About us

Welcome to Villa Molinari B&B, our little haven of peace in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.

We are Massimo and Erik, an Italian - Dutch couple with a passion for hospitality and for the simple, genuine things in life. 

Massimo is originally from this region, where family, cooking and hospitality naturally go hand in hand - a tradition passed down "from mamma to son"

After a long career in the Netherlands as a dancer and choreographer, I decided to return to my roots, reconnecting with the warmth and traditions of my homeland.

Erik is Dutch and also comes from a rural area. After many years working in sports, he chose to move to Italy and leave behind the busy life in the Netherlands, embracing a slower and more peaceful rhythm. Choosing this country home felt like the most natural decision. 

After many years of traveling we decided to make our dream come true: creating a place where every guest can truly feel at home. 

Villa Molinari is located away from the tourist crowds, surrounded by authentic country side and local life. 

Beautiful destination such as Mantua, Modena, Bologna, Parma, Verona, and Lake Garda are all about an hour's drive away.
