We loved the tranquility of this property. Outside of Bologna yet incredibly accessible. We also thought Chiara was amazing! She provided us with great food recommendations.

Nothing.

We had such a wonderful stay at this agriturismo and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Bologna area. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the perfect place to relax. The pool was fantastic and an absolute lifesaver during the 38°C summer days. Our room was lovely, comfortable, and stayed beautifully cool despite the extreme heat, making it easy to unwind after exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was the food tasting. It was an incredible experience to sample the delicious produce grown on the property—it really showcased the passion and quality that goes into everything they do. The host was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. As cat lovers, we also adored the two resident cats. They were so friendly and comforting, and they honestly made us feel a little less homesick while missing our own cats back in Australia. A truly memorable stay, and we would absolutely love to return one day.

The owners were nice very friendly and tried to be very accommodating

I read it had a restaurant, but it was closed. They did provide a basic breakfast at a reasonable price. To get to the swimming pool, you climb up a hill and the lounge chairs are basically on dirt there’s no grass so that makes it a bit dirty.

What a gorgeous serene part of the world, it was so nice to have a few days in Pianolo at the homestay to get away from the busy city hustle and bustle. We stayed in the apartment and it was very spacious with a little kitchenette which allowed us to cook our own food which was a bonus. The pool was so good in the 37 degree heat, and the airconditioning was great. Our host Claire was extrememly welcoming, helpful and gave us lots of great tips. The highlight was the tasting menu that was put on by the hosts. Absolutely delicious food and wine. Very special! Nothing was a problem for them.

I found it hard to get taxis so be careful if order one and it's time sensitive (I had an issue with my feet so had difficultly walking to bus stop) - the train/bus to Bologna is great if you're able to walk 15 mins to the bus stop. Nothing to do with the accommodation or the hosts, just something to note!
