Description Love in Bloom: Castel San Pietro Terme

Privacy is key here at this villa in Emilia Romagna, yet guests have access to all the luxurious amenities of the sprawling resort – tennis courts, a spa, restaurants and multi-level swimming pools. You’re in Italy’s larder here (22km from Bologna) and wine and olive oil tastings are on offer. Retreat to your villa and indulge in the private pool, long lunches of mortadella and san Sangiovese beneath the pergola and views of the rolling farmland. There are three living rooms inside, each one as plush as the last, and a modern kitchen for family-sized meals. From serene bedrooms, you can wake to the sun rising over the fields around you.
