This place is a hidden treasure. Fiona allows her house and gardens to be your home throughout your stay. Nothing is too much trouble for her or her family and circle of friends. If you have the chance to dine with her one night then do so as her food is superb...especially the rissotto. The location is very tranquil yet... more

Apart from its perfection as a B&B Ca' Gioiosa's geographical location makes it the place to stay for many reasons: Fascinating landscape in the foothills of the Apennines (Parco Regionale Sassi di Roccamalatina), a sunny climate, tasty food and wine in a not too touristy environment, where you meet the italianitá right there at the gelateria. Ca' Gioiosa is an... more

My husband and I have just returned from a three night break at Ca Gioiosa and we had a wonderful time. The room we had was lovely with views of the mountains, there is a splash pool which was a godsend after a hot day of sightseeing and the central location makes it easy to get around. The breakfast was... more

Staying at Ca Gioisa is like staying at the home of a treasured friend... who happens to have an amazing property with incredible views and all the amenities! My husband and I spent 5 nights at Ca Gioiosa this July. It's in a wonderfully peaceful area with spectacular scenery, but is still very accessible to the town of Bazzano (and... more

Cà Gioiosa was a great base for exploring Emilia-Romagna and host Fiona makes this easy. Fantastic location in the peace and quiet of the Countryside but 5 mins to restaurants and shops. Maps for all the Cities and best locations/parking. Once you become friends with the Tangenziale getting around is very easy Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Milan, Venice and San Mareno... more

Just returned from a two week stay with my sister at Ca Giosioa and wanted to report that all the positive reviews in tripadvisor are right on target. Fiona is truly a gem- friendly, interesting and helpful. She really made us feel like valued guests or friends, not just renters, and went out of her way to make sure we... more

My seven year old grandson said it all when he announced 'I could stay here forever' on our arrival at this idyllic location. Our hostess at Ca' Giorosa gave us a wonderful welcome and the accommodation lacked for nothing. With 4 grandsons varying in age from 18 months to 15 years, all their needs were catered for and of course... more

In all of our travels, we've never met a host quite like Fiona. For starters, the 3 bedroom apartment is delightful - clean, bright, well-equipped. But more impressive is Fiona's ability to work little miracles for her guests: we had not arranged anything with her in advance. We arrived on Saturday and she asked us our plans. "Anything to do... more

Just a quick note to agree with all the other reviews. You really can't go wrong in booking Ca Gioiosa. Fiona and her family are the perfect hosts, making sure you are constantly comfortable and happy. We will definately return, not sure I've ever missed a place as much as I did returning home from there last week, we really... more
