Bologna, a city of incredible charm, is just a 30-minute drive from our hotel. The city is truly a place to explore starting with Piazza Maggiore, which is the heart of the city, famous for its Fountain of Neptune. The Torre degli Asinelli, one of the symbols of the city of Bologna, is also worth a visit. From its top it is in fact possible to enjoy a priceless view of the city. Another place worth visiting is the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, an outstanding religious symbol of the city, connected to Bologna by a 4 km long road, a continuous arcade with over 600 arches, the longest in the world.
