Ca' Inua is a magical place to reconnect with the wonder of Mother Earth.

25km from Bologna, an old renovated wooden barn hosts a design apartment that dominates a breathtaking landscape with a panoramic view of the Apennines and its woods.

The greenery, the wind, and the open spaces to live and contemplate are ready to welcome you together with Alessandra and Ludovico's family for a unique experience of listening to yourself and the majesty of Nature.

The space

In a self-built renovated barn from the late nineteenth century, a 100m2 loft is ready to accommodate up to 6 guests.

Large panoramic windows with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the wood used for the renovation are the elements that most characterize the space that offers a fully equipped kitchen, a double bedroom with private bathroom, two comfortable sofa beds in the open space where there is a second bathroom, a large modern table and a decorative fireplace.

Guest access

Alessandra and Ludovico's house is adjacent to the loft, the interior spaces of the house are mainly for family use while many of the outdoor spaces will be shared.

We will take care to guarantee you privacy and tranquility during your stay but for us hospitality is also an opportunity for socialization and we will be happy to interact with you if you wish.

Other things to keep in mind Our family is made up of Alessandra and Ludovico, Gea and Flora are our daughters aged seven and two; Sheeta is our dog, a three-year-old female Lagorai shepherd; Kiki and Ponyo are our two cats, mother and daughter; the family is completed by thirteen funny chickens and two hives of wonderful bees.

You can decide to cook at home or in the comfortable outdoor kitchen or you will have the possibility of using the barbecue independently.

For stays longer than two nights you can agree with your hosts to use the wood-fired oven to make pizza.

For stays longer than two nights, a heated larch wood bathtub with a view of the mountains is available to relax in after a day of trekking or to escape the summer heat.

ACTIVITY

Dinner in the garden

[from late spring]

A dinner set up outdoors, under the stars and in the middle of our synergic vegetable garden, with a tasting menu prepared using only our own products or produced within a few kilometers of Ca'Inua by producers we know personally

Wild medicinal and edible herbs

A walk through the fields and woods of Ca'Inua together with Alessandra to learn and discover the characteristics and virtues of many of the spontaneous plants that grow in Ca'Inua, their uses and suitable times for harvesting.

During and after the walk you will build your personal herbarium together.

Pizza night

[from late spring]

at Ca’Inua we have a beautiful clay oven that churns out excellent pizzas prepared entirely with local products, from the flours for the dough to the ingredients to put on. It is possible to choose between three possibilities:

  • “like in a pizzeria” you simply sit down and enjoy a certain number of pizzas at your discretion
  • “omakase” same thing but we choose the flavors of the pizzas for you and you share them as you wish.
  • “like the pizza chef” in this case you will help us prepare the dough, choose and prepare the toppings and finally roll out, season and bake the pizzas, the complete experience.

Star Walk

[from late spring]

A night walk in the woods, a bit of a thrill, thousands and thousands of stars.

Night in yurt

[from late spring]

In the chestnut grove of Ca'Inua stands a magnificent original Mongolian yurt. The structural characteristics of the yurt make it an ideal place to immerse yourself in a harmonious and contemplative silence and sleep in a space completely free of electronic instruments and electromagnetic fields. You can enjoy a magical night, watching the stars through the transparent dome, sleeping on the Japanese futons and waking up to witness a wonderful sunrise from the small terrace oriented towards the sunrise.

It is also an experience suitable for families with children, in this case you will know whether to replace the silence with curiosity and the desire to discover the little ones!

Small DIY fresh pasta workshop

[from late spring]

You are in Emilia, the kingdom of fresh pasta, you will have already tasted (or will very soon) some typical dishes based on fresh pasta... why not try your hand at making it then! Will it be the same? Improve? Not exactly? It will be delicious, because you made it!

Wild day in the woods

In Ca'Inua’s woods there is a base camp, created and organized to give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wildest part of... yourself.

Accompanied by Ludovico, you can choose between two slightly and profoundly different experiences.
