Antico Podere San Luca is a charming retreat located on the hills surrounding Bologna, perfect for those who want to enjoy the greenery while still being able to quickly access the historic center. The property is situated on Via di Monte Albano, just a few minutes from the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca. It is also strategically positioned for the fairgrounds, universities, hospitals, and industrial areas, as well as for easy access to the A1-A14 highways. The surroundings are peaceful and scenic, with views of the woods and nature that envelop the city from the windows and outdoor spaces.

The interiors have been transformed from historical buildings dating back to the 16th to 19th centuries, which once housed the owner’s family and farm workers. Today, the main villa and the old agricultural buildings have been carefully restored, preserving authentic features like the original volumes and hints of rural architecture, and converted into B&B rooms and independent residences for short stays. The bright and cozy rooms cater to couples and families: the Comfort rooms include a double bed, private bathroom with shower, wardrobe, and TV, while the Deluxe rooms add a comfortable sofa bed, making them suitable for up to four guests.

For those seeking more independence, residences with kitchenettes are available, ideal for stays of at least two nights. The apartments combine convenience with a charming atmosphere, featuring well-organized spaces that include a sleeping area, living room with sofa bed, and a fully equipped kitchen, all while retaining the building's agricultural charm. All accommodations provide modern comforts such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and heating, with the option to add breakfast even when choosing the residence format.

One of the highlights is the convenience of parking: ample, free, and close to the accommodations, a valuable benefit for those traveling by car or motorcycle. Visiting Bologna is simple, with convenient parking areas near Via Saragozza, from which the city center can be reached quickly on foot or by bus. While there is a bus stop nearby, service is less frequent, making the car the most practical option, especially for those who wish to alternate city life with the tranquility of the hills.

Hospitality is personally managed by Anna, who lives here with her family and warmly welcomes guests, sharing the beauty of this special place with discretion and kindness. Waking up is one of the most enjoyable moments of the stay, with a buffet breakfast served in the large common room and, during mild seasons, in the cool, shaded garden filled with ancient trees—a perfect way to start the day surrounded by nature, tranquility, and the scent of the hills, just minutes from authentic Bologna.
Rooms and Rates
Breakfast at Antico Podere San Luca is designed to provide a slow and pleasant awakening in a serene atmosphere that reflects the nature of the Bolognese hills. It is served buffet-style in the common areas, in a spacious and inviting room on the ground floor, where it’s easy to start the day at a leisurely pace, surrounded by enticing aromas and the pleasure of a well-maintained environment.

During the milder season, breakfast moves outdoors and becomes even more special: guests can enjoy it in the garden, in the fresh air and shade of ancient trees, with the tranquility around them and the clean hilltop air. It’s a simple yet valuable moment, perfect for recharging before venturing out to explore the historic center, the porticoes of Via Saragozza, and the paths leading to San Luca.

Area Collina

The Ancient Podere San Luca is situated in one of the most charming and authentic areas of Bologna: the Saragozza district, where the city's pace begins to shift and gradually gives way to the greenery of the surrounding hills. This neighborhood is ideal for those seeking tranquility and fresh air, while still having easy access to the historic center just a few minutes away. Here, Bologna reveals its most elegant and livable side, characterized by tree-lined streets, unexpected views, and a serene daily life, away from the busiest traffic.

The true emblem of the area is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca, one of the favorite destinations for locals and a landmark for those wishing to explore the city from a privileged vantage point. To reach it, one must traverse a unique landscape: the long portico that begins on Via Saragozza and climbs up to Colle della Guardia, a suggestive route that is an experience in itself. Walking beneath the arches, amidst green glimpses and occasional silences, offers a special connection with the more intimate and poetic side of Bologna, culminating at the panoramic terrace of the sanctuary, where one can gaze over the city and the surrounding plain.

Surrounding the area, the Bolognese hills are a continuous delight, often less known to visitors compared to the monuments in the center, yet equally rich in charm. This territory is comprised of woodland paths, scenic routes, ancient hermitages, and small oases where one can breathe in nature. From here, popular trails for walking or cycling begin, leading to green areas and viewpoints, with connections to longer and famous routes like the Via degli Dei, which ideally links Bologna and Florence through hilly landscapes and Apennine sections.

The Saragozza district is also one of the most complete in terms of services and local life. Between the inner part, close to the historic gates, and the area extending outside the city walls, one can find shops, cafes, restaurants, and trattorias where one can savor Bolognese cuisine in a more authentic and less touristy setting. This area is perfectly suited for both leisure stays and work-related visits, as it combines convenience with quality of life: it’s easy to reach the center, yet one can return in the evening to a peaceful and rejuvenating environment.

From this location, it’s easy to alternate days in the city with moments spent outdoors. The historic center, with its iconic squares, towers, museums, and porticos, is nearby and can be accessed quickly, but having the hills as a base means experiencing Bologna in a more balanced way, with spaciousness, light, tranquility, and a sense of well-being that makes any stay more enjoyable throughout the year.
