It is difficult to properly describe the splendor and warmth of this extraordinary villa: hundreds of years old, yet possessing all of the modern conveniences of a 5 star hotel, with spacious bedrooms, modern baths, a fully equipped kitchen and multiple grand living and dining salons. The historic furniture and appointments give one the warmth of an era long ago, along with lovely gardens, multiple outdoor dining and sitting areas and a very large swimming pool that was enjoyed on a daily basis by all of our grandchildren. The surrounding property is large, with a wonderful restaurant right next door, a driveway from Gone with the Wind, and close access to multiple small towns with family operated osterias, trattorias, cheese shops, bars, etc. Bologna is only 20 minutes away, although we enjoyed multiple small towns throughout the area as well, including Monteviglio, Bazzano, Modena, Parma etc. If you are seeking an authentic rustic Italian location to experience La Dolce Vita, I can think of no lovelier location to spend one's summer vacation!
