B&B Il Cavicchio

Just a few minutes from the center of Bologna, nestled among the gentle, rolling hills of the Bolognese countryside, lies Il Cavicchio, a charming agriturismo where nature, tranquility, and beauty come together to offer an authentic hospitality experience. Surrounded by a landscape of vineyards, clay ravines, woods, and fields cultivated using organic methods, this location is designed for those looking to escape the hectic pace of life and reconnect with harmony, slowness, and what truly matters.

The establishment features five rooms and two apartments, each thoughtfully decorated with personal style and natural materials, showcasing oak wood floors, artwork, books, and details that tell stories. Every space is equipped with modern comforts: private bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, television, adjustable heating and ventilation, and, in some units, air conditioning and a kitchenette. The eco-friendly wooden apartments provide spacious, bright areas ideal for those seeking more independence without sacrificing the tranquility of the countryside.

The heart of the hospitality experience is breakfast, served in the fireplace room during colder months or on the veranda under the wisteria in spring and summer. The abundant sweet and savory buffet includes homemade jams, cakes, naturally leavened bread, organic eggs, selected cheeses and cured meats, fresh fruit, and yogurt. All items are sourced from local producers or directly from the farm, honoring seasonal availability and quality. It is a moment of sharing and relaxation, where all guests gather at the same table, creating spontaneous opportunities for connection.

Outside, a charming pool surrounded by flowers and lawns invites relaxation during the warmer months. The water is sanitized using a gentle salt system, kind to the skin and eyes, providing a refreshing swim in perfect harmony with the environment. The garden features shaded corners for reading, resting, or simply watching the landscape shift with the hours and the seasons.

Il Cavicchio serves as an ideal starting point for hiking or biking excursions. Numerous trails wind through woods, vineyards, and hills, leading to areas of significant natural and historical interest, such as the Sabbiuno monument, the Gessi Park, or the Via degli Dei. The agriturismo is well-equipped to welcome trekking and cycling enthusiasts, offering bike rentals, maps, secure garages, and partnerships with support centers. Nearby, guests can also enjoy horseback riding, golf, tennis, archery, and many other sports activities.

Sustainability is a core value of the establishment. Il Cavicchio is certified by Legambiente: the energy used comes exclusively from renewable sources, the building is constructed with natural, highly insulating materials, and all products from the farm, from vegetables to herbs and wine, are grown according to organic farming principles. Notable among the offerings are the artisanal jams and the fruity, natural Sangiovese wine, perfect for savoring by the pool or in the garden, perhaps after a long hike.

Every detail reflects the care and passion of those who have chosen to live in harmony with nature and share it with visitors. Here, hospitality is genuine, characterized by sincere smiles, heartfelt advice, and respect for each guest’s time and space. Il Cavicchio is not just a place to stay but a memorable experience where time seems to regain its natural rhythm, and every moment embodies the essence of true simplicity.
