We stayed here for two weeks June/July 2016. We loved it. We'd definitely recommend it and would go again. The apartment's in a rustic property (a former convent, then a farmhouse) that has been in the family since just after WW2. It's in a beautiful, historic (it has a war memorial) hillside location with a perfect, huge view across the plain. The apartment has a good feel to it and is spacious, simply but well appointed, comfortable and practical. There's plenty of storage, a good sized fridge, plenty of crockery and utensils, and everything worked. While there's no aircon, it has high ceilings, large windows and fans - we were there in a heatwave but it was no problem. There's plenty of outside space (teeming with wildlife - deer, hares, birds of prey, hoopoes) and a lovely, secluded pool. Domenico and his family have excellent language skills and really made us feel welcome. So helpful, always smiling and with little touches to show they care. They have excellent local knowledge (they live in nearby Bologna and use the property as their summer holiday home) and are keen to offer information about places to go. They gave us maps of walks around the area, and there was lots of information in the apartment. Needless to say, the area's fantastic and almost overburdened with things to see and do. Bologna's superb. Ravenna and Ferrara are smaller and beautiful. Venice is an easy day trip (by car or rail). Modena and Maranello give you their Ferrari fix. San Marino and the coast are in easy reach. The Po river at sunset is very beautiful. Dozza is a gorgeous village painted by artists. Brisighella is a characterful medieval hillside town. The driving and walking in the hills are glorious, and there's beautifully prepared food all over the place. We wouldn't hesitate to go there again - to the area and to this apartment. We had no disappointments at all, only great experiences and we loved staying at the apartment.
