Peaceful country retreat in great location

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Italy. We stayed in a stylish apartment in the elegant 18th century Villa Calanco. The property is set in a large garden in the countryside, with nice views of the surrounding farmland. I enjoyed swimming in the well-maintained pool and relaxing beside it. The kitchen was well equipped, and we liked to have a barbeque in the evening. However, the steps up to the apartment make it a challenge to remember everything to minimise the journeys up and down. Eating tomatoes and courgettes fresh from the garden was delightful. The property is only a few minutes drive from Dozza, a pretty little town, and is conveniently situated for visiting other towns, such as Imola, Bologna, Modena , Ferrara and Ravenna, as well as the mountains. Franco was an attentive and helpful host and made our stay a happy one.

Just xxl-relaxing

We had a very pleasant time at a very quiet and relaxing place. We were warmly welcomed and immediatly "felt at home". Looking out of our windows we appreciated the view into the garden area. If once we go to visit Emilia Romagna again, we surely stay at this place. Thanks!

Sehr zuverlässiger und freundlicher Vermieter

Wir konnten den schönen Ort und die gemütliche Unterkunft wegen eines Unfalls nur wenige Tage genießen. Umso wichtiger war es, Franco als zuverlässigen ortskundigen Ansprechpartner im Hintergrund zu wissen. Herzlichen Dank!

Why they chose this property

Privileged location - In peaceful countryside but easy to reach from the motorway, from the train station, airport of Bologna. Excellent and convenient base for visits cultural tourism. A few minutes from all services, various typical restaurants, food stores and supermarket.
Charming apartments - Spacious, independent and real quality apartments, characteristic, carefully restored and equipped with all comforts and furnished keeping intact the charm of the rural tradition of Romagna.

What makes this property unique

We believe that we are offering something that has been missing in Romagna: not average farm holiday accommodation, not uninspiring flats, but cozy apartments in historical villa in which the owners themselves reside, amid the charm of history , comfort and tradition.
Family management - Managing reservations, keys delivery, ceck-in and ceck-out run by Franco and his family who live in the main part of the villa and are always available for any question or information
