Providing a truly authentic italian experience, the spacious and gorgeously decorated Villa Belvedere is magnificently set in a unique corner of the ancient village of Bertinoro, with breathtaking views of the peaceful and pictoresque Romagna hills, sea and coastline.
Infinity pool heated upon request, hot tub, sauna, steambath, professional gym; cinema room, billiard, bar corner with wine cellar, fully furnished and carefully designed and maintaned garden with barbecue and outdoor games.
Magnificently nestled into a private park of 11.000 square meters, the villa is perfectly located on the main road of the ancient village of Bertinoro, at only 7 minutes drive from the highway exit of Cesena Nord. The village itself is an historic jewel, preserving its ancient structure of cobbled street and glimpses of other times, and even mentioned in the Divine Comedy by “the great poet” Dante Alighieri, who stopped off in Bertinoro when hosted by the lord of Ravenna, Guido Da Polenta. Bertinoro symbolizes the true italian hospitality since ancient times, with its fulcrum still being the Column of Hospitality in the main square, home to the important Hospitality Festival every year in September, during which the houses of the people of Bertinoro open up to guests to offer them the traditional Romagna lunch of a feast day. Featuring a great italian gastronomic culture, in the village you’ll find exquisite dishes in several small restaurants hidden in the heart of the center, among the Tower, the Cathedral, and the thousand-year-old Fortress - beautifully restored and home to the University Residential Centre. Bertinoro is also a wine town, with its thousand hectares of vineyards counting more than 30 superb wineries, famous for their Sangiovese, Albana, Cagnina and Pagadebit and offering fabolous wine tastings accompanied by the gastronomic specialties of the Romagna tradition, first and foremost the fragrant piadina and delicious squacquerone. You will also taste one of the best italian Gelato (ice cream) and the famous Cappelletti al Ragù (home made pasta filled with cheese and served in a wonderful meat sauce) meeting friendly people in a lovely environment, well known also for its spectacular bike and hike tracks and thermal center.
Arriving at the villa you’ll find an oasis of peace, privacy, elegance, nature, and comfort, ideal for an unforgettable family retreat as well as for the memorable celebration of any special occasion, such as a wedding or a birthday, but also as the unique setting for a business partners’ meeting, a shooting set for an advertising campaign or a movie.
