It was my second time staying here and I throughly enjoyed it. The food was incredible, the rooms were lovely, clean and spacious. The majority of the staff were friendly, except the older man working behind the bar who was quite rude to my mother. The spa area was gorgeous. The grounds of the hotel were stunning. The only thing I found difficult was that there were no snacks available to buy throughout the hotel. It would be nice if there was a little coffee shop that sold patties, crisps etc. as we were really wanted something light to eat before the spa and there were only 4 sandwich options in the hotel bar. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Overall a very nice hotel deserving of a 4 star rating. Beautiful views, large rooms, ample breakfast offerings, large spa with a lot of saunas, pools, etc. Gym could use some more equipment but it’s not bad. Parking near your room can be a challenge but it’s no more than a few hundred meters at most. I would recommend this property.

Kicked out of the main pool area early in the morning because they were hosting a loud toga party for a work event. Loud toga party went on until late, reception kept promising it would stop in 10mins for over an hour. Not quite relaxing. Additionally, the wedding we were attending in the event, the wedding cards were ‘misplaced’, hotel staff seen consuming wedding gifts the next day.

What an excellent experience all around. The hotel grounds are wonderful and so are the spacious and well decorated rooms. The service is great and so are the restaurants. Pools and spa are beautiful, fun and very well kept. We even extended our stay since this was such a serene and great experience.

Incredible property. Some minor issues they have to pay attention to, like the A/C. But in summary the property and rooms (Family Room) are very good. After the first night they did not want to replace the natural water in the room, but after I made them see that it was unacceptable that in a room of more than €800 per night, they did not put water every day, they amended this issue.

The place is beautiful with amazing views and luxurious pools but the rooms have seen better days. We stayed in Il Borgo in room 214 and we paid over $300 for a night so we expected quality but the furniture was worn with scratches, the carpet had stains and the private garden that we paid extra for had not been taken care of recently. We're not complainers but we noted these issues to the reception and asked to be moved but they only offered us a room that cost $150 more per night which we thought was crazy so we stayed in the room and made it work. We moved onto the pool area which we found to be wonderful. There are Seven different pools with different water types, sizes and temperatures. We tested them all and thought it was nice to have the option. The pool bar was simple and easy with their home grown wines and a nice assortment of snacks for aperitivo. We were one of the last to leave at 20:00 and enjoyed ourselves. We then went to dinner at Il Grifone, their fine dining restaurant, and unfortunately it was not good. I ordered a risotto and the rice was raw. I had to send it back and that took another 20 minutes to then eat. My wife had a pasta dish that was particular and we knew that when she ordered it but it lacked flavor. They gave a discount but it was still expensive for the quality of food. However, Aurevo saved the day with high-quality and delicious food at lunch on our second day. They had healthy and light options as well a pizza. Eat here.

Great staff, great feeling, great service, great location! We arrived at the hotel very late at night, when it was pouring rain all around and it was almost impossible to see a meter ahead. The hotel staff was very friendly and guided us over the phone regarding the best route, since the town was closed due to flooding. The room was huge in size, very comfortable and with an adjacent well-kept garden. A real dream.

Amazing surroundings, buildings, spa and general atmosphere. Every detail is cared for, so in general a very, very nice place. The service on the other hand, doesn't match the rest. A lot of staff to do the service, but the level of service education is lacking a lot.

Travelled as a couple for a short break and enjoyed the hotel and it’s facilities. Lovely hotel, gorgeous grounds worth exploring and a vast spa with heated pools, great for cooler months. The 2 restaurants that were open when we visited were both great quality and good value with friendly service. We stayed in 2 different room types, both clean but could still do with a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, staff at breakfast and the front desk could be a touch friendlier though we did get amazing tips from one female member of staff at the front desk about surrounding areas. Great hotel to visit but a bit more attention in certain areas could make it amazing.

The location is great, the suite size and all is cool, but the service especially on breakfast is terrible. I needed to remind and ask them for every single thing, from sugar for my coffeee, to pouring me water or bringing me napkin etc. Definitely not to the service standards of a high star rating hotel

We booked our stay at the Palazzo after 8 days of active holiday in Toscany walking a lot and sightseeing. We needed some real luxury relaxation where we could chill at the pool, eat great food and just relax. We found all that and then some. Great resort with all the facilities you can dream of, and then some. Very courteous staff and beautiful clean facilities. The only minus was the mattress which was a bit hard.

