"A 12-room 18th-century farmhouse just outside Modena that serves as a passion project of Massimo Bottura, offering an open kitchen that provides chef-made snacks throughout the day. On-site dining includes an outpost of the flagship Francescana presenting the chef’s signature hits (notably spin-painted veal) and Al Gatto Verde, which focuses on wood-fired, contemporary Emilian dishes." - Rachel Chang
"An elegant country house created by chef Massimo Bottura and his wife Lara Gilmore, featuring a Michelin Star restaurant with a Green Star for sustainable gastronomy." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A 12-room villa in the Modena countryside conceived and curated by chef Massimo Bottura and his wife Lara Gilmore that feels like checking into a well-curated private home, filled with contemporary art, Bottura’s vinyl collection, and homemade treats. Accommodations blend countryside-chic aesthetics with contemporary Italian design and overlook wheat fields and orchards; grounds include a three-bedroom cottage, an outdoor pool, a turf tennis court, and a gym lined with contemporary art. Culinary experiences are the main draw: breakfasts overseen by chef Jessica Rosval (notable cotechino), daily snacks, and reserved communal dinners that showcase Bottura’s Francescana repertoire alongside a casual trattoria, while an on-site acetaia produces aged balsamic vinegar." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo

"A countryside bed-and-breakfast run by the chef and his wife that doubles as an intimate estate and culinary hub; it houses an on-site restaurant and a culinary program led by executive chef Jessica Rosval, offers an epic breakfast buffet for guests, and serves as the setting for stories, photos, and recipes featured in the chef’s book. The property emphasizes slow-food traditions and hospitality while supporting experimental projects that blend local ingredients with refined techniques." - Lucy Simon
