About this property
Set in the Borgo Panigale district, Villa Aretusi once belonged to Cesare Aretusi, late-Renaissance painter from Bologna. The city centre and Guglielmo Marconi Airport are 10 minutes' drive away. Parking is free. The rooms are located in the former barn, and come with tiled floors and air conditioning. Each one features a TV, free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom with free toiletries. A sweet Italian breakfast is served each morning. Villa Aretusi's restaurant is run by a young chef who has lots of international experience. A meeting and dining room is set in what was once the painter's studio. There is a large garden and a bus stop right outside for connections into Bologna. The property is easily reached from Bologna's ring road and the A14 and A1 motorways. Bologna Fiera exhibition centre is 10 minutes away by car.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.
