The property
B&B Agriturismo Casa Vallona is a historic farmhouse nestled in the Bolognese Apennines, located within a small 17th-century village surrounded by forests, hills, and vineyards. It is an authentic and charming spot, perfect for those looking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a peaceful retreat in the countryside, about 25 km from Bologna.
The property retains the enchanting character of its past: exposed stone walls featuring shells and fossils, ancient oak beams, cauldrons over the fireplace, and period furnishings blend with handcrafted details made from natural materials such as hemp, wood, terracotta, and wrought iron. Each room reflects the spirit of the house and the rural traditions of the region.
Casa Vallona is also a working farm producing honey, wine, grains, fruit, and aromatic herbs. Guests can begin their day with a traditional breakfast included with their stay, while the farm’s restaurant offers dishes inspired by old local recipes and seasonal ingredients. Each weekend, a menu is prepared featuring an appetizer, main course, side dish, dessert, and coffee. The establishment also hosts aperitifs, outdoor picnics, wine tastings, and special events.
Its location allows visitors to explore an area rich in small villages, castles, and abbeys, as well as places dedicated to Emilia’s culinary specialties, from Modena’s Balsamic Vinegar to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Parma ham. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy walking and trekking through the Apennine landscapes, while Bologna, with its historical heritage, vibrant cultural scene, and numerous venues, is easily accessible.
