The agritourism Gaggioli Borgo delle Vigne is a deluxe resort located at the farm 'Bagazzana' 10 Km far from Bologna city center and formerly owned by the Nonantola Abbey monks who, around 1000 A.D., used to get the best wine for their tables there.
The Gaggioli family, who has been working these lands for nearly forty years, not only dedicates itself to the wine production, but also to a modern agritourism immersed in the greenery of a hill a few minutes by car from Bologna and the main motorways. There are fifteen beds in both double and single rooms: the kind of accommodation offered is very wide. Moreover, a big kitchen is at the disposal of banquets, parties and company lunches with traditional menus based on typical products. There is also a sales point.
Borgo delle Vigne represents the ideal base for excursions on foot (CAI paths and naturalistic itineraries), by horse, motorbike and mountain bike.
By car or with the local train is it possible to reach Bologna City Center, the most famous touristic destinations, all the regional art cities, the Adriatic coast, the near golf fields, or you can go through the thematic itineraries related to motors, food and drink, art, thermal waters and nature.
Reception is open from 3.30 p.m to 8.00 p.m.. For earlier or later arrivals is necessary to contact us and communicate your expected arrival time.

All the rooms are soundproof and equipped with autonomous heating and air conditioning systems, LCD Tv Color, direct telephone, internet connection, minibar, hairdryer and safe.
