Our green-built structure is located in the first hills of Bologna, in the locality of Carteria di Sesto, bordering the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa. We are at the end of a dirt road that rises from about 130 meters to 200 meters, you can go up either on foot or by mountain bike, car or van. We do not have animals but can accommodate dogs without any problems, as well as even small children (we have two of them aged 9 and 6). The cottage is a 35-square-meter studio apartment with a bathroom, kitchen and double bed, an independent space with free access at any time, independent heating and air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine and stove available. The apartment is entirely green building, i.e. wood and straw, completed in 2023 with the latest technologies (heat pump, rainwater recovery system, storage batteries). Outside we have about one hectare of space with forest, compost toilet and treehouse!

Nature and surroundings

We are located in the foothills of the Emilian Apennines, just a 20-minute drive from the city of Bologna. The setting is isolated from any other habitation, in the middle of a forest where roe deer, wild boar, hares, foxes and a few wolves live. Via Mater Dei, one of the best-marked hiking trails in the area, also passes through here (the route to our house is just a small part of Via Mater Dei). Children have plenty of space to run and play, while adults can relax with a barbecue or a ride on rented mountain bikes and fat bikes (we have 2 available). For nature lovers, the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e dei Calanchi dell'Abbadessa is a true paradise of trails and viewpoints suitable for any level of experience. Definitely worth visiting year-round armed with hiking boots and poles!

    It was very quiet and natural! The host family is warm and very helpful! The cottage was great and had everything we needed for a week. Keep living your dream!

    I went solo and wanted some tranquility, case you will the guys in the house were leaving the whole property for a weekend for a trip and I had a chance to have a lot of space and tranquility to myself. It also made me realize, though, that it would be nice to share all that quiet with someone. The owners were so kind and inspiring even if it was only for a short time, and they would surely have so many more interesting stories to share. I sensed so much love in the place, for that I am grateful to them.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    I found calm, comfort and really kind and inspiring service. Thank you!

    Very nice experience. The apartment is really very nice, comfortable and perfectly equipped (even against the heat). All around there are interesting trails and nature to explore. A real home in nature.
