This hotel in Bologna is a delightful base to explore this intriguing city. With a fascinating history dating back to the 6th century BC, this fine northern Italian university city is affectionately known by Italians as La Dotta, La Grassa e La Rossa - The Learned, the Fat and the Red. Learned, because it is home to Europe's oldest university, red because of its wonderful red-brick buildings and terracotta rooftops (and its Socialist tradition) and fat, thanks to its standing as the gastronomic capital of this nation of foodies.

Bologna's Savoia Country House Hotel was originally a series of ancient farm buildings situated in woodland about 4km from the city. Full of charm and character, this Italian hotel has 42 attractive rooms, all air-conditioned and with spacious en-suite bathroom facilities plus direct-dial phone, satellite television, a personal safe and a minibar.
