The Country House Oliveto sul Lago originates from the restoration of an ancient residence destroyed during the battles of the Gothic Line in World War II. It preserves the charm of bucolic tradition combined with a refined style in the design of each space and the choice of furnishings. A charming avenue of cypress and olive trees leads guests to the Country House, situated atop a gentle slope overlooking the Varignana valley and opening up to one of the most spectacular olive groves in the hills of Bologna. Inside, the reception, adjacent to the corner bar, overlooks the spacious living area divided into a lounge and breakfast room, dominated by a large central fireplace and illuminated by a spectacular glass window with a view of the olive grove. It also features an outdoor terrace perfect, during the summer months, for enjoying a relaxing breakfast outdoors. The expansive outdoor garden offers a space of approximately 200 square meters in natural travertine stone for outdoor events for up to 110 people, an infinity pool overlooking the valley with a sunbathing area available from May to September, and a private parking area.
The served breakfast is continental, featuring artisanal pastries, juices, and jams made on our premises, along with fruits and vegetables from our farms, and cured meats and cheeses from local agricultural companies. The dining service offered by the Country House, reserved for events with more than 20 people, provides the opportunity to taste typical products of Emilia Romagna, fresh and selected according to the season: all the authenticity and naturalness of traditional cuisine encapsulated in a blend of tradition and creativity.
