BORGO SGARABÌA

The timeless essence of the Modenese Apennines

In the quiet, green heart of the Modenese Apennines, just a few minutes from Guiglia, Borgo Sgarabìa reveals itself-a place that seems to belong to another dimension of time. Here, nature becomes a master of harmony, and the tradition of Emilian hospitality intertwines with centuries of memory, offering travelers an authentic, rejuvenating, almost mystical experience.

Five rustic yet refined dwellings welcome guests into a landscape of remarkable beauty: centuries-old oak woods, crystal-clear springs emerging from the rocks, still lakes reflecting the sky, and pure air scented with resin, aromatic herbs, and freedom.

Hospitality that restores

At Borgo Sgarabìa, every detail expresses authenticity and care. The five dwellings, the result of meticulous restoration work, have brought new life to centuries-old buildings while respecting their original structure. Traditional materials – stone, wood, lime, terracotta – were chosen with the same sensitivity used to restore a work of art.

The interiors combine rural charm with contemporary comfort: exposed beams, stone fireplaces, period furniture harmonised with minimal design, and natural tones that evoke calm and harmony. In every apartment, underfloor heating warms the cooler seasons, while air conditioning and insect screens ensure comfort and serenity on brighter days. The discreet presence of a washing machine in each dwelling adds freedom and ease-just like in a lovingly cared-for country home. The discreet presence of a washing machine in each home makes the stay even more free, comfortable, and natural, like in a true country house lovingly cared for.

Each residence also features a fully equipped kitchen, elegant bathrooms, Wi-Fi, independent heating, a safe, and a smart TV-ensuring total wellbeing.
The outdoor spaces are an essential part of the experience: panoramic verandas, flowered porticos, private gardens, and relaxation areas inviting contemplation and gentle rhythms. One may read beneath a cherry tree, practise yoga at sunrise, or toast the sunset with a glass of local wine as the landscape glows with golden light.

Borgo Sgarabìa is also an ideal place for holistic retreats, artistic residencies, literary stays, slow-paced corporate experiences, or small private events. Each guest finds a made-to-measure haven-a place for the soul where time does not rush but accompanies, where the ancient breath of stone merges with the breath of earth, light, and wind.
