An introduction to Locanda La Concia

What is the story behind Locanda La Concia, what was your inspiration to create it?

The building has long been owned by my family but it was in bad condition and falling down. The roof was cracked and the floor was very damaged. So I decided to do a huge renovation.

During a trip to Antwerp, I discovered Graanmarkt 13, which features a restaurant, a fashion store and a penthouse apartment designed by Vincent Van Duysen. This was my inspiration, to have different concepts on different floors.

When I went back home, I did some research to figure out if something like that was doable in Italy. It was then that I had the idea of a locanda. Back in the day, it was a place for travellers to stop for the night and means “hospitality + restaurant”.

At the start of this project, I was telling people I was creating a boutique hotel. But I soon realised that a locanda was much more appropriate for a town like Reggio Emilia.

We officially opened to guests in May 2022.

How would you describe the atmosphere, architecture and interior design of Locanda La Concia?

I work as an interior designer and architect, so I did all of the interiors myself. I have been doing it for about 20 years and have my own studio in Milan. Setting up the restaurant and hospitality scared me a bit but the design part, I was confident about.

The ingredients in Locanda La Concia are contemporary and traditional. Architecturally, the building is very traditional, with wooden beams and clay used in its construction. I tried to save as much of its original character as possible during the restoration. For example, it’s a narrow building but the rooms were already suited to hosting hotel rooms. On the interior design side of things, I tried to give it a contemporary twist.

I used to call it an “Italian riad”, like the ones they have in Marrakech. It’s the same feeling. From the outside, it looks like a normal house. But when you open the door, it’s a new world.

To you personally, what is so special about Locanda La Concia?

I’m very attached to the place as it was my grandma’s. It’s hard to understand from the photos, but when you step inside, it feels like home… or better than home! The rooms are wide and the colours are soft. There’s this sense of quiet. Guests who spend more than two nights always feel as though it is their home.

Locanda La Concia rooms & rates

When you enter Locanda La Concia, you step into a long corridor that leads to the Bistrot, which is an L-shape with a small kitchen. It occupies the entire ground floor and has an amazing fireplace that we light during the cooler months. There is also a small basement where we store wine and it can be used for private dinners.

In the heart of the building is an inner courtyard with a narrow staircase that goes up and around to the rooms. There are eight rooms across several categories, including standard rooms, suites and junior suites. Some face the street and others face the inner courtyard.

On the first floor is one of our most beautiful suites, a junior suite, plus what we call a double deluxe room. It faces the inner courtyard and has a very nice terrace that you can reach from the bedroom or the bathroom.

Things to do in Emilia-Romagna & Reggio Emilia

  • Art / Culture
  • Shopping / Markets
  • Wine tastings
  • Cooking classes
  • Hiking
  • Cycling

Since I am an architect, my top recommendation would be the Collezione Maramotti, which was established by the founder of Max Mara, Achille Maramotti. When the fashion brand moved its office to a new building, they established his art collection in the original premises.

In the city centre is an impressive church whose cloister has been transformed into a museum. Once a year, it hosts the Fotografia Europea festival and during that week, the city transforms.

I would also recommend having some food experiences to try the local specialties, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano.

The location of Locanda La Concia

Locanda La Concia is in Reggio Emilia, a small city between Milan and Bologna. The region is called Emilia-Romagna and is developing very fast, with an international airport and a large railway junction in the capital, Bologna.

We are located on a quiet street just a minute’s walk from one of the most beautiful plazas in the city. So you are near all the comings and goings but you can come back to a place of rest, away from the crowds. Within walking distance of Locanda La Concia are plenty of restaurants and shops.

There are many parts of Italy that are overly touristic, so people are starting to search for other places. In Emilia-Romagna, there are still authentic towns and cities that are easy to explore on foot. Reggio Emilia is one of them and this is what people love. While the city is growing, there are still traditional restaurants that are very authentic and lots of small, local shops. It’s off the beaten track.

When is the best time to visit Emilia-Romagna?

From spring to autumn (roughly March to October) is the best time to visit. There are restaurants in the surrounding mountains that you can escape to when the temperatures get too hot. During the wintertime, it can be rainy and cold.
