We were really touched by the warmth and hospitality of host Chiara in her ancient family home in which we felt so welcome and which Chiara shared generously with us. Casa Vallona is a less than 1 hour drive from Bologna in the midst of the Bologna Hills. It is in an idyllic setting and the farmhouse is set close to the vineyards and bee hives that Chiara and her family cultivate, along with several other crops. Inside, the living areas are a reflection of centuries of family life, remembered and celebrated by photos, furniture, household and farm utensils that encapsulate the spirit and the richness of the lives lived there by many generations. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch prepared by Chiara with produce grown on her land that included delicious pancakes made with chick pea flour, home made tortellini with ricotta and spinach, accompanied by her own red wine made with local grape varieties, and a mouthwatering pistachio semifreddo. Breakfast was a revelation: homemade bread with flour milled from locally grown wheat, cherry and plum compotes, Italian fruit torte, butter cake and an wide selection of little biscuits, all home made, were generously offered, washed down by locally made grape juice and of course, very strong coffee. We marvelled at how it was possible to run a farm, a guesthouse and do all this baking! Chiara's recommendations for what to see and eat locally were wonderful and much appreciated. It was a pleasure not to hear any cars or traffic and sleep peacefully. There are many walks in the area which we sadly could not do because of inclement weather but will keep for next time. When the sun did come out on our last morning, the views across the hills were glorious. Our thanks to Chiara and her kind family for hosting us and being so accommodating and inclusive in every way. Thank you too for welcoming us with such a sumptuous meal, so that we could avoid the rain. It was a privilege to experience something so authentic.

Everything is made with love and quality. Amasing stay, would have loved to stay longer.

The host was extraordinalily helpful. He gave me numerous suggestions for visiting the city and especially for restaurants. I was very impressed at the exceptional effort he put into making sure that I was comfortable and happy.

Very nice hotel with perfect restaurant and service

Amazing place. Very well furnished. And a great host!

The communication was excellent. We were going to arrive in Bologna before check-in so I asked if we could park our car at the apartment and go into Bologna. It was no problem with the owners The car parking is secure, behind locked gates. There were plenty of clean towels, the spacious apartment easily accommodated the four of us and the air conditioning really helped keep us nice and cool. The apartment was fantastic, clean and had everything we needed. They had even left a large bottle of water for us, very thoughtful. The kitchen is fully equipped should you need it. The beds were very comfortable, a good night sleep with no disturbances. As we arrived a little early we bumped into the cleaner who was very polite and helpful, she was lovely. The location is great, just next to the station. Walking to the centre takes about 20 mins. If you have little ones you can catch bus number 21 at the central station, kids go free and it's less than £2 per adult. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

I wrote a detailed review already. It was great!
