Agriturismo Il Granello Farmcamping

via di Bortignano 45 - Località Cà Bortignano di Sopra - Frazione Livergnano - 40065 Pianoro - BO - Italy

Il Granello has been an organic farm since 2008, in the Pliocene Contrafforte Reserve, a wonderful place 40 minutes from Bologna and 1 hour from Florence. Surrounded by woods, very rich nature and unexpected panoramas. Serenity is served!

Between Bologna and Florence, 2 km from Livergnano di Pianoro, suddenly, unexpectedly, a valley in the woods, which surround and protect our fields, apparently isolated from the world.

And at the edge of the fields, we discovered that the woods showed us where to host our two large Glamping tents, 5 and 6 meters in diameter, with their private locations, or the personal tents of those traveling in these parts. The Glamping tents are shaded by trees and furnished with many comforts, double bed, bedside tables, pillows and brunch corner. They are then completed by an outdoor setup including bathroom, shower, hammocks and relaxation pergola.

Our Agriturismo was born in 2023, when we started to offer dishes based on our products and on the products of the Contadini Bio association ( of which we have been part since 2008, vegetables, flours, cheeses, cured meats, wines, beers, Simple dishes, well presented and rich in health and flavors.

This year we take a small step further and begin to welcome with serenity and simplicity those who seek the scent of the fields and woods, the sun and the silence of a small isolated valley ... leaving aside the cicadas, the crickets, the birds singing, the call of the roe deer, the whistle of the buzzard ... ok, sometimes nature is noisy ...

You can get to Granello by car, by bike, by motorbike, on horseback or on foot, leaving the Strada Statale 65 "Futa" at Livergnano, a hamlet of the municipality of Pianoro (BO), and travelling 2km along a well-maintained dirt road, which is also part of an important path of the Italian Alpine Club T5VBO-001, the "Traversata delle 5 Valli Bolognesi".

As in many Apennine areas, the territory is rich in stories and history, culture and nature, which has returned to the forefront. And the Granello seems to be taking back a bit of the role it had for centuries, when it was the Hospitale dell’Eremo di Bortignano, founded around the year 1000, when it welcomed visiting pilgrims.

The farm itself offers many short nature walks to do, starting with the climb to Monte Rosso, at 570m, from which you can enjoy a 360° panoramic view from which you can well understand the meaning of these reliefs in the Etruscan and Celtic era. Then there is the large oak in the woods to visit, the “cave”, the “pulpit of the woods”, take a circular tour along the “path of friends” and finally lie down on the rocky slopes exposed to the south and simply forget the world in front of the panorama.

Around us there are many paths for trekking on foot or by bike, the Red Rose Ranch, a riding school based on Horsemanship, the Savena river to bathe in. By prior arrangement and subject to availability, it is possible to visit the Bortignano Hermitage of our friends-neighbors, a wonderful art collection, perfectly restored to bear witness to the events of the last 10 centuries. And since we are in the Contrafforte Pliocenico Reserve, we cannot miss the many proposals on geological and speleological themes.

The Granello is located exactly on the Gothic Line, site of the bloodiest fighting at the end of the 2nd World War and in Livergnano there is a small museum full of testimonies and finds. At the edge of the embankments of the high field that dominates the southern slope, some defensive structures are still visible, evidence of an era of destruction and pain now replaced by the sweetness of Nature.

Then, within an hour's distance there are the cities of art Bologna and Florence, the Bilancino lake in Barberino del Mugello, the Etruscan and Celtic sites, but then the presentation becomes too long...
