Agriturismo Acetaia Sereni

Awesome! What a gorgeous location with exquisite facilities. The owner was extremely helpful, going out of his way to give us a private tasting and tour of his balsamic vinegar production. I want to return and stay longer. I highly recommend!

We spent 5 days at this Agriturismo and I can only rave about the experience and recommend it highly. An Agriturismo is essentially a working farm with a B&B attached and this was of the highest standard. If you have read previous reviews, then disregard any comments about the rooms as they have been fully renovated in 2023 and are of the highest standards. Comfortable beds; beautiful bathrooms with walk in showers and a/c. The farmhouse itself is outstanding with a large patio overlooking the countryside; a pool; and an enclosed glass structure for conversation or evening drinks. It is high on a hill so the views are spectacular. Breakfast on the patio was gourmet quality with huge choice and the staff are friendly and nothing is too much. Sereni is also a gourmet restaurant open 4 nights and week and Sunday lunch. We ate there twice and can honestly say two of the finest meals I have ever eaten. The filet was just unreal. Umberto and his staff are friendly and efficient. One morning we saw 3 elderly ladies making the pasta for that evening. It is all hand made and locally grown on their farm. The main product is Balsamic Vinegar for which they are renowned. The grow all the grapes and olives themselves. The tour was highly interesting and you would be amazed how long it takes to make high quality balsamic. The tour includes a tasting which was eye opening. Good balsamic is not acidic and can be used on food such as rice; eggs etc. I will never buy supermarket "black water" again which is actually largely grape vinegar. Put this on your bucket list. It is not far from Modena but you obviously need a car. The one thing to note it is a scary drive up the mountain where 2 cars passing is an adventure not for the feint if heart. From there we visited Modena; Bologna; Ferrara; Parma; Ferrari factory; Pavarotti house etc. At the bottom of the hill is Castelvetro di Modena with some nice restaurants but note that most are closed on Monday and are only open from 7.30pm. (Ristorante Zoello is open Monday and excellent). Getting food between lunch and dinner in Italy is impossible! This is a great base for a tour of Northern Italy!

Absolutely loved our 4 night stay at Acetaia Sereni. We could not have been happier with the location, room, service and food. Our room was recently renovated and was spotless and perfectly comfortable. Learning about (and enjoying!) the wide array of balsamic vinegars produced at the acetaia was awesome. We learned so much and that certainly enhanced our appreciation for these fine artisanal products. The staff, including the owners, were very professional, gracious and helpful. And the grounds... so beautiful with the grape vines and hazelnut trees set in a lovely valley. Stunning.. and the food.. Great breakfast daily and we also had a fabulous lunch with the tour/tasting. We also had dinner the last evening of our stay and we are still dreaming about it. HIGHLY recommended!

Excellent friendly service from start to finish, can’t wait to come back. We had the suit which was stunning with the biggest shower I’ve ever been in ! The view from the terrace is breathtaking. Food was excellent with delicious local wine pairing. The tour of the balsamic vinegar production was very interesting and worth delaying our trip to Siena for. Thank you for everything

Modern, neu und schöne Umgebung Super Location. Nette Besichtigung der Acetaia.

Bellissimo agriturismo,personale molto gentile,appartamento pulito,spazi esterni tenuti bene,colazione buona....il ristorante funziona solo dal giovedì alla domenica....unica pecca secondo me il fatto di non avere nemmeno a disposizione un piccolo bar aperto...magari per poter fare un aperitivo all'esterno.....ma comunque nell'appartamento si trova una macchinetta con le cialde per fare caffè the ecc...
