Agriturismo Piccola Raieda

Piccola Raieda is a typical farmhouse of the Apennines between Tuscany and Emilia, nestled amidst green pastures and centuries’ old woods. It is situated at an altitude of 500 metres, inside the uncontaminated natural reserve of the “Contrafforte Pliocenico” (Pliocene Spur), just 25 minutes away from Bologna and 50 from Florence.

In our 10 hectares of land we rear horses and poultry and we grow lavender, vegetables and cherries. We also produce a fantastic honey and very tasty marmalades. We are specialised in horseback riding school for beginners and horse riding holidays from one to several days for experienced riders.

Wonderful paths for hiking and mountain biking: maps available in the farm-house.

Our FITETREC-ANTE teachers will take you, with your horses too, to suggestive horseback tours lasting from one hour to several days, inside the “Riserva Naturale del Contrafforte Pliocenico” (Natural Reserve of the Pliocene Spur), the Monte Sole Regional Park and the “5 valli Bolognesi” while, for less experienced riders, there are the enjoyable lessons in the riding stable.

You will also find over 100 km of “real” mountain bike trails; at a distance of about 6 km a golf club boasting a 18-hole course and, for experienced climbers, at a distance of about 2 km the “Rocca di Badolo”.
You can help us in the daily farming activities or simply sit under a chestnut tree to read a good book.

Inside the estate you can visit the trenches of the Gothic line, theatre of the last World War; on the south border of the estate the suggestive “ Grotta delle Fate” (Fairy Cavern) and, at a distance of a few km, Guglielmo Marconi’s Villa and Mausoleum.
Starting from here you can visit in a day: Bologna (25 minutes) with its porticos and suggestive underground canals, Florence (50 minutes) with its museums and works of art but also the Adriatic Riviera (60 minutes), San Marino, Ferrara and Ravenna.
