Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from best pal, Anita, and is from the Hotel Poli in Castelnovo di Sotto, Italy.
Documents date the town back to at least 980 AD, but even earlier it was invaded by the Gauls. The town’s origin was most likely as a castle, and at its center was an old fortress dating back to the time of the invasions. Today the fort serves at the town hall, and the town spreads out from that hub.
Hotel Poli is a 3-star moderately priced hotel in the center of town, giving it a great location for exploring. The hotel has 53 rooms, all with balconies, and include modern amenities – including internet access.
Adjacent to the hotel are eight vacation apartments of various sizes that will sleep up to three people. All apartments include a kitchenette, living area, and porch and make for a nice combination of hotel amenities and personal privacy.
This looks like a charming little town and affordable hotel to serve as home base for exploring the Reggio Emilia area.
