Relais Roncolo 1888

Relais Roncolo 1888 feels most compelling as a country escape with real substance behind it. Set within the 320-acre Tenuta di Roncolo in the hills of Emilia, the hotel combines historic architecture, panoramic vineyard views, and a softer, more modern sense of comfort that keeps it from feeling overly rustic or too precious. No two rooms are alike, and the accommodations are designed to reflect the estate’s heritage while staying generous, calm, and connected to the surrounding landscape. Dining at Ristorante Limonaia adds real depth, with a seasonal farm-to-table menu rooted in Emilia-Romagna’s culinary traditions and shaped by local produce from the estate and region. What lifts the whole stay further is the wider experience around it, from organic wines, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil to curated experiences across Food Valley and Motor Valley, all of which make the property feel like more than just a pretty place to sleep.

A romantic boutique relais set on a historic wine estate in Emilia, surrounded by vineyards, rolling hills, and beautifully restored residences that feel both elegant and quietly contemporary.

A grand formal manor or a generic countryside resort. Relais Roncolo 1888 is an intimate, design-conscious retreat built for slow living, good food, and a deeper sense of place.

You want an Italian countryside stay with vineyard views, strong food and wine, and a more intimate, polished feel than a larger rural resort.

Sitting down for dinner after a slow afternoon among the vines, with the hills turning softer outside and the whole estate settling into that distinctly Italian rhythm of good light, good wine, and nowhere else to be.
