Historic character, modern comfort: The property is set in a period rural villa, giving the stay a distinctive “old Emilia” atmosphere while keeping rooms geared for comfort.

Well-equipped rooms: Guest rooms are described as spacious and very clean, with private bathrooms (showers), air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi, a minibar, a kettle for tea/herbal infusions, and a flat-screen TV.

Breakfast experience: A continental breakfast is included, and the morning setup is often highlighted as a cozy moment—especially in the breakfast room, where the fireplace adds to the ambiance.

Outdoor space and parking: A large on-site park/garden gives you room to unwind outdoors, and the fenced private parking makes arrivals and day trips simple for drivers.

Good base for Modena and beyond: Being on the Via Emilia, Il Contado – Room and Breakfast works well for visiting Modena’s historic center and the Abbazia di Nonantola, and it’s also positioned for easy Bologna day trips.

Limited front desk hours: As an extra-hotel property, reception is not staffed continuously, so arrivals may require coordination.

Car-first location: The setting along a main road outside the center may be less convenient if you plan to rely only on walking or public transport.

Potential light noise: With the property on the Via Emilia, some rooms may occasionally pick up traffic sounds, especially at busier times.
