Renting on a nightly or weekly basis, this attractive B&B with pool located on
the border between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany offers a great views and ideal
location. It sleeps up to ten, in five bedrooms
with en suite bathrooms. It has a private garden with many areas to relax under
the shade and a swimming pool overlooking the beautiful valley. Only a few
minutes walking distance from the village of Tredozio, Torre Fantini offers a
strategic location to explore central Italy’s regions such as Emilia Romagna,
Tuscany and Umbria.
Located near the southeastern corner of Italy's
Emilia-Romagna region, Torre Fantini claims a hilltop position amid the rolling
green landscape bordering the Foresti Casentinesi national park, which extends
southward into Tuscany. Torre Fantini is an old farm tower belonging to the
family of the same name. The family still lives in the
Palazzo Fantini located nearby the Torre, 1 km away. The magical garden
surrounding the Palazzo, a 17th century residence, belongs to the association of
Grandi Giardini Italiani and is open to the public for tours, for courtyard
concerts during the summer and for weddings.
The village of Tredozio is wonderfully quiet,
yet harbors a number of inviting restaurants, particularly the Mulino di San
Michele (once an old mill). A ten-minute walk takes guests from Torre Fantini to
the village center, which contains the conveniences of grocery shops, bakeries,
bars and a bus station.
Torre Fantini offers a stay in a delightful
farmhouse, remodeled in the traditional style, with terrace views over a lovely
stretch of countryside. Each of the four double bedrooms is attractively
furnished in a refined rustic style with beamed ceilings and cotto toscan
floors, and provided with a satellite TV and refrigerator. A bathroom with
shower accommodates each bedroom. There is also a brand-new suite consisting of
one double bedroom, living room and a small kitchen. Guests are served a fresh
breakfast each morning in Fantini's communal dining room. Other meals are taken
in local restaurants or picnic-style.
Torre Fantini is centrally heated and
laundry service is available. Three hundred meters from the residence guests
will find a public tennis court. The above ground swimming pool is open from
May to September.

The Area
Benefiting from a long history of prosperity, Emilia-Romagna is
imbued with the spirit of fine living and boasts of many exceptional Renaissance
palaces and a particularly rich culinary heritage (lasagna, tortellini, Parmesan
cheese and balsamic vinegar are just a few of many delicious regional
innovations). A number of enjoyable excursions are easily undertaken from Torre
Fantini. Faenza, with its world-famous ceramics museum and production
house, is about 30 km away, and the splendid medieval fortress at Brisighella,
the focus of an annual medieval festival, is about 15 km away. A
drive of 50 km toward the Adriatic Sea brings guests to Ravenna, the location
of the world's finest Byzantine mosaics outside of Istanbul, and from here it's
just minutes to the beautiful resort towns of the coast.
The distinguished city of Bologna, 75 km northwest of
Fantini, offers a delightful urban experience and, remarkably, the Tuscan
capital of Florence is almost as close.
