Il Granello - Cucina & Relax in Natura

The small restaurant dining room, the enclosed veranda (heated in winter), and all outdoor spaces across the fields and woods are at your disposal, complete with a wide selection of board games. A shaded barbecue area is available near the pitches. The pitches are nestled at the edge of the forest around cultivated fields, serving as the perfect starting point for hiking or cycling tours directly from your pitch.

Although we are quite close to the city, the surrounding nature is the greatest surprise and main attraction. In the Contrafforte Pliocenico Nature Reserve, you can discover a rich variety of flora and fauna in all seasons. The Contrafforte ridge stretches from east to west: the southern side is characterized by unexpected Mediterranean vegetation, while the northern side takes on an alpine character. All around the farm, numerous trails of various lengths invite you to take relaxing walks and soak in the scenery. You'll find the woodland trail around the fields with a visit to the cave, the scenic cliff viewpoint, the "pulpit" in the woods, the summit of Monte Rosso, the Sanctuary of Monte delle Formiche, and the various well-marked routes of the "Trail of Friends" (Sentiero degli Amici). There are also well-marked CAI hiking trails that will take you several hours to explore. We also offer e-bike rentals so you can easily explore many of these paths. You can also try natural horsemanship at the Red Rose Ranch (10 minutes away), go caving in the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi (25 minutes), or spend a wonderful day at Lake Bilancino or the fairy-tale Rocchetta Mattei castle (both one hour away). Plus, you can gaze at the night sky and learn about the stars at the Astronomical Station and Planetarium in Loiano (20 minutes). To dive into local history, visit the National Etruscan Museum and the archaeological excavations of Kainua in Marzabotto (40 minutes) or the Monte Sole Historical Park (55 minutes). If you have time, a day trip to Florence (an hour and a half) is an absolute must. For food and wine lovers, Bologna (a 40-minute drive) has so much to offer: join exciting food tours, explore bustling markets, and discover traditional shops and restaurants serving delicious local delicacies. Between tastings, stroll through the picturesque alleys of the historic center, marvel at the Gothic Basilica of San Petronio, climb the iconic Torre degli Asinelli, and visit the Archaeological Museum to immerse yourself in the city's rich past.
