Discover the best 5-Star’s hotels and exclusive holiday homes between Emilia-Romagna’s cities of art, rolling hills and the Adriatic coastline
Emilia-Romagna unfolds in layers — from the medieval towers of Bologna to the neoclassical elegance of Parma, the mosaic-rich streets of Ravenna to the verdant hills of Romagna. It is a region where culture, craftsmanship and cuisine intertwine, and where true luxury is found in the quiet dignity of place, space and refinement. Our curated collection of small luxury hotels, exclusive villas and stylish holiday apartments in Emilia-Romagna reflects this balance of sophistication and authenticity. In the cities, you’ll find boutique hotels set in historic palazzi, where original frescoes and antique floors meet minimalist design and discreet comfort. Outside the urban centres, converted country houses and hillside retreats offer self-catering elegance with sweeping views and tranquil gardens. The Adriatic coast adds another dimension: elegant beachside villas and stylish B&Bs that favour substance over spectacle. Many of these accommodations are rooted in local tradition — with materials like cotto, wood and stone — and shaped by contemporary design sensibilities. Whether you’re exploring regional gastronomy, attending an opera in Modena, or simply unwinding under a vine-covered pergola, each place in this collection is chosen for its design, soul and connection to the rhythm of Emilia-Romagna.
