Palazzo Loup  

Tucked into the Tosco-Emilian Apennine hills in Loiano, this 17th‑century villa sits about 30 km from Bologna and 70 km from Florence. It’s next to a golf course and roughly 9 minutes by car from Monte Bibele, with Path of the Gods and the Pliocene Contrafforte Natural Reserve within an easy drive. Family-friendly setting in an ancient parkland—perfect for hilltime getaways.

A restored 17th‑century palazzo blending historic bones and modern comforts. Rooms (48–49) feature minibars, flat‑screen TVs, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and bidets; select suites offer jetted tubs/Jacuzzi and separate living areas. The restaurant lives in converted wine cellars and the property opens onto a panoramic sun terrace and outdoor pool.

Bibele MadSpa is the showstopper: hydrotherapy pool, emotional showers, sauna, steam room and tailored massages, facials and body treatments. A health club, indoor and outdoor pools, poolside bar and sun terrace set the recreational tone. Concierge, wedding services, babysitting and an area shuttle/airport & train transfers (surcharges apply) are available. Pets are allowed in specific rooms (pet‑friendly option, fees may apply).

Equipped congress rooms, conference and banqueting halls plus a business center and meeting rooms make events easy. Express check‑in, a 24‑hour front desk and complimentary wireless internet keep things running smoothly.

Le Volte serves Mediterranean and traditional Emilian dishes crafted from local produce in a dramatic wine‑cellar setting with a panoramic veranda. There’s also a coffee shop/café, poolside bar for happy‑hour and barbeques, and 24‑hour room service.
