Palazzo di Varignana’s holistic approach to health and wellness is inspired by scientific director Dr Annamaria Acquaviva’s five pillars of health: inner harmony, a well-balanced diet, exercise, quality sleep, and cosmetic treatments. The resort offers programs tailored to your needs, to help you detox, get fit, sleep better or lose weight, as part of your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
The Varsana SPA’s, directed by Jennifer Theiss wide range of treatments includes their signature water treatment program where you progress through a series of hot and cold pools, baths and saunas. There are two exclusive rooms – Cava d’Oro Bianco and Grotta dei Calanchi – inspired by the surrounding territory and ideal for Digital Detox. The spa also uses products made with ingredients grown on the estate, including extra-virgin olive oil, wine, saffron and pomegranate – the same ingredients that lie at the heart of the resort’s spectacular – and healthy – cuisine.
„A healing journey filled with Italian beauty, flavors and fragrances in the hills above Bologna.“
Palazzo di Varignana is a harmonious blend of old and new, with a country castle built in 1705 at its heart. Conceived as a way of bringing new life to the historic buildings and abandoned farmland of the region, the resort has six private villas created utilizing old and neglected buildings, lovingly restored to create luxury residences, plus sparkling swimming pools, immaculate gardens, wild green spaces, and a farm that produces its own olive oil and wine, as well as produce for the resort.
The rooms, suites and villas are restful, elegant spaces with plenty of natural light. Four restaurants, three bars and a winery give you a variety of dining and drinking options to choose from. The rich history of the region is woven through the resort: there’s a Roman amphitheater on the grounds, as well as archaeological artifacts and artworks to discover, with extensive walking and cycling trails through the rolling hills. And if history’s not your thing, you can work on your swing in the golf practice area.
The Historic buildings are sensitively reimagined and repurposed to create a beautiful modern resort with a working farm.
Set in the hills outside Bologna, in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy.
