Palazzo di Varignana BOLOGNA, ITALY
The 18th-century Palazzo di Varignana is situated at the top of the rolling hills in the historic village of Varignana, with Bologna and the Adriatic coast just on the horizon. It’s a picturesque, 30-minute drive from the enchanting city of Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, which is home to the UNESCO World Heritage site The Porticoes of Bologna. The Palazzo is set in a 75-acre estate enveloped
by botanical landscaped gardens, farmland, vineyards and olive trees. The 150 spacious rooms and suites offer something for everyone. Those looking for exclusive privacy can now stay in one of the six new villas; ranging from four to six rooms they are perfect for families, friends and larger groups celebrating milestone occasions. Activities and experiences can be shared
in one of the many swimming pools, terraces, tennis, padel and squash courts, while the 18- hole Le Fonti golf course is only 10km away. The impressive 43,000sq ft Varsana SPA, directed by Jennifer Theiss, has its own wellness-themed Vital Suites which are often chosen by those visiting
the resort just for the spa. The property boosts its wellness offering with new health activities focused on detoxifying, boosting immunity and counteracting oxidative stress through a variety of medical and aesthetic personalised treatments overseen by Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva. The sprawling wellness facilities include a
traditional ‘wet path’ featuring two new areas for halotherapy and mudding, inspired by the surroundings. The Ars Vivendi private spa area, featuring a Moroccan hammam and a Japanese onsen, complete the SPA offer. The wellness trails on site allow guests to explore the estate by bike or foot. Guides are on hand for Nordic walking, where guests can discover breathtaking views. The farm was founded in 2015 and since then
the property has cultivated olives and grapes. The high-quality produce has led to homemade products sold in the shop as well as a farm-to-table concept in all three restaurants, with a fourth restaurant, hosted in a spectacular reproduction of a 1921 royal train carriage, open following a full refurbishment. The resort is open all year round.
