Agriturismo Parco della Chiusa

The Agriturismo Parco della Chiusa is located in the heart of the park of the same name in Casalecchio di Reno, at Casa Santa Margherita, a traditional Bolognese courtyard surrounded by lavender and cultivated fields. Accessible only on foot or by bicycle, it offers a genuinely tranquil atmosphere just a short distance from the city while being immersed in a highly evocative natural setting.

Its location is perfect for those exploring the paths of the Apennines and the cycling routes that cross Bologna, such as the Via degli Dei, the Via della Lana e della Seta, the Via Francesca della Sambuca, and the Ciclovia del Sole. The park's main entrance is a short distance from public transport and train stations, making it convenient and easily accessible for those traveling without a car.

The agriturismo features four rooms, each distinct and inspired by the flowers of the park. The furnishings, crafted in a social carpentry workshop using fine woods and recycled materials, make each space unique and inviting. Two of the rooms are equipped to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges.

The agritourism restaurant, open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, as well as for lunch on Sundays, offers traditional Bolognese dishes made with fresh, organic ingredients. Tigelle, fresh pasta, and garden produce are the result of the daily efforts of the social cooperative COpAPS, which has been dedicated to including individuals with disabilities and vulnerabilities since 1979. This same philosophy is reflected in the decor, agricultural products, and activities that enhance the guests' experience.

The establishment is also a recognized Educational Farm by the Emilia-Romagna Region and organizes workshops on beekeeping, biodiversity, aromatic plants, and the park's animals, collaborating with schools and scientific projects. Those wishing to experience the area sustainably can opt for environmental education programs or enjoy a picnic in the park's meadows, savoring simple and wholesome dishes.

Staying at Parco della Chiusa means embracing nature at a slow pace, inhaling the scents of lavender, and discovering the most authentic side of the Bolognese countryside, in a place that combines hospitality, inclusion, and respect for the environment.