Amazing place! Stayed there as a stopover on the way to/from Tuscany, but wish we would have stayed for the entire vacation. We booked two junior suites and one of them then got upgraded to a family room, which had two different sleeping areas. Very convenient. Great air condition and cleanliness. An exquisite spa and three restaurants on the hotel campus. Also tennis courts and paddle tennis available. Four different pools. Children only allowed in the spa area on mornings, which is nice and no problem for the kids as other pools are available.Service top of the class and food very nice and modern Italian style. Dinner at the restaurant close to the reception has an inside area with air con and an outside terrace with the most amazing view and sunset. For Italy pretty accessible on the top of a small hill, roads not too bad. We chose it due to proximity to Bologna airport, 30 minutes. Airport shuttle also available. Will definitely be back. This is one of the best hotels we ever stayed at and will be back.

Hotel and room was very nice. However the grounds outside were in need of some TLC. The labrynth was over grown and full of spider webs so we could not go through it, The garden area and walkway were also weedy and not appealing. For dinner in the spa area we were seated directly facing the sun. When asked, the staff did move an umbrella over but that only lasted about 15 min until we had to move our chairs to the sides of the table. We did notice several other guests complaining of the same thing. Reservations were requested at all restaurants but there wasn’t a lot of time slots available even when requesting in a reasonable advanced time, which is disappointing since there really was no where else to dine.

A superb location with fabulous views. My only criticism is that whilst the resort is premium & luxurious, it’s restaurants and bars lack soul. Fortunately, it’s only a 10 min walk to a village with a lovely trattoria and vibrant local bar. Oh, and a final comment that applies to many descriptions on Expedia. A bathroom is a room with a bath. If it only has a shower, advertise it as such.

Modern hotel with great spa. The breakfast was very poor. Have a good breakfast and guests will tell their friends. No fresh orange juice (cordial) and the scrambled eggs and bacon were always cold. Cappacino was luke warm. They charge extra for fried eggs and other bits that i was surprised at. Breakfast should always have good coffee...its Italy..the home of coffee. I have stayed in many hotels in Italy and they normally have a chef who can cook eggs, omlettes etc and this was missing. We drive while there so not the hotel is quite far from Bologna so taxis will be expensive. The Pool area and Spa are really good and the rooms are very clean and modern. I would come back once they sort out the Breakfast as its a good place to relax and unwind. The Palazzo restaurant that opens only on Friday and Saturday was also not good...much better to go to Portici (1 michelin star) and Carracci...when you pay this sort of money it needs to be good and The Palazzo restaurant was beautiful in side and presentation was good for the food..but was tasteless

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend and starting with the positives I have to say that the estate is beautiful. The installations and gardens are great and the food is really good. However, rooms were just OK. On our first night, we had to ask for a change of sheets because the ones in our bed were stained with blood. Our room was OK but unimpressive. The thing that really disappointed us was the service. After we checked out we realized that we had left behind a stuffed animal that was really important for my daughter. So we contacted the hotel to let them know and their answer was that they found it but they couldn't do anything to send it to us or arrange a delivery. We tried to persuade them to help us but it was useless. When we arrived to our next hotel (The Westin in Florence) we talked to the concierge there and he was amazing and arranged for a pickup in that same moment and my daughter's stuffed animal was with us in the next 24 hours before we left Italy. We were really disappointed by the response of Palazzo di Varignana and their unwillingness to help us when it was clearly a simple matter.

Even if my room is paid in advance and late check-in is guaranteed, my room was sold to someone else. I had to drive 30-35 minutes more at 01AM to another hotel/resort via countryside roads. Unfortunately, I had to stay second and third nights as last minute prices at nearby hotels were exorbitant. Overall bad experience.

Great hotel, hidden on the hills, makes a serene weekend stay. Great spa, full of amenities, great breakfast buffet, and great hotel resturants. Rooms are very comfortable, nice bed, and bathroom. Take some time to walk around the property and enjoy all the views. The staff makes you feel at home, and goes out of their way to make it a pleasing stay. I can't wait to go back!

The spa was truly amazing! Many different saunas, ice available for extreme cooling, and amazing jets and jacuzzis in the pools. They have music underwater in 2 indoor pools... Very cool! FYI Europeans spas require swim caps- 3-4euro if you need one. The campus was absolutely beautiful...excellent views of the countryside! ... 1000yr +old olive trees being planted all over the campus... We were just in awe & would definaty return if fate allows!

The 11 days we spent at Palazzio di Varignana were really wonderful. Good food, great service and excellent facilities. It is set on a hillside with lively views overlooking the plains around Bologna but within reach of San Marino, Imola, Forli and of course Bologna. As a disabled person my wife was looked after fabulously.
