Regenerative Lifestyle Resort in the Bolognese Hills

A prestigious and elegant resort set in the Bolognese hills. A 18th-century villa, restored to its original splendor, provides the backdrop for an exclusive location suitable for relaxing stays, corporate events, or private celebrations.

The resort features 150 rooms and suites across various room types (from Standard to Presidential Suite) distributed throughout the property’s complexes, complemented by the Villas Collection—6 independent villas for guests seeking maximum privacy and independence.

Palazzo di Varignana’s dining offer includes 5 distinct restaurants, a lounge bar, and a dedicated wine cellar for tastings, designed to guide guests through a culinary journey blending fine dining, tradition, and immersive experiences:

 Il Grifone (Fine Dining Restaurant): located in Palazzo Bentivoglio, offering contemporary haute cuisine and culinary research that reinterprets the local region through refined and creative tasting menus.

 Treno Reale (Carriage Restaurant): an exclusive dining experience set inside an authentic vintage train carriage from 1921, taking guests on a multi-course journey through the flavors of Italy.

 Aurevo Pool Restaurant: an all-day dining poolside restaurant featuring contemporary Italian cuisine and high-quality comfort food, centered around the resort’s extra virgin olive oil.

 Trattoria Le Marzoline: an authentic country house dedicated to classic traditional dishes from Emilia-Romagna and handmade fresh pasta.

 Ginkgo Longevity Restaurant: an innovative dining concept based on the Acquaviva Method, serving nutraceutical, health-boosting dishes focused on wellness and longevity.

 Lounge Bar & Cantina Agrivar: the Lounge Bar and its panoramic terraces provide the ideal setting for aperitifs and cocktails, while Cantina Agrivar welcomes guests for guided tastings of the estate’s own wines and extra virgin olive oils.

Varsana SPA & Health Retreats

Varsana SPA is the resort’s wellness oasis, designed for relaxation and mind-body balance. It features a traditional 3-hour circuit—included with overnight stays—that includes a clay ravine cave (grotta dei calanchi), white gold quarry, saunas, Turkish bath, and sensory showers. The offering also includes massages, specialized body treatments, and deep regeneration rituals.

For guests seeking specific health goals, the resort offers retreats based on the Acquaviva Method. These integrated programs are built around five core pillars of health: functional nutrition, inner harmony, physical activity, sleep and rest, and nutritional and cosmetic supplementation.

The programs draw inspiration from epigenetics—the study of how nutrition, physical activity, sleep quality, stress management, and lifestyle habits influence personal well-being and contribute to long-term quality of life.
