The Il Bio Nonno farmhouse is situated in the heart of the Po Valley, in a strategic location between the provinces of Bologna, Modena and Ferrara. The property is surrounded by a large, well-maintained park, shaded by an imposing, centuries-old plane tree and featuring a children’s play area.
The farmhouse offers 3 recently refurbished flats, sleeping a total of 10 people. The accommodation is spacious and bright, complete with a fully equipped kitchen, satellite TV, independent heating, air conditioning and a private bathroom. Bed linen and towels are also provided.
On the ground floor, the farmhouse has two adjoining rooms of different capacities, which are ideal as classrooms and can be adapted to suit the needs of different groups.
The site also houses an educational farm, where children can discover, through play, aspects of country life that are new to them. The educational trail offers the chance to explore old farming tools, used until the last century, which today seem almost archaic.
The welcoming atmosphere makes the learning experience both educational and enjoyable.
