05/04/2024: We discovered this Agriturismo (farm hotel) randomly on our road trip through Italy and it was true serendipity. Il Borghetto is run by an overwhelmingly kind and generous family who make you feel at home. Located inside a beautifully renovated farmhouse, the accommodation sits among serene orchards and fields and is quite the peaceful getaway. The restaurant serves excellent dishes typical of the Emilia region, homemade and memorable. Make sure to try the famous local Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine. The rooms are rustic with floral motifs and art, clean and comfortable, and the breakfast includes homemade cakes, pastries and a great cappuccino. A wonderful place for families (there’s also a pool in the summer). We hope that we can go back some day.
20/03/2024: On our way to the mountains, we made a stop along the way, near Bologna, to break up the journey. Completely by chance we were lucky enough to come across Mohamed's "Il borghetto" farmhouse.
We called while we were traveling and he confirmed that we could stay there for the night. As soon as we arrived we were hungry from the long journey and, although the restaurant was not open, Mohamed cooked for us and our 1 and a half year old baby, meeting our needs. We enjoyed everything very much, but above all our little one loved the Bolognese tortellini both with meat sauce and broth, the Bolognese cutlet and the grilled courgettes!
The room was large and spotless, the welcoming environment and the location of the farmhouse nestled in the plain on the outskirts of Bologna made our sleep truly relaxing, in the morning we couldn't hear any noise.
We want to underline how much Mohamed's passion can be felt in the air and above all in the tastes of his food. The breakfast was excellent with homemade desserts made by him.
We were also lucky enough to meet his daughter. In short, a place that makes you feel at home.
There are many plans for this beautiful farmhouse surrounded by greenery, with a swimming pool that can be used in summer (unfortunately we visited it in winter). The intention is to return to be able to spend some days in total relaxation!
Thanks again for everything and good luck with all your projects!
