Regenerative Lifestyle Resort
Nestled in the Bolognese hills, Palazzo di Varignana is where a broader vision takes shape, transforming each stay into an experience that intertwines well-being, nature, culture, and Italian lifestyle. At its heart stands Palazzo Bentivoglio, an 18th-century country castle, around which a contemporary village unfolds in continuity with the territory.
Here, each space emerges from a dialogue between landscape, architecture, taste, and experiences, creating a balanced environment where the different dimensions of the project meet and recognize one another.
The 30 hectares surrounding the complex extend into 900 hectares of farmland, forming a system in which care for the land is reflected in the cuisine and, more deeply, in the quality of the overall experience.
In this context, the resort becomes the place where this vision comes to life: a journey engaging body, mind, and connection with the territory, continuing over time beyond the stay.

History
Palazzo Bentivoglio, a country castle with four traditional towers, was built in 1705 by Francesco Angiolini, one of the most famous architects of the 18th-century in Bologna and take its name from the senatorial family that owned it.
The stuccoes, both monochrome and patinated, the frescoes and the furnishings quality, shaping multiple rooms rich in eclectic references, which preserve the elegant spirit typical of that architectural period. The staircase, the loggia, the vaulted ceilings, the wall decorations and the fabric and brocade coverings, results of a recent renovation made in the respect of the palace's history charm, welcome guests in a charming and evocative atmosphere.
Palazzo Bentivoglio is dedicated to hospitality and today lends some halls to the fine dining restaurant Il Grifone, a culinary corner of excellence.
