"[Villa Gaidello] is one of the pioneers of agritourism, and it's right in the Italian food heartland, the home of Parmesan cheese, prosciutto di Parma, tortellini, and balsamic vinegar. If you ask an Italian where to eat only one meal in Italy, first he'll mention his mother's house, then he'll probably send you to Emilia-Romagna. I'd say the Villa Gaidello." Lynne Rossetto Kasper, author of The Splendid Table "The Villa Gaidello farm has been written up on several occasions, mostly as a result of its superb cuisine. There is nothing extravagant about hostess Paola Bini's recipes, carefully prepared by local women. Rather, the secret to her success seems to lie in the revival of basic traditional dishes using the freshest possible ingredients. Pasta is made daily and features all the local variations on tagliatelle, pappardelle, and stricchettoni." Karen Brown, of Karen Brown's Guides
"...on Sunday, Paola's dining room is filled with families from all over who
come to remind themselves of their roots. The Villa Gaidello is really about going
home to grandmother. Downstairs, Paola Bini looked up as I descended from the hayloft.
Charles Michener, in Travel & Leisure, Feb. 1994 "Don't expect a rustic Italian Disneyland. Go to relax, to savor terrific food, to enjoy total peace and quiet. According to Paola Bini, many travelers pause here after visiting Rome and Florence, to 'rest up' for Venice. Following Paola's suggestions, you could spend days exploring Modena and the nearby hills, returning each evening to the cluster of old farm buildings, the warmth of your own hearth, and a satisfying sense of home."
