Description
Just a few minutes from the historic center of Bologna, nestled in the heart of the Parco dei Gessi, the largest karst park in Emilia Romagna, and surrounded by a splendid private garden, there is a small, ancient village finely restored and consisting of a rare noble residence. This residence once served as the holiday home of Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro, a prominent figure who lived between the late 1800s and the first half of the 1900s, well-known for his great passion for architecture. The manor house, characterized by charming arcades and beautiful Venetian mosaic floors, extends over two above-ground floors and consists of a grand entrance hall on a loggia over 5 meters high.

In the park, there is also a small and charming private lake.
