Villa San Martino is an elegant 19th-century residence set within a sprawling centuries-old park, where history, nature, and hospitality converge just minutes from Bologna. Formerly known as Villa Meraville, the villa invites guests into a refined and enchanting setting, enhanced by a summer pool, expansive green spaces, and a restaurant specializing in traditional Bolognese cuisine. On select evenings, the venue hosts musical events, fostering a lively and engaging atmosphere.
The residence features four uniquely designed rooms, each with a private bathroom, aimed at providing a distinctive experience. Each space tells a story and reflects the villa's charm in a personal way. The historic Stanza Paese still holds a valuable artistic tribute from the year Ottavio painted this room, becoming part of the home's legacy.
One of the rooms is like a fairytale suite, highlighted by a panoramic fresco that envelops the space, a round bed, and soft, ambient lighting. Elegant furnishings and scenic details evoke an enchanted castle atmosphere, perfect for a romantic and timeless getaway. The Camera Rossa evokes the sophistication of historic city palaces, boasting red walls, golden drapes, and a wooden platform bed. Paintings inspired by Bologna and warm lighting create an intimate and prestigious ambiance.
The Camera Blu blends classic elegance with modern comfort. Its midnight blue walls frame a grand four-poster bed with a tufted headboard, while vintage furnishings and velvet curtains add to the romantic and cozy environment. On the top floor of the villa, there is a charming attic-style room with exposed beams, soft tones, and a serene atmosphere, ideal for those seeking tranquility and charm.
Guests benefit from ample free parking, which is particularly convenient for those arriving by car. Public transport is nearby, allowing easy access to the city center. In the rooms, amenities for preparing coffee and tea are provided, along with packaged baked goods, in compliance with current regulations.
The villa's restaurant offers an à la carte menu inspired by Bolognese traditions, complemented by a carefully curated selection of wines. The venue is also highly regarded for events and ceremonies, thanks to its frescoed halls, adaptable outdoor spaces, and expansive park with ancient trees and a pool, providing an elegant and private setting for any occasion.
Located in the San Donato area, the villa is approximately five kilometers from Bologna's city center and is easily accessible via Via San Donato. Its strategic location is ideal for travelers by car who wish to avoid parking hassles, and it is close to the Bologna Fair, Parco Nord, the Stalingrado area, and Grand Tour Italia. It also offers convenient access to places like Granarolo, Cadriano, Castenaso, and Budrio.
Laura, who passionately and dedicatedly manages the residence, warmly welcomes guests to this exclusive venue, confident that the villa’s energy and atmosphere will make every stay special.
