Beautiful scene
It was a wonderfully restful stay. However, we did several day trips and it was somewhat isolated from the major cities.

Hillside villa with amazing views
A very relaxing holiday for everyone. Great swimming pool was lots of fun. The two houses worked very well for our family of ten. Plenty of bathroom space. The weekly market was brilliant. A few nice restaurants for a lovely night out. All in all wonderful.

Great family break in stunning, peaceful location
Had a fantastic time in hills outside Bologna. Stunning views and very peaceful location with wild grounds to explore. Large practical accomodation with everything you need, but spent most of the time outside. Up steep but quiet lane from vergato, 25min walk to town but kids (5-9yrs) had no problem up or down. Pool not heated but temperature fine for kids and adults at end of May. Had an amazing time.

An amazing gem in the hills of Emilio-Romagna!
My friends and I had an amazing stay at Casa Ruspiano. The house is well appointed and secluded...just what us city folk were seeking. Atop our own little mountain the Casa welcomes you with incredible views, a shimmering pool, and lots of outdoor areas to relax and enjoy. We explored the area from Bologna and Modena to the north to Pistoia to the south. Sandra was incredibly responsive and helped to connect us with locals to create a perfect experience. Chef Angela prepared us an incredible feast on our final evening and it is a moment we won’t soon forget. Come to reset and leave enriched! I hope to be back!

Vi havde den mest perfekte familieferie. 3 generationer. Alt var perfekt for os. Stedet var hyggeligt og med den mest fantastiske udsigt. Poolen var perfekt til både store og små.

Fantastisk, roligt beliggende og skønt feriested
Vi var 7 voksne og 5 børn i alderen 0-9 år, der havde en skøn uge i de to huse, der har alle faciliteter, man kan ønske sig incl en meget velfungerende pool til små og store. Husene ligger med en enestående udsigt over dale og bjerge ca 3 km fra Vergato med 2 supermarkeder. Eneste anke er dårlig skiltning til huset første gang, man ankommer - især hvis det er mørkt.
