Agriturismo Il Cavicchio  

Tucked into the rolling hills of Pianoro, just 15 minutes from Bologna city center. Close to Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa Park, Margherita Gardens and Villa Spada, with Bologna Airport about 22 km away. A farmstay setting that's pet-friendly and family-friendly — an easy base for Bologna and Emilia‑Romagna day trips.

A charming agriturismo farmhouse with five rooms and two self‑catering apartments where rustic materials meet modern comfort. Rooms feature flat‑screen TVs, minibars, private bathrooms (some with bidets), books and local artworks; apartments include an eat‑in kitchen, AC, satellite TV and automatic air recycling. Expect fireplaces, a garden with vines and a small forest, and organic fields producing fruit, vegetables and housemade preserves.

Dip into the outdoor pool, rent a bicycle for local trails, stroll the two‑hectare woodland or picnic in the garden. On‑site BBQ grills, a solarium and playrooms for kids keep things lively. The property grows grapes and herbs on site and offers a relaxed poolside atmosphere and plenty of trails for hiking and biking.

Free wired and wireless internet throughout, luggage storage and a library. A conference/meeting hall is available and rooms include desks; free self parking onsite.

Continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30–9:30 (for a fee) featuring home‑made jams, cakes, yogurt, seasonal fruit, Parma ham and Parmesan. In summer breakfasts spill onto the wisteria‑shaded veranda; in winter they’re served in the dining room. The farm produces its own Sangiovese and preserves, which are offered to guests.
