The Palazzo di Varignana Resort & SPA is an exclusive luxury hotel located in the heart of the Emilia countryside, a short distance from Bologna. The resort spans a vast 30-hectare estate including olive groves and vineyards, guaranteeing a high-quality, serene, and nature-connected stay. The property combines a restored historic villa with modern residential complexes, offering a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary design.
The Varsana SPA wellness center covers 3700 sqm and is a benchmark for relaxation and regeneration. The traditional path includes a sauna, Turkish bath, hot tub, emotional showers, and relaxation areas. The swimming area is exceptional, with 7 outdoor pools (open seasonally) overlooking the hills, including the iconic Crystal Pool with fresh and salt water and hydromassage features. A large heated Indoor Pool is also available. The SPA also offers a "Ars Vivendi" Private Spa for exclusive rituals and a wide range of personalized treatments.
The accommodations at Palazzo di Varignana, including Deluxe Rooms and Suites, are designed to offer maximum comfort and privacy. Many rooms feature a private balcony or patio with breathtaking views of the hilly landscape. The luxurious Vital Suites and Suites with Hot Tub offer larger spaces and additional comforts, such as private in-room spas in some accommodations. All guests benefit from Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a complete set of complimentary toiletries.
The gastronomic offer is managed through five distinct restaurants and bars, which propose different culinary concepts, all focused on enhancing local products and the estate's own production (EVO oil and wine). Highlights include the Ginkgo Gourmet Restaurant (potentiating cuisine for wellness) and the Trattoria Le Marzoline, which offers traditional Emilian dishes. The complimentary Continental Breakfast Buffet is rich in fresh and zero-kilometer products.
The resort offers a wide range of services, including Free Parking, electric vehicle charging stations, free bike rental, and access to tennis and paddle courts. The property is ideal for events and conferences, with a dedicated congress center. Palazzo di Varignana allows pets upon request with a possible surcharge, but note that animal access is generally restricted to rooms (with size restrictions) and not permitted in pool areas and most indoor restaurants, with the exception of Trattoria Le Marzoline.
