Great place, great location

This is a lovely place, the photos are accurate, the place is clean and well-maintained and has everything you need for a vacation. It is close to the autostrada as well as a train station and perfect for day trips (need a car here). Franco, the owner, lives on the property and is consistently around for help and good advice. Dozza is very near by and is a charming town with good restaurants.

Cozy Country Apartment

This cozy apartment had all we needed — well equipped kitchenette, comfortable beds and proximity to Bologna, Modena and Ravenna — all cities that we visited by train. Franco was very friendly and communicative — left a bottle of local wine for us to enjoy.

Relaxing retreat

This is a beautiful, peaceful property ripe for relaxation. Well managed and maintained, it’s a calm location with thoughtful touches. The beds were notably comfortable, the pool was lovely and included deck chairs equipped with cell chargers, and there’s plenty of wine at the ready. Plus Dozza is a charmer with great food, Imola is right there to enjoy the track, and the host family even offers a tremendously useful and thoughtful cooking class and dinner. Go and enjoy!

Loved Dozza!

Spent a week in apartment Natalia. The position was excellent to explore the region and the little town of Dozza was a delight. Franco was friendly, available and informative. The pool was lovely and so needed in the intense heat. We loved the tomatoes and figs Franco left from his garden. A wonderful stay in a beautiful country home.

Lovely country home in Dozza near Imola

This unit is full of charm. Beautifully renovated and a fully equipped on lovely grounds, conveniently located near Imola and the town of Dozza. We are just sorry we didn't have more time to enjoy the property and nice pool. We had a good bottle of wine waiting for us at our arrival; it was a nice touch. Thank you Franco for sharing your nice property with us. We definitely recommend it.

Period furniture in quiet location

The building has been sensitively adapted and the flats lovingly furnished with period furniture and fixtures. Nonetheless, the heating is excellent and everything works properly: the knives are even sharp. The pictures are accurate, the location is quiet, there are good hourly trains to Bologna from Castel S. Pietro terme. The landlord is very friendly and helpful. We will come again.

Dazzling Dozza

Villa Calanco was a perfect home base for visiting the Emilia-Romagna. The apartment was charming, cozy and well equipped. We loved being able to buy wine from the honor system stash in the entry hall. At $5 euro a bottle it was a steal. The property is beautiful and very quiet with a swimming pool for those hot days. The small village of Dozza 1.5 KM away is a jewel, The town walls are painted by artists displaying high quality art work. I highly recommend Villa Calanco.

Beautiful Country Home

Our stay at Villa Calanco was all we expected and more! The apartment was clean and beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Franco and his family were wonderful hosts and assisted us when we had questions about the area. We loved the welcome bottle of wine from the region and the ability to enjoy additional bottles for 5 Euros on the honor system. Communication with Franco was prompt and easy as was the check in and out process. We enjoyed the property grounds and sitting areas where you could take a break and relax. The town of Dozza was a friendly and we loved getting up and going to town for a coffee and visiting the castle. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Vacation Country Home near Dozza, Italy

We really enjoyed our stay at the country home. It is a lovely property and Franco was as helpful as could be. We explored the nearby town of Dozza, with its artistically painted walls and the castle. We had several meals at the local Tratoria there, which were wonderful. The setting for the country house is beautiful. Out the windows of the apartment were views of lovely hillsides and two playful goats. We had the benefit of country that was close to city. A winning combination. We also visited nearby Faenza which is well known for its distinctive ceramics. The apartment was just the right size for us, the shower was great and the bed very comfortable. What more could we ask for? We hope to return again and stay for a longer period of time.

Our excellent stay at Villa Calanco

We stayed at Villa Calanco to attend a show in Bologna. We didn't want to stay in the city because it is very expensive and the traffic is terrible, so we decided to stay outside of Bologna. Villa Calanco ended up being closer than we thought to Bologna, only 25-35 minutes depending on traffic. I wish we could have had more time to stay, or that we could come back on a holiday. The apartments are very modern and very well equipped. A comparably priced hotel would have been half the size, and without any of the amenities that Villa Calanco had. On the website, the photos look very nice, but sometimes photos on websites can be misleading because they only take pictures of the nice features. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that everything was better than the pictures, and the pictures couldn't do justice to the overall comfortable environment of the apartments. Everything is new, clean and spacious. I emphasize spacious because the apartment itself is very big, especially compared to other European hotels, and because the property and the surrounding land is so big as well. For as good as the apartment is, the hospitality is even better. We weren't able to meet the entire family, but Franco is a wonderful person. When our car broke down, he took time to take us to the train station and he offered to take us to Bologna if we couldn't get the car fixed. He knows the area very well and is full of knowledge you make your stay more comfortable. Next year, we are planning on staying there again.

We had an absolutely fantastic week-long stay at Villa Calanco!Franco is the perfect host—so welcoming, helpful, and attentive. We stayed in Apartment Antonia, which was stunning and full of rustic charm. It was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with every appliance and utensil you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.The pool area is lovely and extremely relaxing, and the surrounding grounds and gardens are simply spectacular.The villa's location is ideal: it’s within easy walking distance of the beautiful town of Dozza, and it serves as a great base for exploring further afield in the Emilia-Romagna region.We truly hope to return again in the future. Highly recommended!

Traditional

This felt like a quintessentially traditional, Romagna farmhouse. Renovated authentically, even in the kitchen and bathroom where authentic hardware and furniture were blended with the modern amenities. Owner-managet Franco was very pleasant to work with and a font of information. Large rooms, high ceilings, comfortable even on hot days. We stayed during unusually warm weather and the pool was a great luxury. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, Cozy Apartment Central to Romagna Sites

We spent a wonderful week in Apartment Natalia just outside Dozza. The grounds of Villa Calanco are spacious and offer beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, and yet the town of Dozza and its restaurants are within walking distance. From this location, most of the sites in Romagna are less than an hour by car, which makes for easy day trips. Communication with our host Franco was extremely easy, as he responded very promptly to all inquiries. All in all, a delightful stay in a beautiful property!

Great place to stay in Emilia-Romagna

We had a fantastic stay here in August. If you are looking for an easy, comfortable and relaxing place to stay, I would recommend it very highly, The house is easy to reach from Bologna airport and is nice and tranquil, even though you are a short driving distance to supermarkets and shops nearby. There is a good choice of restaurants in the lovely town of Dozza and nearby and these are in easy walking distance (1.5km or so). The apartment is very comfortable and mostly well equipped and the pool is large and peaceful. We were lucky to stay almnost with the place to ourselves, with the Geese, Goats and Chickens for company. Franco and family made us very wlecome and the local guides and other information were all very useful. Very much recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in this region of Italy.

Perfect Everything!

Our stay at Villa Calanco was perfect in every way! The location is great for spending time in the charming village of Dozza and exploring other villages in Emilia-Romagna. We stayed in the apartment Natalia and loved it! It has everything one needs for a comfortable stay and feels cozy and homey. We loved all of the photos of the family who has owned the villa for generations. Franco was a wonderful host - always available and helpful. If we were every in the area again, we would certainly stay in Natalia!
