Palazzo di Varignana Resort & SPA

Perched on the rolling hills above Castel San Pietro Terme, this resort & spa sits connected to the local convention center. It’s a short drive from Bologna sights like Piazzale Dante and the Library of Castel San Pietro Terme, with Bologna Airport roughly 30 km away.

Centered around a 1705 country palace with four towers and a stone-built borgo, the property spreads across expansive grounds and an ornamental garden listed in the Grandi Giardini Italiani. Rooms mix Tuscan-style touches with contemporary finishes and offer private balconies or patios, memory-foam and down-bedding options, minibars, flat-screen TVs and rainfall showers. The vibe is relaxed but refined—family-friendly and pet-friendly, with babysitting available for a surcharge.

A full-service spa of more than 4,000 m² delivers massages, body treatments and facials alongside multiple indoor and outdoor pools and a 24-hour health club. Sport courts, outdoor trails and landscaped lawns invite active days, while free parking and a tour desk make exploring easy. Expect hilltop mornings and plenty of space to unwind.

On-site business center and about 300 m² (3,228 sq ft) of conference and meeting space. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps things moving, and roundtrip airport shuttle or train pick-up can be arranged for a surcharge.

Several on-site restaurants serve Italian cuisine with regional Emilia‑Romagna influences, plus a fine-dining option, poolside bar and multiple lounges. Complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (07:00–10:30), and limited-hour room service is available.
