Holiday Farm Montevecchio Isolani
Montevecchio Isolani: a place of delights. For the palate, the spirit and the body: D.O.C. wines and gastronomy, relaxing or cultural holidays in the nearby Cities of Art, horse-riding holidays and equestrian tourism. The historic Palazzo Isolani, the monumental country residence which due to the typical, exclusive usage by the senatorial Bolognese family was given the name “Palazzo”, has a commanding view over the hills, where there are the wine cellars of Montevecchio Isolani and their vineyards, and the Agriturismo Montevecchio Isolani, ideal for relaxing or equestrian holidays. Since 1456, the Montevecchio wine cellars, dug into the hill below Palazzo Isolani, have conserved the wine produced in the vineyards spread over the surrounding hills, with the D.O.C. “Colli Bolognesi” among the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Pignoletto – classic, spumante and sparkling – the pride of the local wine and gastronomy traditions. Right next door, the Agriturismo Montevecchio Isolani, taking its name from the Palazzo, offers all the peace and quiet of the countryside of the Bolognese hills, enriched by a swimming pool and the opportunity for walking, trekking and bird-watching. For children and teenagers, the Agriturismo Montevecchio organizes courses and weekends of equestrianism to practice horse-riding and equestrian tourism with horses and ponies, both in the stables and along the various horse-trekking routes in the Bolognese hills. The Agriturismo’s restaurant, respecting the ancient tradition of the famous Bolognese cuisine, offers dishes cooked to family recipes in complete accordance with the region’s wine and gastronomy heritage and the ethos of the Slow Food movement. Its strategically perfect position, a few miles from Bologna, makes the Agriturismo Montevecchio the ideal place for a relaxing holiday with easy access to both the surrounding natural beauty and so many nearby Cities of Art: Bologna, Ferrara, Modena, Parma, Mantua, and even Florence and Venice.
