Hotels in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna sits in northern Italy, between the Po River and the Adriatic Sea, with a climate that swings from hot summers (around 86°F, 30°C) to chilly winters (near 32°F, 0°C). This region is world-famous for its food-think Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto di Parma, and traditional balsamic vinegar from Modena-and for being the heart of Italy's motor valley, where you can tour Ferrari's factory in Maranello. In spring and fall, you can join cooking classes in Bologna or bike through the vineyards of the Romagna hills, while summer is perfect for sunbathing on Rimini's sandy beaches along the Adriatic, and winter offers a chance to explore Ravenna's stunning 5th-century Byzantine mosaics inside indoor basilicas.
