Santa Maria Maddalena is an elegant villa located just 2 km from the Palazzo di Varignana estate in Castel San Pietro Terme, near Bologna. It takes its name from Santa Maria Assunta alla Cappella, the medieval church dating from 1366, around which the sacristy, rectory and farmhouse were subsequently built. The entire architectural complex has been expertly renovated, giving rise to the current residence characterised by its refined style, attention to detail and embellished with specially created handcrafted decorations. The chapel - deconsecrated in 1986 - remains an integral part of the villa, has an ample surface area and partly preserves the original frescoes of unquestionable historical charm. The property dominates the surrounding hilly landscape, giving those who stay here unforgettable moments of relaxation immersed in nature, without renouncing any comforts. Located at the top of the hill, it offers a splendid view of the Amphitheater on the vineyard, part of the Palazzo di Varignana estate. In addition, guests can take advantage of the many extra services provided by the resort not far away, enjoying discounts and concessions, from access to the Varsana Spa, to the tennis, squash, basketball and padel courts, to booking golf, tennis, squash and yoga lessons, to food experiences such as wine and oil tasting in the resort's internal farm, or to dining in one of the three in-house restaurants.
