La Molinella garden suite apartement

Step into this Formigine hideaway for 4, just minutes from the historic Castle and surrounded by self-catering ease. A ground-floor family base, the apartment's living space is designed to spill straight into the garden. The open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a rust-orange corner sofa and a solid wood dining table, and full-height glazed doors fold the room out onto the garden rather than shutting it off.

The adjoining kitchen keeps the same pared-back palette and a full run of appliances, an induction hob, oven, dishwasher and toaster, plus a Smeg kettle and coffee machine left stocked with welcome capsules for the first morning. Outside, a private, fully fenced garden takes over as the real living room in good weather, with an outdoor table and chairs set up for long, unhurried lunches in a genuinely private, sun-filled spot. It's perfect for remote workers exploring the Emilia-Romagna region, with free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV and a laptop-friendly workspace at your disposal.

Location

The apartment sits on a quiet residential street just a 10-minute walk from Formigine's train station and its medieval castle, a fortress with an archaeological park and interactive exhibits worth an hour or two. A shorter walk, closer to 5 minutes, reaches the cafés and pastel-fronted squares of Piazza Calcagnini and Piazza della Repubblica, along with a good choice of restaurants and a supermarket for self-catering.

Formigine also puts guests within easy reach of Italy's Motor Valley. The Maranello Ferrari Museum is a 10-minute drive, with test drives available nearby, while the Enzo Ferrari Museum and Modena's UNESCO-listed historic centre, home to its Cathedral, Piazza Grande and Torre Civica, are both a 20-minute drive. For a slower pace, the Colombarone Oasis nature reserve, with its ponds, poplars and walking trails, makes for an easy picnic trip in that same 10 minutes. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is around a 30-minute drive away.
