Overview of Emilia Romagna Vacation Rentals

Enjoy a Vacation in Northern Italy at Emilia Romagna Vacation Rentals

The region of Emilia Romagna in Northern Italy is known for its historic cities, beautiful countryside and exceptional gastonomy. The art cities of Modena and Parma draw thousands of visitors to enjoy their incredible frescoes and artworks created for the Renaissance Dukes of Ferrara.

The capital of Emilia Romagna is Bologna which has wonderful architecture and is an ideal base for reaching Venice, Florence, Milan and Tuscany. This ancient land is also known for its scenic beauty, lying on the slopes of the Apennines. It is a bountiful farming district and produces some excellent meats, cheese and wines to complement the divine pasta dishes served in the local trattoria.

Given the choice between staying in a modern hotel, which could be anywhere in the world, or renting a vacation rental, most couples and families choose rental accommodation. Staying in a historic cottage, townhouse or converted farm building adds a real sense of history and authenticity to your stay. Vacation rentals always offer plenty of space to spread out and give each family member privacy and space to do their own thing if they want to. Fully equipped kitchens make preparing family meals a pleasure, especially after a trip to a local market.

Many vacation rentals in Emilia Romagna have views of rolling hills, nearby towns and acres of vineyards. A well-located vacation villa is an integral part of the pleasure of staying in Emilia Romagna.

Things to do Around Your Emilia Romagna Accommodation

Exploring the local area and the historic cities is what most visitors choose to do, along with sampling the local delicious food and wine. However, the area is also ideal for touring by car or on foot. Hiking in the scenic hills is the best way to enjoy the fresh air and historic villages. Cycling is a popular sport in Italy and bikes can easily be hired for getting around. There are several golf courses offering everything from clubs to a restaurant. The best known golf club in Emilia Romagna is Golf Club Bologna.

The area has many festivals throughout the year, and carnivals with floats, dancing and fireworks are enjoyed at the slightest excuse. Saints Days, holidays and obscure legends, kitemakers festivals, and art and music festivals can all be enjoyed by visitors.

Getting to the Region of Emilia Romagna

There are regular flights from all over the world to Bologna International Airport, also known as Guglielmo Marconi Airport, after the famous radio-inventor who lived in Bologna. It is linked by a shuttle bus to Bologna city center which is just 6 km (3 miles) away. For those who want to explore the area independently, cars can easily be hired from the airport.

Places to Visit From Emilia Romagna Villas

Faenza is a well known ceramics-producing town southeast of Bologna. Further north is Modena with its Romanesque cathedral. Milan is the place to discover the latest fashions in designer clothing, either from the pricey boutiques or on the markets where imitations look just as chic.

Parma was the stronghold of the Farnese family in the 16th century and has a rich legacy of art and architecture. The Cathedral and Baptistery are well worth seeing. Ravenna should not be missed. Lying on the Adriatic coast, it has a pleasant beach but most visitors are attracted to the town for its stunning mosaics which date back to Roman times.

The Local Weather in Emilia Romagna

Emilia Romagna has a pleasant climate which allows visitors to enjoy the area almost all year-round. From May to September, it can be very hot, averaging 27 C (81 F) but a trip to the coast offers cooling sea breezes. The area gets heavy rain showers especially in the spring and autumn. The area is at its quietest from November to February when temperatures are around 6 to 12 C (43 to 54 F) and there is plenty of sunshine but cold winds; see Emilia Romagna travel guide on iGuide for further helpful tourist information.
