A terraced botanical garden, sun-kissed vineyards, and hectares of rolling greenery of an expansive estate make up the beautiful backdrop of Pergola. Nestled in the hills of Bologna’s rural countryside, the stunning retreat puts northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region right onto your fingertips.

Built in a classic country-chic style, Pergola is enveloped by 4000m2 of never-ending greenery and belongs to one of the resort-village’s five properties.

Spread across three floors, the interior has a stylish and understated feel with elegant touches throughout. Guests can unwind in four bedrooms, three of which are suites and are designed with their private living room and en-suite marble bathroom for further privacy.

Outside it’s where the stay gets truly enchanting. Stone walls, wooden pillars and traditional window shutters all create a charming aesthetic, set to best be observed from the comfort of a picnic blanket spread out on the neatly manicured grass. Enjoy an al-fresco lunch prepared by a private chef under the shaded pergola, with sweeping views over the fields below or work on your tan while relaxing on the decked patio. With comfortable sun loungers and two outdoor hot tubs, there are plenty of opportunities for unwinding after a long day.

After a delicious dinner, head to the local bar for an Italian digestivo and live music. Also on the estate is a spa offering a plethora of cutting-edge treatments such as the Hammam Ritual and hydrosound pool as well as a relaxation area designed with a specialty herbal tea corner.
