Emilia Romagna Holiday Villas & Holiday Homes Emilia Romagna

Northern Italy is famed for its warm Italian charm combined with a liberal, cosmopolitan flare which comes from closer association with other European countries to the north. If one region most boldly highlights this splendid aspect of northern Italy, it is Emilia-Romagna. The region's bustling, colorful capital of Bologna smoothes out into scenic, pastoral Italian countryside of incomparable sheer beauty. Emilia Romagna offers visitors a wide range of holiday accommodation, from holiday homes Emilia Romagna and holiday rental apartments Emilia Romagna to luxury villas Emilia Romagna.

When exploring the region, the best place to start out is a holiday home in Bologna. A great place to begin a tour of the city is the Piazza Maggiore, which is home to the impressive Basilica di San Petronio, which has been under construction for over 300 years and has yet to be completed. Nevertheless, it holds a superb example of Renaissance art. The Archaeological Museum is also a fine attraction in Bologna, along with Santo Stefano and the Torre degli Asinelli, whose accompanying flower garden is like stepping back into time and into a full fledged Renaissance in bloom.

Nightlife in Bologna is top-notch, largely attributed to the intense participation of Bologna’s heavy student population. But it’s not just a university town; the clubs, bars, and discos that pulse all night long are populated by the young and beautiful as well as seasoned party pros, and vacationers who come here to join the fabulous throng. But don't stay out all night – return to your Emilia Romagna holiday apartment for a good night's sleep as you've got lots of exploring ahead of you!

Out in the countryside, the village of Brisighella is a veritable gem. Multi-colored building facades decorate winding roads through a city rich with history dating back to the Roman and Celtic times. It would be a crime for an art student visiting Italy not to see Ravenna, which is a virtual world capital for mosaics, with delightfully beautiful tours of “mosaics by night”. Here you can nestle into a cozy holiday rental and really experience the northern Italian lifestyle. Coastal Emilia-Romagna is best enjoyed at Cervia, a lovely destination with a castle and nearby beaches. For a medieval flare, book one of the fine holiday homes in Castel del Rio, and explore this fascinating town with its 16th century fortress.

Accommodations throughout the reason should be booked well in advance, as this region is rapidly gaining in popularity. Apartment rentals, villas and self catering holiday homes are of good quality, although you are encouraged to book early when looking for a place to stay in Emilia-Romagna.
