The resort is in a 20 minutes’ drive distance from Bologna, one of the most charming cities in Central Italy, while in less than 30 minutes guests can reach Imola to visit the racetrack having hosted numerous Formula 1 races. San Marino is 1h40 away.
Nestled amidst the serene splendour of the Bolognese hills, this resort in Emilia Romagna shows an original and sustainable model of widespread hospitality where history meets modernity. With its 150 rooms and suites, three exceptional restaurants, a 4000-square-meter spa featuring seven outdoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art gym, sports fields with a driving range, a modern conference centre, and versatile event spaces, Palazzo di Varignana offers an unparalleled array of amenities. The essence of the project lies in the restoration of historic buildings, forgotten rural lands, and abandoned farmhouses, breathing new life into neglected crops like olive trees and vines.
Perfectly located in the heart of Emilia Romagna, Palazzo di Varignana is just outside the wonderful city of Bologna, where medieval towers stand tall and vibrant piazzas invite guests to savour the local culinary delights. Delve into the region's renowned gastronomy, tasting the exquisite flavours of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, balsamic vinegar, and traditional pasta dishes or embark on a daytrip to San Marino, the fifth smallest country in the world. The resort itself offers a wide range of activities and opportunities. Immerse yourself in the artful tranquillity of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and indulge in the revitalizing experience of a Japanese onsen. For those seeking active pursuits, tennis courts provide the perfect setting to engage in friendly competition or hone your skills.
The heart of this modern resort near Bologna is Palazzo Bentivoglio, a renovated country castle with four traditional towers dating back to 1705. Overall, in the rooms and suites every detail has been carefully curated to ensure the utmost comfort and convenience. The neutral hues with accents of rich dark brown exude a sense of understated elegance. State-of-the-art lighting enhances the ambiance, creating a soothing atmosphere for relaxation. Some rooms also feature an equipped private garden or a balcony, offering a stunning view on the magical spectacle of the hills or the charming private park. The suites also offer an additional touch of indulgence, with the option of enjoying a rejuvenating steam room experience in the luxurious hammam or relishing in the blissful serenity of an outdoor jacuzzi.
