“A sprawling resort and spa located in pristine countryside just outside of Bologna. Spacious rooms are simply styled with floor to ceiling windows, indulgent bathrooms and crisp white linen. A spoiling spa is the real draw with top of the range facilities and a Japanese Onsen. ”

Palazzo di Varignana Resort & Spa

This large resort close to Bologna is perhaps not the best option for those seeking an intimate spot but the brilliant spa offering – especially the Japanese onsen experience – is unexpected. There are six pools on the property, various dining options and spacious rooms.
