Torre Fantini, Emilia Romagna - Italian Villa Vacations

Torre Fantini is and elegant Bed and Breakfast located on the border between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany. It sleeps up to ten people in five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. It has a private garden with many areas to relax under the shade, and a new swimming pool overlooking the beautiful valley. Located only a few minute’s walk away from the village of Tredozio, Torre Fantini offers a strategic location to explore central Italy’s regions such as Emilia Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria.
Located near the south eastern corner of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, Torre Fantini claims a hilltop position amid the rolling green landscape bordering the Foresti Casentinesi a national park extending southward into Tuscany. In fact, this property was at one time part of Tuscany! Torre Fantini is an old farm tower belonging to the family of the same name.
This family still lives in the Palazzo Fantini located only 1km away from the Torre. The magical garden surrounding the Palazzo, a 17th century residence, belongs to the association of Grandi Giardini Italiani and is open to the public for tours, for courtyard concerts during the summer, and for weddings. The village of Tredozio is deliciously quiet, yet harbours a number of inviting restaurants-particularly the Mulino di San Michele (in an old mill). Within a ten minute walk from the Torre you one can reach the centre of the village where you will find a grocery shop, a baker, a few bars and a bus station.

 
Torre Fantini offers a stay in a delightful farmhouse remodelled in the traditional style with terrace views over a lovely stretch of countryside. Each of the four double bedrooms are attractively furnished in a refined rustic style, with beamed ceilings and cotto toscan floors. The rooms are provided with a satellite TV and refrigerator and a bathroom with a shower accommodates each bedroom. There is also a brand new suite located on the ground floor with one double bedroom, a living room and a small kitchen. Guests are served a fresh breakfast each morning in Fantini's communal dining room. (Other meals are taken in local restaurants or picnic-style.) Torre Fantini is centrally heated; laundry service is available. Three hundred meters from the residence one finds a public tennis court. From May to September the swimming pool is open. WIFI Internet connection is available.

THE AREA
Benefiting from a long history of prosperity, Emilia-Romagna is imbued with the spirit of fine living and boasts many exceptional Renaissance palaces and a particularly rich culinary heritage (lasagne, tortellini, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar are just a few of many delicious regional innovations). A number of enjoyable excursions are easily undertaken from Torre Fantini. Faenza, with its world-famous ceramics museum and production house, is about 30 km away, and the splendid medieval fortress at Brisighella-focus of an annual medieval festival-is half as far. A drive of 50 km toward the Adriatic finds one in Ravenna, in the presence of the world's finest Byzantine mosaics outside of Istanbul, and from here it's just minutes to the wonderful resorts of the coast. The distinguished city of Bologna, 75 km northwest of Fantini, offers a delightful urban experience and, remarkably, the Tuscan capital of Florence is almost as close.
