Corte Spinata is located on the Po river cycle path and between two villages :
• 1, 7 km by car from Melara (1800 inhab)
• 2.9 km by car from Bergantino (2,500 inhab)
Italy’s longest river, the Po, was once called the “king of rivers” by Virgil (“fluviorum rex”)
The poet Guido Ceronetti once wrote: “You need to understand the Po to understand Italy,”
The river was, for millennia, a vital transport hub, part of the trade route for Baltic amber in the bronze age. So there are many fascinating archaeological finds from the Bronze age (12th century BC) in the area, don’t miss the museum in Fratta Polesine.
The “Court”, in our local area, was where several families related to each other, 50 people lived together. They cultivated the surrounding land and raised animals. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century this agrarian community produced and used what they needed, the extended families helping and supporting each other.
Within the Court they had everything they needed : the well, the oven, the stables, the chicken coops and even a devotional chapel. The name SPINATA was already present in the Carafa land register of 1779 and was owned by the Bianchini family, who had lived here since the seventeenth century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bianchini house passed to the Ridolfi family as a dowry. In 2012, we bought it, renovated it with love and care, built the apartments and started welcoming guests. The Bianchini family emigrated to Sydney, in Australia and their descendants periodically return to spend holidays in Corte Spinata. And so Therese Bianchini and Ross P. (Sydney Australia, 4 -10 September 2023) left us this message, which we are happy to quote word for word:“What a peaceful place tucked away in the small village of Melara.....Do as little as you want or as much as you want. A trip to Ferrara, Bologna, or Verona,( Just to name a few) are closer than you think.......
Corte Spinata is the perfect base for enjoying Italian nature and culture. Our apartments are ideal for truly relaxing: snoozing, reading, looking at the internet, cycling along the river Po, fishing, playing in the open fields or pottering around the vegetable garden.
Our guests can easily get to the following places for DAY TRIPS :

Super netter Vermieter
Valerio ist ein super lieber, zuvorkommender, hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Die FW war sauber, mit Bettwäsche und Endreinigung. Der Geschirrspüler und die Klimaanlage waren ein absolutes Plus. Wir haben noch extra Bettwäsche bekommen, was auch nicht üblich ist. Leider waren die Teller etwas knapp und die Dusche wirklich sehr eng. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, in typisch italienischer Umgebung. Der Garten sehr schön und die Terrasse toll

Nice place
The house is ideal to stay in: well equipped, clean, enough room. It is equipped just like a house for leaving and not for a short stay. One note: internet is not super fast, so no youtube videos. Prepare some books to read. The place around is nothing special: a very small village at the river side. There is nothing to do there. However, in some 30 min to one hour by car (or by train is also possible) you get to Verona, Ferrara, Mantua, Padua, 1.5 hours to Venice. This is a perfect place to stay if you want to visit those beautiful Italian towns. By the way. the owner is a very nice and very helpful man.

Erholsam
Es hat alles gepasst. Der Gastgeber ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles sehr unkompliziert. Betten bequem, Küche gut ausgestattet. Schöne große Terasse. Es fehlt nichts. Einziger Minuspunkt: Es war nicht so super sauber. Aber das lag wahrscheinlich daran, dass wir sehr kurzfristig reserviert haben und sonntags angereist sind. Lage für uns sehr schön und ruhig. Preisleistungsverhältnis gut! Unbedingt an Mückenschutz denken ;-)

Beau séjour à Melara
Valerio, notre hôte, nous attendait à notre arrivée. Toutes les explications nécessaires nous ont été données. Le gîte était très agréable et bien équipé. Seul petit bémol, la douche est difficile d'accès lorsque l'on est un peu corpulent. Valerio nous a consacré 2 bonnes heures pour visiter Vérone le lendemain de notre arrivée en nous montrant les endroits à voir de plus près, c'était très agréable.

Maison sympa et accueil chaleureux
Location conforme à l'annonce. Valerio est un hôte très chaleureux et toutes les informations envoyées en amont de notre séjour nous ont été très utiles. Maison typique et spacieuse (mention spéciale pour le grand patio !), au calme le long du Pô et au milieu des champs de maïs. De surcroît très bien localisée pour sillonner entre Venetie et Émilie-Romane (Vérone, Venise, Ravenne, Bologne, Mantoue, Modène, Parme, la Mer Adriatique...). Bref tout était parfait pour notre famille. Je rajoute que la climatisation a été très appréciée particulièrement pendant les fortes chaleurs. Tout comme le fait que le ménage ainsi que les taxes, draps et serviettes soient inclus dans le prix.

Perfect spot
L'endroit est calme avec un grand jardin sécurisé pour les enfants. La maison est agréable et très bien outillée pour cuisiner. Nous avons pu alterner les excursions à la journée (Venise, Mandoue, Bologne, Vérone, adriatique.. ) et celles de repos avec nos enfants de 3 et 4 ans durant ce séjour de 2 semaines. L'hôte, Valerio, est très agréable et aidant, enfin le glacier artisanal de Bergantino est un régal 😁. Vraiment l'endroit idéal pour des vacances familiales !!
