Spectacular day in the Italian countryside. Ilaria was the perfect guide - fun and informative. Highlights included the olive oil tasting, lunch, and beautiful scenery. The two towns were special in different ways. From a logistics standpoint, everything was seamless. Pick up in Bologna was simple. Ilaria managed everything throughout the day. I cannot say enough good things about what a lovely day it was. Nice break from the pace of Italian cities.

A huge thank you to Ilaria for an amazing day exploring hidden medieval villages and an olive oil tasting! We started off with beautiful scenery and a delicious olive oil tasting in Brisighella. Ilaria made it a blast with her knowledge of the area and great stories. She took some great photos and videos of us to remember the special day! We had a delicious lunch at a very “local” place followed by the best gelato around. We ended on a high with a fascinating tour of medieval Dozza filled with art and spectacular views. We will always remember the day and cannot thank Ilaria enough!

Filippo was very knowledgable and engaging. He gave us a very good overview of history of the medieval villages that we visited. He also took us to an olive oil cooperative where we learned about the production of olive oil. All in all it was a very interesting and fun day. We would highly recommend Filippo.

Filippo was the BEST tour guide we ever had. He was flexible, cared about what we wanted to see and focus on, he took extra time with us, and never rushed us. Our kids enjoyed hanging out with him. He cared a lot about the details and made the trip very special. We want him to always be our guide. I highly recommend any tour The Village Italy and Filippo have. Since he travels so much, he can relate to anyone. thank you so much for the very special day!

These two medieval villages are gorgeous and Filippo is a truly charming host! Food and views are insane, a must if visiting Bologna.

Filippo picked us up nearby our hotel in Bologna. The drive to Brisighella was pleasant though the highway and part from the country side with gorgeous views. We had a olive oil tasting and a delicious lunch, my daughter is vegetarian and they could arrange for her. What to say, the two villages plus the stop to the Senna statue ( we decided for that instead of the stop at the Imola fortress) Was amazing and well organised. Price is competitive and Filippo a very charming guy. Would recommend this tour if you don’t want to drive but also to spend some quality time with a local person.

夕食のバイキングが充実。特に目の前でエビやアワビを焼いてくれる。まるでシティホテル並み。白玉入り汁粉がとてもうれしかった。2連泊したところ、2日目に赤牛のなべ焼きが無料で出された。サプライズに感激。スタッフも概ねフレンドリー。風呂は阿蘇根子岳が目の前に見えてよかったが、全般に狭くいまいちリラックスができなかった。
