Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

We had an excellent vacation at casa Brown. We enjoyed the beautiful area. The pool with the view of the beautiful landscape was a highlight for everybody in the family. We highly recommend Casa Brown.

Het verblijf bij Casa Brown was in 1 woord fantastisch; het appartement was ruim, schoon en zeer volledig ingericht. Het uitzicht was onbeschrijflijk, het zwembad heerlijk. Stephen en Caroline deden er alles aan om het ons naar de zin te maken. Van de gedetailleerde routebeschrijving, tips voor uitjes tot een warm onthaal met zelfgebakken cake. Het was in 1 woord fantastisch!!

I cannot recommend this property enough, unless you hate mountain roads ! The apartment has everything you could reasonably ask for. The owners are attentive and genuine and have mastered the art of not appearing to be in your face whilst trying to look after you. The position of the property is simply stunning and definitely don't make assumptions from the drive from Bologna - which is rather flat and uninteresting. To wake to the views from the bedrooms every day was a true privilege and left me somewhat envious of Caroline and Stephen.
There is lots to do around particularly if you are a car nut or just relax around the pool, drink fine Italian wine and enjoy the rest.

My wife, adult son and I just returned home after spending an incredible week at Casa Brown and surroundings, located up in the hills between Polinago and Monchio in the Emilia Romagna region of Northern Italy. Caroline and Stephen ensured that our stay in their beautiful home was perfect, right from the beginning. Before arriving at their home they quickly responded to our questions about the home and the area via email. Several days before leaving for their home they sent a very detailed set of driving instructions, including where to get some groceries and supplies. Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted by Caroline and Stephen and shown to the spacious, comfortable and very clean apartment on the upper floor of their newly renovated farm house. We were very thankful to find a fridge stocked with some basics to get us started, including eggs, milk, a bottle of the local rose frizzante, a cold beer, and some delicious homemade cherry jam, chutney, and limoncello. This was such a wonderful surprise after a long day of flying and driving! During our stay we explored the nearby bigger towns of Modena, Verona, and Bologna, as well as some smaller gems, such as Brandola. While the area is steeped in history it is also a food lovers paradise and Caroline and Stephen had plenty of advice for some local trattorias and pizzerias! We were never disappointed! They have organized several binders for their guests which help with everything you might want to know about their home, where to eat, and what to see. Of course, they are also very accommodating and were more than happy to share their time and their love and knowledge of the area. We spent a fun morning with them both on a tour of the local parmigiano-reggiano factory! We also enjoyed spending some time relaxing by the pool and looking out over the valley from our perch on high. It being the end of July, the valley bottom got very warm, but up at Casa Brown there were always cool breezes in the evening. We always slept very well. Caroline and Stephen obviously love their home in the hills and they are very gracious, friendly, and helpful hosts. We will be highly recommending their home to all our family and friends. And, if lucky enough, we would love to return for another stay in their home. Thank you Caroline and Stephen for your hospitality and your friendship!

Our stay at Casa Brown was an amazing experience and we would highly recommend!
We stayed at the villa following a weeks travelling in Italy and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The apartment was well furnished with all the facilities you need and three large bedrooms (one with ensuite).
The location of the villa is ideally located centrally in Italy to allow you to explore the surrounding area and Stephen and Caroline were eager to share their own recommendations and ideas of places to see.
The view from the pool (and all around the villa) is incredible with the photos not doing this justice! The villa is located in the mountains south of Modena and there is no noise pollution allowing for total isolation and relaxation.
Stephen and Caroline make excellent hosts, helping us find the local supermarket, giving us all the information on the local area, including a suggestion to walk to the top of the mountain and see the Milky Way (highly recommended), and even going so far as to giving us a lift to a local restaurant to allow the designated driver an evening off!
Our group consisted of four 24 year olds and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to enjoy Central Italy!
Amazing Holiday and thanks again to Caroline and Stephen!

The property is well presented and well equipped. The owners are very welcoming and offer great advice about the local area. We used the property as a base for day trips to Milan, Lake Garda and more locally to Modena to the Ferrari and Panini museums. A trip to the local Parmesan factory in Monchio with Stephen is well worth a visit too. A week wasn't long enough for us to explore the area so we will be going back. The views from the property are sensational too !

Amazing location and views, very nice apartment and pool – and excellent hosts. With all 5-star ratings already at the website, it still exceeded our expectations.
To start with the latter, we had received very detailed driving instructions only to be noticed shortly before arrival that the nearest road was closed due to construction works. Stephen was therefore receiving us at the crossroads leading us an alternative and hard-to-find route to the house. Arriving late afternoon we found the kitchen and fridge stocked with basic supplies allowing us a good breakfast next day without having to think about shopping the first day. What a reception of guests (but very descriptive of Stephen and Caroline as hosts)!
Throughout our stay Stephen and Caroline demonstrated the exact right balance of giving us privacy and quietness and on the other hand being available and hospitable providing lots of useful information, advice and even having us in for drinks one evening.
The apartment and facilities turned out to be just as promised. Three nice bedrooms, 2 bathroom (1 en-suite) and big living room / kitchen provided ample space for 6 guests (we were 5). Also all appliances and kitchenware was excellent (even several sharp knives which we find rare in rentals).
The pool area was very nice as well with sunchairs and also possibilities to sit in the shade of the parasol.
And the views…. The pictures in the website does not serve it justice – they are amazing. No wonder why Stephen and Caroline chose to live here!
We have stayed in many rental homes around Europe, but this apartment is definitely the best equipped, biggest and with the best sense of details. We would be delighted to come back some day.
