Hotel Castello, Castel San Pietro Terme

This four-star hotel near Bologna is the perfect base from which to explore the fascinating north Italian city. And how much there is to see and enjoy. Known affectionately as the 'Bologna The Red' (Bologna la rossa) both for its political history and its architecture, Bologna's attractive cityscape of ancient red brick buildings topped with distinctive terracotta-tiled roofs look at their best at sunset. Its inhabitants are renowned for their great love of food, and some of Italy's most renowned dishes originate from the city and Bologna's home region of Emilia-Romagna. It was also voted European City of Culture back in 2000, and the streets in the historic city centre here are lined with glorious churches and seemingly endless porticoes. The Hotel Castello is peacefully situated in the attractive spa town of Castel San Pietro Terme. This location is ideally suited to the needs of business travellers needing easy access to Bologna's business district or those involved with the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Imola.

There are 60 comfortably furnished, functional rooms and a handful of luxurious suites and apartments - ideal for longer stays. Each room has a well-appointed, modern bathroom, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, internet modem link, hairdryer and minibar. An excellent Continental-style breakfast is served each morning and cots are available to families with little ones.

The hotel's Da Willy restaurant serves a tasty menu of international and local dishes, often featuring wonderful fresh fish specialities. There is also a relaxing lounge bar where guests can unwind over a drink or a light snack. There is 24-hour service on reception and friendly, helpful staff will gladly offer information or advice on Bologna and the surrounding area.
