Bologna hotels - Hotel Garden, Anzola dell'Emilia

Hotel Garden, near Bologna

This attractive, modern four-star hotel lies on the outskirts of Bologna, the capital of the Italy's northern Emilia-Romagna region, and is just 6km from the Borgo Panigale Airport. The region can lay claim to have Italy's finest (and certainly richest) cuisine, so be sure to tuck in to some local delicacies while in the area. Forget spaghetti bolognese, taste the Bolognese ragu sauces in their authentic form.

The Hotel Garden, in Anzola Emilia, has 42 bright, comfortable rooms, all with a built-in safe, minibar, fax machine, modem link, desk, satellite television and air conditioning, all en-suite, complete with bath and shower. Safety deposit boxes are also available, as is a dry cleaning/laundry service. The 24-hour front desk is on hand to cater to your every need, offering currency exchange and numerous activities, including fishing and shooting in the hotel grounds.

Start the day with homemade tarts and pastries in the breakfast room and round it off with a relaxing cocktail in the gaily coloured American lounge/bar. Pets are welcome at the Hotel Garden and the gardens offer a children's play area. How about a croquet match? Equipment is all available here - as is a nine-hole golf course!

A meeting room is available for up to 60 people and internet and photocopying services, along with a business support centre, are all on hand should you need them. The hotel also offers free private parking, so you can put your mind at rest as you relax and enjoy your evening.
