Bentivoglio  

In the centre of Bentivoglio, opposite the Bentivoglio family castle dating to the 15th–16th century, this pet-friendly historic hotel sits about 12 km from Bologna and close to the motorway exit and local convention centres.

Housed in an 1800 country mansion and renovated in 1998, the hotel keeps a classic, laid-back vibe with an 80 m² garden. The 49–50 rooms feature en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, satellite/cable TV, hairdryers, minibars and hire safes.

On-site perks include an air-conditioned à la carte restaurant with a non-smoking area, a bar, coffee shop, fitness centre, 24-hour reception, room service, laundry and a TV room — plus free breakfast, free Wi‑Fi and parking with garage options. Wake up to castle-front mornings and stretch out in the garden before heading into town.

Conference and meeting rooms, an internet corner and free Wi‑Fi make this a convenient stop for delegates and business travellers.

The hotel’s à la carte restaurant serves regional dishes in an air-conditioned dining room, and the bar and coffee shop cover light bites and drinks; free breakfast is included. For local flavour, seafood restaurants such as Il Duca di Bentivoglio are within walking distance.
