A taste of country living at La Pacifica
We really enjoyed our stay in the villa, especially being in the countryside, up winding country lanes. It was delightful to sit outside in the early autumn evenings, looking out over the view. There are other villas close by, so we did not feel isolated, but we were private. All amenities were provided and we were comfortable. Good hot water! We used the town of Sasso Marconi for our food and supplies, which worked well. Sylvia is a most attentive and responsive host.

Time of our lives
We couldn't have been happier with this booking. Sylvia was an amazing host who gave us wonderful tips on parking in Bologna and the house was more amazing than the pictures. The scenic views and peacefulness of the house are something that needs to be seen and experienced in person. We had the best time and were sad to leave. Definitely recommending this to anyone we know who may visit Bologna one day. Thank you, Sylvia and Giovanni.

Beautiful and well-appointed villa
The Villa was just as the pictures and description indicate. Such a beautiful setting and well-appointed villa. Quiet and efficient air conditioning on both floors was such a plus. As Americans, we also loved that there were screens on the windows! Silvia was a gracious and generous host. She helped us find our way around closed roads, surprised us with a bottle of Lambrusco and waters, and even helped me pay my toll bill. We traveled all over Emilia Romagna and felt at home every night upon our return. We definitely and highly recommend this lovely villa!

Perfect location for exploring.
We were looking for a central location where we could day trip from and it was perfect for that. Easy access to Bologna Centrale train station. It was a nice quiet place to come back to at night after busy days in big cities. Silvia and Giovanni were very helpful and kind. The house had everything we needed.

Wonderful Stay with Even More Wonderful Views
My wife and I and another couple stayed 4 nights in this fantastic home, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views are fantastic, especially from the family room and the primary bedroom, where it looks like you're almost living outside. The living room is furnished with 2 awesome oversized couches which are incredibly comfortable. There were many thoughtful touches throughout, and the extensive documentation about how to use the various appliances and other equipment, as well as details of nearby areas, were incredibly helpful. And while it is in a mountainous rural location, it was only 10-20 minutes to a good number of excellent restaurants, and an easy 20 minutes to Bologna. Communication with Sylvia was easy and she always responded quickly. And she was extremely understanding and helpful. We accidentally broke a glass shelf in the refrigerator and felt terribly about it, but Sylvia said not to worry about it and simply went about ordering a replacement (which we of course paid for). She also went above and beyond when our rental car broke down and we were stranded, she offered to have a family member come pick us up (we ended up finally being able to get an Uber, but really appreciated her willingness to help). If we're ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay in Sylvia's place again.

I stayed here to quarantine for two weeks and it was a comfortable, clean and beautiful home to spend an extended stay in. The host Silvia was incredible. She went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure I felt welcome and assisted me with any questions I had. She is a super host! I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Bologna.

What a wonderful house!
We stayed at this house for a week while we were visiting Bologna. It is gorgeous! The views from this property are amazing. You need a car to get here, and if you have trouble with stairs someplace else would be better, but we highly recommend this house if you’re visiting the area. The house was well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is nice, the two bathrooms are beautiful (especially the tile in the blue bathroom), and the view from the bedroom can’t be beat. It’s a quick trip in to Bologna. The roads up are somewhat narrow and very winding...we didn’t want to drive them at night, but cooking at home was not a problem. Overall, we had a great week here and would definitely return!

Beautiful Place with a Wonderful view!
The house is modern and well furnished with a beautiful view both from the living room and master bed! The host were perfect. We arrived and everything was ready with a welcome bottle of Prosecco and some of those wonderful Italian little snacks. Don't be daunted by the drive up. It is well worth it. We were there in March and although the weather was not like summer, it was better than home (Germany). We would stay here again when we need to come to Bologna. You must have a car, as there is nothing close by within walking distance. This was exactly what we wanted. We have nothing negative about our stay. It was really perfect for us (two couples).

Nice Property
We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed meeting Sylvia. The property is as listed and very nicely appointed and comfortable. The beds were great and the shower was hot! My only issue would be the driveway to the house. You can't drive down to the house without a four-wheel drive car so taking luggage up and down the steep driveway was a challenge. Also, there is a parking area just above the house but turning around in the small driveway is very tight. We parked outside the gate by the road which wasn't an issue except walking up and down the steep hill. On a positive note, the views from the house were beautiful and the house was very comfortable to come "home" to after a day of sightseeing. I enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. Sylvia was a great host and I will definitely stay here during my next visit to the Bologna area.

Merveilleux accueil, maison bien située très confortable, vue sublime, belles attentions offertes.
Nous avons pu profiter d'un emplacement idéal pour visiter Bologne et Ravenne où on mange si bien partout. Au retour de nos visites, la maison loin du bruit et dans un cadre paisible mois attendait. La literie est particulièrement douillette. Notre gentille hôte nous attendait avec de petites douceurs et plein de bonnes recommandations de restaurants pour rendre ce séjour inoubliable. Je recommande cette belle maison sur son promontoire naturel à tous. Nous y retournerions s'il nous était donné de visiter à nouveau le nord de l'Italie. Merci de tout coeur.

Escape to the country
From the description and the photographs this was our first choice for a place to stay as a base to explore Bologna and nearby towns. It was an excellent choice. Fine views of the hills and a very well equipped and well looked-after property. Wildlife (including birds and deer) to watch from the windows or the gardens. Silvia welcomed us warmly on arrival and gave us some helpful suggestions when we told her of our planned visits. 20 minutes drive into town for local drivers - 25 minutes for us! Highly recommended.

Idyllic retreat in the Bologna hills
This is a stunning villa that sits on a hill 20 minutes south of Bologna, with amazing vistas as far as the eyes can see. It is beautiful, private, charming, and quiet. From the outside, you might think that the house is old. But the interior is replete with modern conveniences including two stylish bathrooms, a/c, wifi, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, enormous windows, and retractable screens and awnings. The bedrooms are comfortable and the decor is eclectic-chic. The house is immaculate. The gardens are lovely and the patio is furnished and welcoming. The gracious owner, Silvia, gives a great orientation to her lovely home and has assembled a comprehensive guide to the house's appliances, local restaurants and groceries, and other essential information. We have rented villas in many places throughout Italy, and this ranks as one of the very best. We have loved our nine-day stay here and encourage you to treat yourself to this countryside retreat.
