La Punta Macelleria & Bistrot In Modena

05/07/2026: There are places you visit and others that stay in your heart: Antica Corte Casa Marini is one of them. As soon as we arrived, we breathed in peace, beauty, and authenticity. The courtyard, surrounded by greenery, offers an intimate and private atmosphere, perfect for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The restaurant was a wonderful surprise: excellent dishes, prepared with passion and quality ingredients. The pool is a true corner of paradise, meticulously maintained and perfect for relaxing in complete tranquility. But what truly makes this place special is the owner's hospitality: a person of rare kindness and helpfulness, capable of making you feel like a guest, not just a customer. We left with the promise of returning. If you're looking for a place where you can truly feel at home, this is the place.

20/06/2026: We stayed in an apartment next to the beautiful main building, an old restored palazzo. The place is very well kept, with a nice garden, a pool, and restaurant and good views of the surrounding area. The highlights for us: - the restaurant: this area is home to a number of well known ingredients of the Italian kitchen: it is the land of Parmigiano Reggiano, but also of truffle, the pastas from Emilia Romagna (I would argue the best region for pasta) and not to forget the Aceto Balsamico di Modena. The owner produces his own and had us taste one that was 26 years old. All these ingredients come together in the restaurant where we enjoyed some great dinners. - the surrounding area is unique for Italy (and we have traveled there a lot): lovely flowing hills covered with fields and forests, winding roads (yes, sometimes a bit narrow but nothing to worry about) connecting small villages. It is a pleasure to drive around, see the nature and have cappuccino or lunch in a nearby village. A definite plus is the presence of an EV charging pole (colonetta) ate the premises. Dogs are allowed.
