Here are some of the best places to stay in the city to make the most of your time there.

This farmhouse is perfect for nature lovers who would like a serene, cozy nature retreat. Its multiple windows - many of which are floor to ceiling - allow you to view the lush outdoor gardens even from inside. The interior design of the home, filled with rough textured wooden furniture and ceiling, seems to bring a forest indoors. It is located near the city bus station, allowing you to move around the city easily.

7. Bright and airy B&B
This bed and breakfast has a clean and crisp, mostly white décor with accents of mahogany and red.

Before exploring the square and Reggio Emilia in general, enjoy the delicious complimentary breakfast, which consists of fresh, all-natural foods. When you return from your Reggio Emilia adventures, you can unwind in peace, as the building is in a quiet area, and the rooms are soundproof.
