    Close and quiet retreat from Bologna
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Classic Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The location is close to Bologna that you can visit, but at the same time far away from the very touristy and noise area. It is a wonderful property, beautifully arranged, with huge trees and lovely flowers. The rooms are very spacious, well equipped with anything you may need (toiletries, slippers etc). Very good breakfast and the stuff are extremely friendly. There is also an underground parking for the hotel guests, as well as some spaces right in front of the hotel. On the location you have a restaurant which is definitely known to the locals - every night there were people coming to have dinner, celebrating various occasions or simply to enjoy the great food (the appetizers, the pizza, the pasta, the bread, the sweets, they are all worth it).

    There were a number of parties on the same evening. The atmosphere in the dining room was good but unfortunately I had a very disturbed nights sleep as there was a lot of noise from party guests

    We had dinner which was excellent, extremely good efficient waiters

    Nothing!

    We had a wonderful 3 nights at this hotel, after spending time exploring both Bologna and Florence. We wanted some time to relax and we certainly did that. The room was spacious and clean, the grounds and pool area were immaculate, and the service from staff was exceptional. We ate lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant on a number of occasions, and the food was great, in terms of choice and taste. We didn't explore much of the immediate surrounding area, other than a nearby park which had live music on at the weekend, which was fantastic and I would strongly recommend. It was easy to get to and from Bologna, and we got a taxi to the airport directly from the hotel for approx. €30. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking for a hidden gem on the outskirts of Bologna, with lovely grounds, facilities, and great service.

    Anything not to like is nitpicking, really. Some traffic noise from the road made it slightly less relaxing (not audible from the room though). I didn't have a car, so expensive in a taxi to go anywhere - bus not convenient.

    Helpful and friendly staff and a beautiful and clean pool. The food is good - restaurant is obviously a local favourite.I had a great massage in the spa too.

    A coffee pod machine or kettle would have been good in the room and a full length mirror ( there was only the mirror over the bathroom vanity in my bathroom). The hair dryer appeared to have been dropped as nozzle could not be fitted). Minor quibbles that wouldn’t stop me returning.

    A boutique hotel in a beautiful garden setting, lovely big swimming pool with plenty of sun beds both around the pool and under shade trees. Great restaurant by the pool with tables both under shade cover or in full sun. Very good menu and reasonably priced. My room was a good size with a huge comfortable bed and a large ensuite. I also enjoyed the wellness centre ( sauna, spa). The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I would love to return as I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

    Beautiful villa hotel close to Bologna
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Classic Double Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Its possible for locals to buy day-access to the pool and garden, and during weekends and some week days, the hotel sold far too many access' for this. I understand its a good way to support their income, but during weekends the pool and garden was filled with local day-guests and it did not leave space for guests checking in late. During our stay there was private events in the garden almost every evening, with band and music and this is a bit disturbing. On the positive side, its a lively garden and you are still able to have dinner and drinks in the garden restaurant, as the private parties are set up around in the garden. The all close the music at 24:00, so not late night..

    Beautiful villa hotel with a nice garden and pool area with restaurant around it. The breakfast was also good. The gentlemen working in the breakfast restaurant was especially service minded. The Spa is small but very nice and feels very private. Loved the older Italian ladies, who come to the pool area on week-days :) They buy day-pass and socialize with friends. Enjoyed to stay close to Bologna and still have a hotel with garden and pool, when the weather is to hot for city life.

    The lights etc, all ran off control panels in room which was a little complicated but did not spoil our stay.

    Comfortable room with a nice view of the pool and garden, in a lovely converted villa. Ombretta on reception gave us a lovely welcome and the restaurant food was excellent, with attentive staff. We also enjoyed the pool area, although only stayed for one night.
