La Piana dei Castagni offers friendly, relaxing holiday accommodation on a peaceful hill in the woods south of Bologna, Emilia Romagna.

You'll receive a splendid welcome from the bubbly Valeria, who will help you make the most of your holiday in Italy, and you'll have the opportunity to unwind in an unspoilt rustic setting.

Nearby diversions include the mediaeval town of Rocca di Roffeno with its splendid forteenth century towers, Roman remains and restaurants. The town has historical links to the 10th century warrior-noblewoman Matilde di Canossa and more recent ties to Giorgio Morandi, one of Italy's most important 20th century painters.

Rocca di Roffeno should be able to cater to most of your holiday needs and has playgrounds for children.
