Reviews
The icehouse was worth every moment we spent. The unique and modern home and attention to details was everything we were looking for … I would highly recommend this place as it gave us so many options for our five nights stay. We will look to return and build our Parmigiano Reggiano tour around this home. Thank you to the hosts for their hospitality!
I had the pleasure of staying in a truly unique place: a former icehouse tastefully, carefully, and passionately transformed into a charming accommodation. Every detail of the décor has been chosen with style and originality, without resorting to standardized solutions. The materials and furnishings are of high quality, and a sense of harmony and beauty fills every corner of the house. The cleanliness is impeccable, and it is clear that everything has been designed and created with heart. A special place, one that leaves a lasting impression and where I truly hope to return.
The most unique stay I’ve ever had!
... What makes this place truly special is the amazing acoustics. As a music lover, I can say it felt like being in a concert hall – even a simple HomePod sounded breathtaking. The dome naturally amplifies and enriches the sound, creating an atmosphere that no regular home or hotel room could ever offer. Every note felt alive, filling the space in a magical way... the experience is unforgettable. Overall, the place, the hosts, and the experience deserve 10/10. We will definitely return!
