- Opulent rural abode: Nestled in the rolling hills of the Bologna countryside, Palazzo di Varignana Resort & Spa is the ultimate luxe country retreat. Centred around a spectacular 18th-century castle surrounded by 30 hectares of scenic parklands, the property oozes old-world Italian charm, while boutique interiors and a sleek modern finish add a touch of contemporary luxury.
- Sumptuous spa moments: Set over 2,500 square metres, the sprawling Varsana Spa is an immersive relaxation experience, with an extensive list of high-end massages and treatments plus a selection of experience showers, state-of-the-art saunas and hydrotherapy. And with a salt-water pool, artificial salt quarry, and five outdoor hydromassage pools at your disposal in the summer, you really can’t go wrong.
- Refined Italian fare: Fabulous restaurants await you here, from sophisticated fine-dining at Il Grifone to the opulent Treno Reale, set in an original 1920s train carriage. For something a little more casual, tuck into cosy home-style cuisine at Trattoria Le Marzoline and enjoy panoramic views at Aurevo, or perhaps sample elevated health-focused dining at Gingko. Wherever you go, menus are an ode to local ingredients and the region's culinary heritage, while two stylish bars offer an eclectic mix of drinks.
How to get there
Bologna airport is just over half an hour's drive away, whilst Bologna Fiera is reachable in approximately 25 minutes.
Good to know
Access to the spa and swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) is only available by prior reservation, which must be made by contacting the hotel directly at varsanaspa@palazzodivarignana.com. Please note that the outdoor pools are only open during the summer season. In winter there is a dedicated pool for children.
Please be aware that children aged 16 and below cannot access the traditional path at Varsana SPA and require parental supervision throughout the spa.
