Immersed in the gentle hills of the Bolognese Apennines, the Rifugio del Volpe discreetly blends into a small village gathered around a little square, at about 500 meters altitude. This place preserves the authentic breath of nature intact, offering an essential and unpretentious environment designed for those seeking an experience outside the norms of traditional hospitality. Here, time seems to slow down, suspended between the silence of the woods and the pauses marked by the birdsong, in a landscape that invites a rediscovery of the natural rhythm of the seasons.
The facility caters to independent travelers and hiking enthusiasts, lovers of simplicity and direct contact with the territory. Without sacrificing a certain informality, Simonetta's hospitality is based on mutual respect and the enhancement of an essential atmosphere of friendliness, where guests can feel at ease in an authentic and welcoming setting. The spaces, shared with care, foster a dialogue with the environment and offer a discreet but attentive support point, in line with a model of sober and sustainable hospitality.
The opportunities offered by the surrounding territory are multiple and varied: walks among centuries-old chestnut groves, trekking through unspoiled valleys, mountain biking routes, and moments of relaxing contemplation amid rural landscapes. The proximity to Riola di Vergato, reachable via the historic Porrettana railway line, allows one to discover corners of culture and nature that complement the offerings of Rifugio del Volpe. Places like the Rocchetta Mattei, the Regional Park of the Lakes of Suviana and Brasimone, or the Porretta Terme thermal baths enrich the experience without compromising the quiet and simplicity that characterize this little-known part of the Emilian Apennines.
In this rustic oasis, where luxury is measured in the authenticity of simple things, the Rifugio del Volpe offers a stay made of transparency and genuineness, perfect for those wishing to find silence, fresh air, and the most natural dimension of travel, far from conventional routes and mass tourism.
