Villa Aretusi: a stunning location with gourmet restaurant, trattoria and hotel

Standing just outside Bologna, the seventeenth-century Villa Aretusi offers the perfect backdrop for a gourmet pit stop, a trattoria lunch or dinner; events, weddings, or simply a relaxing break in the middle of your journey.

Reaching the Villa, and savouring its atmosphere, couldn't be simpler. Discover how here.

The fine dining restaurant

Chef Alessandro Panichi lends his touch and creativity to an original, contemporary menu that makes expert use of the local produce.

The seventeenth-century Villa Aretusi, once the home of the Bolognese painter Cesare Aretusi, is home to no less than three expressions of contemporary cooking. At the helm is Alessandro Panichi, who channels the same care, quality and sophistication into three different forms: the fine dining restaurant Sotto l'arco, the Trattoria Aretusi, and the Banqueting area.

The buildings and grounds allow the Villa to offer hospitality for every occasion, be it business or pleasure.

Traditional Emilian cuisine

The famous gastronomic tradition of Italy's Emilia region, interpreted with a touch of class and Villa Aretusi's trademark attention to detail.
