See & Do

See & Do
There's plenty to keep nature lovers busy here: you're surrounded by some of the loveliest countryside in Italy. Make a beeline for the Montesole historic park (built in memory of the Nazi massacre in 1944) for a walk, ride or cycle. Motor racing fans can make a pilgrimage to Modena, the home town of both Ferrari and Pavarotti. If you're short of inspiration your hosts will happily organise wine tasting and other excursions for you.
