Pool and relax on a hill 15 km from bologna - Garden

We had a wonderful week at Borgo degli Ulivi. Alessandro and Angela were so helpful and kind. We had many wonderful experiences that would not have been possible without their connections! The food in this area is sensational and our kind hosts directed us to the best local restaurants. The view from the pool is sublime

We hope to return one day.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Borgo degli Ulivi in Crespellano, only minutes from Bologna, in early June. Due to mobility issues, our hosts, Alessandro and Angela, set us up in the ground floor garden apartment adjacent to their home. The 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment is fully furnished and tastefully decorated with full kitchen, dining and separate living room. It also has its own private outdoor patio where we had breakfast every morning. It has a beautiful pool where you can spend warm summer afternoons keeping cool when not exploring. There are so many places to visit in Emilia Romagna, and Crespellano makes a perfect starting point for any direction you choose to go. Even though it is small, there are many good choices for nearby dining. There are also several markets and shops to fill all of your food needs. Alessandro and Angela know all about the surrounding area and can recommend many wonderful places to go for day trips and enjoying the area and food specialties of Emilia Romagna, including prosciutto, parma ham, balsamic vinegar, Parmesan cheese, cherries, tortellini and much much more. If you are into fast cars, the Ferrari and Lamborghini factories and museums are also close by. When considering staying in Bologna on your next Italian trip, think about staying at Borgo degli Ulivi, instead. It is located in a very quiet and beautiful setting in the countryside, but close to everything, and Alessandro and his wife Angela are the perfect hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and so will you.

The place consists of 2 apartments with access to an independent part of the garden , barbecue and an really big outdoor pool (++). The view from the garden and the pool is outstanding. The hilly landscape of Monteveglio area with old villas, vineyards and fields. Rooms are vast and well equipped. Even in the hottest days (40 degrees) the temperature inside, with a little help of portable aircon was OK.

The hosts are very nice and helpful. Following their hints reg restaurants and places worth visitting one can find a lot of joy.

Only the WiFi connection does not cover the whole plot so be prepared

Enjoy

De locatie, op een heuveltop, is fantastisch. Rustige omgeving met een mooi uitzicht over de vallei. Wij verbleven in het garden appartement. Appartement was van alle gemakken voorzien, goed uitgeruste keuken, lekkere tuinstoelen waar je lekker privé kunt zitten, goed bed en alles zeer schoon. Zwembad is, zeker door uitzicht, een heerlijke plek om na een dag fietsen en dorpjes bekijken heerlijk te relaxen en bij te komen. Alessandro en Angela zijn zeer gastvrije mensen die graag je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk maken. Mede door de vele adresjes die Alessandro kent hebben wij heerlijk gegeten en veel mooie dorpen in de buurt ontdekt. Bologna en Modena zijn makkelijk bereikbaar met de auto (Bologna ca. 20 minuten en Modena ca. 35 minuten), maar voor de fietsers ook prima te doen op de fiets. Deze locatie met haar gastvrije eigenaren is zeker een aanrader!!

Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable cet été!

L'atout majeur était la grande piscine qui a permis de se rafraichir!!

Le logement était agréable, et propre; mais pas de coin salon.

Un peu sombre mais finalement cela a permis de ne pas avoir trop chaud!!

Accueil sympathique par Allessandro.
