B&B Antico Mulino

Antico Mulino di Roncorozzo B&B welcomes guests to a place where time seems to slow down, nestled among the peaceful woods and the timeless charm of a family-owned ancient mill surrounded by century-old oaks, just a few kilometers from Rocchetta Mattei. The stone walls, wooden ceilings, and original furnishings convey the authentic atmosphere of a late 19th-century Apennine residence, carefully preserved with respect for its identity. Each room tells stories of generations, rural life, ingenuity, and memories kept alive through letters, photographs, and heirlooms passed down through time.

Established in 1737, the property has maintained its character throughout the centuries. Once the vibrant heart of a small rural microcosm, complete with a two-stone mill, oven, barn, and forge, it still bears visible traces of its past, transformed into a welcoming home where simplicity and authenticity can be rediscovered. Today, it serves as a tranquil retreat, perfect for those wishing to reconnect with nature and enjoy an authentic experience.

The three rooms, each with its unique character, blend vintage charm with modern comfort. The wrought iron beds have been enhanced with slatted bases and high-quality mattresses to ensure deep and restorative rest. Each room offers an intimate and cozy atmosphere, ideal for enjoying a herbal tea, reading a book, or simply soaking in the silence.

Breakfast is a special moment, prepared with passion and rooted in Emilian traditions. Homemade sweets, fragrant cookies, and delightful aromas fill the house, marking the start of the day in a serene setting where the slow pace and the sounds of nature become integral to the experience.

During the warmer months, the garden provides perfect spots to relax in the shade of the oaks, gaze at the starry sky, or listen to the sounds of the forest. In the evening, amid the chorus of crickets and the distant call of deer, a captivating and quiet atmosphere emerges, offering genuine emotions.

The location allows for easy exploration of the Bolognese Apennines, with its stone villages, sanctuaries, trails, and breathtaking views extending to Corno alle Scale. It serves as an ideal starting point for discovering Rocchetta Mattei, the Borgo della Scola, Alvar Aalto's church, nature trails, and the region's culinary delights. At the same time, those who simply wish to unwind can choose to stay and savor the tranquility, immersed in an environment where history, nature, and hospitality harmoniously blend.

Here, hospitality carries the warmth of a lived-in home, where every detail reflects a love for traditions and a desire to share a special place capable of telling stories, evoking emotions, and preserving precious silences.
