The elevated position of the farm offers the opportunity to enjoy the splendid surrounding countryside on foot. The itinerary we recommend is a route in a fascinating panorama where you can take photos or enjoy a picnic in the open countryside.

There are many delightful spots which can be easily reached on foot or by bike. You could also walk the Wool and Silk Way, an ancient route which passes through villages, valleys and hills linking Bologna and Prato.

We recommend trips to places with a magical atmosphere in the Bolognese Apennines, for example to the famous Mattei Rock ( La Rochetta Mattei, www.rocchetta-mattei.it ) a unique complex of breath-taking architecture, or the Comelli Palace (Il Palazzo Comelli, www.bolognawelcome.com/en/home/discover/places/architecture-and-monuments/historical-buildings-and-streets/palazzo-comelli ) built during one of the most important architectural and cultural periods in the life of the Reno valley. Within easy reach is the Sanctuary of “Bocca di Rio” dedicated to the Virgin Mary which is the second most important sanctuary in the Bolognese diocese after the Madonna di San Luca of Bologna ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBBKH7aItXo)
The natural reserve of the “Parco dei Laghi” is also well worth a visit ( http://www.appenninoeverde.it/en/natura/parchi-naturali/parco-dei-laghi.html) as is La Scola, an original medieval village dating from the fifteenth century and offering a wonderful example of the medieval architecture of the Bolognese Apennines.
