A borgo is a small Italian village or hamlet, often situated on a hillside or hilltop.
Our Italian properties are located around our small vineyard in the tiny peaceful borgo of Villa Bonicelli,on the Dolo River in the beautiful countryside of Emilia Romagna. The properties have wonderful views of the Tuscan-Emilian Appennini mountains and the River Dolo. They can accommodate from 2 to 25 people, making them just as suitable for a couple looking to get away from it all as they are for several families or a group of friends planning to spend some quality time together.
L’Antico Palazzo are large rustic stone houses, renovated in traditional style. L’Antico Palazzo is the home of the original Conte Di Bonicelli. They are comfortable and well equipped, while at the same time retaining their original charm and quirkiness.
Casa Vigneto is a traditional, rustic stone house that is ideal for families or groups of friends. It can be rented as a stand-alone property or, for larger groups, in conjunction with one or both of our other properties
La Stalla is a recently completed barn conversion (sleeps 2-3). The barn was derelict when we bought it, so the open-plan space with mezzanine bedroom has been created from scratch.
Caccia Casetta is a separate apartment to the main L’Antico Palazzo with a main bedroom with en suite and a lower kitchen/lounge with fireplace and a balcony facing the sun as it rises up the Dolo valley
IL Rifugio is a bunk house ( sleeps 4) designed for those needing a good value yet pleasant base whilst adventuring in the area, be it via ferrata, cycling, climbing, rambling, hill walking or even skiing.
