Located on top of a cypress-covered hill in Bologna, this exquisite 13th-century convent has been transformed into a luxurious hotel for sale. The estate is said to have hosted St. Francis in 1213, who placed the wooden cross near the church and dug the cloister’s well. In the early 19th century, a noble family converted the property into a country residence, and despite subsequent renovations and changes of ownership, it retains the serene, contemplative atmosphere typical of places of worship.
Spanning approximately 4,200 sqm, the property features 38 elegantly furnished bedrooms and suites, six with jacuzzis, adorned with period furniture, wrought-iron beds, and Persian carpets. A former dining hall now houses a refined restaurant, while a deconsecrated church has been converted into a conference centre. The cellars store fine Italian and international wines.
The estate includes a 5,200 sqm landscaped park, a 1,500 sqm swimming pool area, 550 sqm of courtyards, and 1,700 sqm of parking. Its panoramic location near Bologna offers easy access to golf, tennis, horse riding, the highway, and the airport, making it an exceptional investment opportunity that blends historical charm with modern luxury.
