Lying between Modena to the north and Bologna to the south, the Emilia Romagna town of Sassuolo was for decades the home of the Italian tile industry. Once the undisputed global leader, the industry has now fallen to cheaper competition from Spain and more recently China, but there are still factories around the town. In the Renaissance period, Sassuolo was one of the many homes to the all powerful Este Dukes, who ruled much of northern Italy. Your Sassuolo hotel is well placed for sightseeing. Their main legacy in the town is the Summer Palazzo Ducale of Sassuolo, built and lavishly decorated in the 1800s for the Este Dukes. Within there are fine frescoes by the French Baroque artist Jean Boulanger, as well Angelo M. Colonna and Agostino Mitelli.

Nearby Modena has a host of historic and cultural sites - including the Duomo di Modena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bologna, meanwhile, is arguably Italy's gastronomic capital ... though you will find fantastic food throughout Emilia Romagna, with terrific risottos, and Parma ham, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar all native to the region. This Sassuolo hotel is your perfect base for discovering Emilia-Romagna.
