Reviews

A historic palace surrounded by nature and tranquility

Built as a hunting manor and summer retreat, Ca’ Palazzo Malvasia still preserves the understated elegance of grand country residences.
The property stretches across a plateau overlooking the Bolognese hills, surrounded by a private park inhabited by deer and squirrels.

The presence of the 13th-century Medieval Tower further enhances a property already rich in charm, making the palace a living testament to the history of the region.
