Our tip: take a hike or cycle tour around the estate, it is great for both cycling and hiking.

Why you’ll love it...
Once upon a time, Palazzo Di Varignana began as a farm cultivating vines and olive trees. Today, it has evolved into a beautiful estate that continues to produce exquisite wine and olive oil. The historic villa, dating back to 1705, stands as the iconic centerpiece of the estate. The hotel is a collection of various buildings, including the main structure housing restaurants, reception, and the spa, as well as additional buildings for rooms and villas, a wine and olive tasting area, a golf practice range, tennis courts, and conference space. Keep an eye out for the meticulously restored carriage from the original Royal Train. Palazzo di Varignana exudes elegance and Italian style, featuring timeless design and beautiful art. Stroll through the estate amidst the vines and olive trees, surrounded by peaceful green hills and breathtaking views. This part of Italy still offers serenity and tranquility. The spa serves as a haven for relaxation and introspection, with about seven outdoor swimming pools and one indoor pool. Whether you're seeking a well-deserved short stay (perhaps a city trip to Bologna) or a more intensive health journey with one of the health programs led by Dr. Annamarie Acquaviva, Palazzo Di Varignana is dedicated to helping guests become the best version of themselves. Dr. Acquaviva employs a holistic approach based on the five pillars of life for a comprehensive and rejuvenating experience.

Een heel aangename ervaring. We waren met een groepje en er was werkelijk aan alles gedacht en alles was goed georganiseerd. Het domein is zeer groot en mooi verzorgd. Alle faciliteiten zijn aanwezig. Je kan hier ook uitstekend eten. Het personeel is heel behulpzaam en attentvol, ook met onverwachte aanpassingen. Aanrader!

Dit resort is werkelijk prachtig en ruim opgezet rondom een schitterend Palazzo. Het landgoed beschikt over meerdere zwembaden en biedt adembenemende uitzichten. De kamers zijn uitzonderlijk netjes en ruim, maar dat mag natuurlijk verwacht worden voor de prijs die wordt gevraagd. Het ontbijt is royaal en voldoet aan de verwachtingen. We hebben ook een avond in het Aurevo restaurant gegeten, dat uitkijkt op het grote zwembadencomplex; het eten was lekker, maar in het centrum van Bologna kun je wellicht nog beter eten voor een lagere prijs. Maar dan mis je natuurlijk wel de prachtige uitzichten en de rust van dit domein.
