Our house is about 15 km. outside of Bologna, on a private road shared by about 8 other families. The small towns of Sala, Padulle and Osteria Nuova are only 3-5 km. away, with shops, banks, restaurants, schools and a post office, and local farms sell their produce. The charming town of San Giovanni in Persiceto is about 10 km. to the northwest. A convenient train leaving at regular intervals for Bologna to the south and Verona to the north is 3 km. from the house. The area is flat and ideal for cycling, with numerous bike paths and trails through the vineyards.
