Dazzling Dozza

Villa Calanco was a perfect home base for visiting the Emilia-Romagna. The apartment was charming, cozy and well equipped. We loved being able to buy wine from the honor system stash in the entry hall. At $5 euro a bottle it was a steal. The property is beautiful and very quiet with a swimming pool for those hot days. The small village of Dozza 1.5 KM away is a jewel, The town walls are painted by artists displaying high quality art work. I highly recommend Villa Calanco.

Loved Dozza!

Spent a week in apartment Natalia. The position was excellent to explore the region and the little town of Dozza was a delight. Franco was friendly, available and informative. The pool was lovely and so needed in the intense heat. We loved the tomatoes and figs Franco left from his garden. A wonderful stay in a beautiful country home.

Traditional

This felt like a quintessentially traditional, Romagna farmhouse. Renovated authentically, even in the kitchen and bathroom where authentic hardware and furniture were blended with the modern amenities. Owner-managet Franco was very pleasant to work with and a font of information. Large rooms, high ceilings, comfortable even on hot days. We stayed during unusually warm weather and the pool was a great luxury. Highly recommended.

Why they chose this property

Privileged location - In peaceful countryside but easy to reach from the motorway, from the train station, airport of Bologna. Excellent and convenient base for visits cultural tourism. A few minutes from all services, various typical restaurants, food stores and supermarket.
Charming apartments - Spacious, independent and real quality apartments, characteristic, carefully restored and equipped with all comforts and furnished keeping intact the charm of the rural tradition of Romagna.

What makes this property unique

We believe that we are offering something that has been missing in Romagna: not average farm holiday accommodation, not uninspiring flats, but cozy apartments in historical villa in which the owners themselves reside, amid the charm of history , comfort and tradition.
Family management - Managing reservations, keys delivery, ceck-in and ceck-out run by Franco and his family who live in the main part of the villa and are always available for any question or information
