towels of loom-made canvas belonging to the family's heirlooms reveal the love for traditions and bring one back to the past.

All rooms have an ensuite bathroom with shower and independent heating. The cooking, that mostly makes use of produce from the farmstay itself, has a mainly vegetarian character, while at the same time retaining a strong connection with the typical dishes of the area.
