Agriturismo Rio Verde

Agriturismo Rio Verde in Sasso Marconi is a quiet, nature-first farm stay set in a restored rural property, ideal for switching off in the Bologna hills.

Rural setting with space to breathe: The agriturismo sits on a large estate of fields, orchard, woods, meadows, and a small hillside lake, giving the stay a genuinely secluded feel. Guests can spend time outdoors in the park-like grounds rather than feeling “stuck” in a single building.

Characterful rooms and practical comforts: The main farmhouse hosts six en-suite rooms (including single, doubles, and a triple), each styled differently with an authentic rural look. In-room essentials mentioned include Wi‑Fi, satellite TV, minibar, and a kettle for hot drinks.

Food is a core part of the experience: On-site dining focuses on local tradition with ingredients from the farm or nearby producers, and guest feedback often highlights the quality of both dinner and breakfast. There’s also an outdoor pergola area used for enjoying meals in good weather.

Welcoming, multilingual hosting: The team is described as available to share the story of the farm and the area, and multiple languages are spoken. Visitors frequently describe the service as warm and attentive.

Good base for walks and nearby sights: The location works well for countryside routes like Via degli Dei and the Via della Lana e della Seta, keeping nature close to your doorstep. It’s also positioned for easy drives into Bologna when you want a city day.

Limited inventory: With only a small number of rooms, availability may be tight in peak periods.

Car-friendly, less transit-focused: The hillside setting is part of the charm, but it may feel less convenient without your own transport.
