The Neighborhood:
The villa is located in Zola Predosa, a charming area nestled among rolling hills and vineyards just outside Bologna. Known for its fine wines, olive groves, and Emilian culinary traditions, this region offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and gastronomy. Guests can easily explore nearby wineries and traditional trattorias, where local products and authentic flavors take center stage.
The surroundings are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and scenic walks through the countryside, yet the location remains close to the city — only a short drive from Bologna’s historic center and main attractions. Zola Predosa embodies the quiet elegance of the Emilian countryside while offering all the comforts of proximity to urban life.
Getting Around:
A car is highly recommended to fully enjoy the beauty and freedom of the surrounding area. Corte dello Zanchino is located in Zola Predosa, a quiet and scenic area just a few minutes from Bologna, perfectly positioned for exploring the hills of Emilia-Romagna and its rich food and wine culture. Within a short drive, guests can reach some of the region’s best wineries, traditional trattorias, and charming medieval villages such as Monte San Pietro, Bazzano, and Monteveglio, known for their castles, vineyards, and panoramic views.
The villa is also conveniently connected to the main roads: Bologna city center is about 20 minutes away, while the Guglielmo Marconi Airport can be reached in less than 25 minutes by car. The Bologna Centrale train station, one of Italy’s main hubs, offers fast connections to Florence, Milan, Venice, and Rome.
Public transportation is available from Zola Predosa, including buses and a suburban train line that links directly to Bologna, but schedules are limited — for greater flexibility, a car is the best option. Private transfers or taxis can be arranged upon request for airport pickups or local excursions.
