The house where we live is located in Sasso Marconi, only twenty kms. from Bologna and 90 kms from Florence. It's 80 square metres large on two levels: ground floor you find a well equipped kitchen, a bathroom and the dining/living room. On the first floor there are three rooms (two bedrooms and the IT room, as we call it, with satellite TV, PC with Internet adsl connection) and the bathroom with jacuzzi.
Outside there's a very large garden with bbq and a small river. It's a good place to relax, to fit walking, trekking or simply laying in the shadow listening to the birds singing.
Sasso Marconi offers visitors a perfect mixture of history and nature. The area is rich in historical remains, whether Etruscan or Roman, as well as churches, stately homes and rural buildings of historical interest. All of this is found in the context of wonderful views which maintain their charm. Nature is the dominant feature of Sasso Marconi. The hills are traced with paths, scenic walks and natural oases which are ideal for trail riding on horseback, free-climbing, orienteering, mountain- biking, archery and hiking (the ancient “Road of Gods” passes through here). Otherwise, visitors can simply relax and enjoy the open air. A visit to Sasso Marconi is also an opportunity to try the specialities of the Bologna Apennines such as truffl es, mushrooms, chestnuts and crescentine (a type of bread) in the charming restaurants serving both traditional and more creative cuisine. Other typical products of the area are wine (Sasso Marconi is a “City of Wine”) and olive oil from the olive trees which, after a period of two hundred years, are being cultivated again. There are a number of farms offering accommodation and bed & breakfasts for a relaxing stay surrounded by nature and local customs.
