Empoli Vacations from $996

Great location!! Gorgeous room, clean, and they were very helpful. I would absolutely stay there again!

While this property offers clean, well-maintained accommodations and an exceptional dining experience at the on-site restaurant, its categorization as a Bologna hotel is misleading. It is an ideal location specifically for motorsports enthusiasts due to its proximity to the Imola racing circuit; however, it lacks nearby shopping or additional dining options, making it less than ideal for those intended to stay in Bologna. The hotel operates on a self-service model with communication handled via WhatsApp, which is efficient, but travelers should be aware of its specific location in Imola before booking through platforms like Expedia.

Staying here was a wonderful and truly unique experience. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the challenges we had with the air conditioning in our room. That said, the staff really did make an effort to find a workaround for us. While it wasn’t a perfect solution, it definitely helped, and we appreciated how responsive and accommodating they were. The hotel itself is an old castle, and that alone makes staying here such a special experience. The property is beautiful, incredibly charming, and very well maintained. You simply can’t replicate the character, history, and ambiance that come with staying in a property like this. The setting and surroundings are beautiful. It was definitely one of those experiences that felt uniquely Italian and added something special to our trip. My only recommendation would be to visit when the temperatures aren’t quite as hot. Given the age and historic nature of the property, I can appreciate that modernizing certain things like the air conditioning may not be as straightforward as it would be in a newer hotel. During cooler weather, I imagine our experience would have been close to perfect. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and are glad we had the opportunity to experience such a beautiful and unique property. I would absolutely recommend it, just perhaps not during the hottest part of the summer!
