This renovated farmhouse—immersed in the flowing green hills of Bologna—just might be the stay you’ve been waiting for. Perhaps the pastoral antidote to city life, the home conveniently sits just 25 minutes from the downtown city center. Inside, the ground floor centers around a spacious, fluid lounge and a dining area anchored by a kitchen with all of the right amenities, alongside a laundry room and full bath.
Glass doors open directly onto a private garden sanctuary, where a hammock, summer barbecue, and alfresco dining table invite long, unhurried afternoons. Upstairs, the layout transitions into two large, sunny bedrooms—including a primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet—each uniquely configured with a queen and a single bed to easily accommodate families or close-knit friend groups. It is a peaceful, quiet country retreat that refuses to compromise on location, keeping you minutes from beloved local restaurants and perfectly positioned for hyper-local trips to Lamborghini, Ferrari, traditional balsamic vinegar makers, and artisanal Parmigiano-Reggiano dairies.
