Corte Bertoia
Extremely charming country inn for you stay in the Mantua Area

Set in the vocative countryside of the natural park of the Secchia River, a short distance from Mantua, Bertoia Court, Bed & Breakfast is an ancient dairy-farm which has been restored with the use of natural materials and at the same time respecting the environment. The B&B welcomes guests with a family atmosphere. Rooms are on an independent level and breakfast is served in the large entrance room with a view onto the countryside.

Three rooms, spacious and furnished in the traditional style, contain private bathrooms and private heating.

The house was built in the 1600s as a property of the Benedictine Abbey at Polirone to administer an estate of 300 rods. At the end of the 1700s it was registered in the Teresian cadastre as "House and Court for Holiday use" within a vast holding that supplied wine and grain to the monastery. After the ecclesiastical ownings had been confiscated in the Napoleonic period, the property became private and new buildings were added for growing necessities. The main part was rebuilt at the beginning of the 1900s and today it contains the B & B.

The B & B is situated in an evocative area, set in the green of the countryside and surrounded by 30 hectares of farming land. You can use your stay to live in direct contact with nature, going for walks on the banks, bicycle-tours discovering churches from Roman period in the area or just reading a book sitting on the grass. You can also observe the starry nights - this experience can be completed with a visit to the nearby astronomy observatory.
