Relais Roncolo 1888 | A Heritage Hideaway in the Heart of Emilia-Romagna
If your dream wedding includes terracotta tiles, sweeping vineyard views, and a chilled glass of Lambrusco in handโRelais Roncolo 1888 may just be your perfect match. Tucked into the foothills between Parma and Bologna, this beautifully restored 17th-century estate offers authentic Italian charm with a contemporary twist.
Set within a 320-acre certified organic estate, sustainability here isnโt just a nice-to-haveโitโs a way of life. From solar-powered operations and eco-conscious renovations using traditional materials, to estate-made organic wines and balsamic vinegar, Roncolo 1888 treads lightly while living well. Even the kitchen sources hyper-local produceโsome of it grown right on-site.
Itโs all about slow luxury hereโthink lazy afternoons by the saltwater pool, wine and balsamic tastings in vaulted cellars, and sun-drenched ceremonies with the Apennines as your backdrop. Whether youโre planning a cosy elopement or a celebration with 200 guests, the estateโs elegant courtyards, historic villas, and fragrant gardens provide plenty of swoon-worthy options.
Inside, the 17 rooms and suites are understated and chicโwood-beamed ceilings, vintage furniture, and views over olive groves give the whole place that effortlessly romantic, lived-in feel. Your guests can settle in, sip local wine, and feast on seasonal Emilian dishes at Ristorante Limonaia, the estateโs elegant, glass-walled dining spot.
Getting here is a breeze (just over an hour from Bologna airport), but leaving? Thatโs another story. Relais Roncolo 1888 is the kind of place that makes you want to press pause and stay a little longer.

Transportation
Italy has plenty of public transport, from the trains to the metro in cities like Milan. The roads (and Italian drivers) are notoriously terrifying for foreigners so itโs often better to take a taxi than hire a car.
Public Holidays
Each town in Italy has it's own patron saint and shuts down to celebrate the saintโs day each year (e.g. Rome is Sts. Peter and Paul, June 29th). Alongside Christmas and Easter, the other big religious festivals are Epiphany (6th January) and All Saints Day (1st November). All of Italy celebrates Labour Day (1st May) and also Liberation Day (April 25th).
