Emilia-Romagna is home to many exceptional Renaissance palaces, as well as some of the best food in Italy. Lasagna, tortellini, Parmesan cheese, and balsamic vinegar are just a few of many examples of the region's rich culinary tradition. Faenza, famous for ceramics, is 30 km away. Brisighella, the focus of an annual medieval festival, is even closer. See the world's finest mosaics outside of Istanbul in Ravenna (50 km), or explore the city of Bologna (75 km). Florence is almost as close.

Located near the southeastern corner of Emilia-Romagna, Villa Emilia is set on a hilltop amid a rolling green landscape bordering the Foresti Casentinesi, a national park that extends into Tuscany. In fact, at one time this property was actually in Tuscany!

Villa Emilia is a classic country house overlooking the quiet little village of Tredozio, which has a number of inviting restaurants to sample, including the Mulino di San Michele, located in an old mill. A 10-minute drive brings you to the village center, where you will find conveniences like grocery shops, bakery, coffee bar, and bus station.

The house is divided into three units (two apartments plus the chapel) that share a swimming pool (10 x 5 m). All of the accommodations have satellite TV, and cell phones are available for guests' use.
