A Restored Hamlet of Distinction in the Hills of Emilia Romagna Nestled amidst the undulating landscapes of the Bolognese Apennines, just a few kilometres from the charming town of Zocca in the Province of Modena, this captivating luxury relais represents a rare opportunity within the high-end property market of Emilia Romagna. Comprising 2 exquisitely restored buildings and set within just under 5 hectares of private land, the estate enjoys an enviable position in a territory once marked by medieval castles and historic battles between Modena and Bologna. Today, that storied past lingers only in the romantic silhouettes of ancient fortifications crowning distant hilltops. Immersed in unspoilt nature and embraced by sweeping views across the rolling Bolognese hills, the property offers an atmosphere of serenity and refinement throughout the year. The air is pure, the silence restorative, broken only by the gentle rhythm of the seasons. This is a place where luxury is defined not merely by architectural excellence, but by space, privacy and the privilege of living within a landscape of extraordinary beauty. The Main Building Extending to approximately 540 sq.m. over three floors, the principal farmhouse was completed in 2020 and reconstructed in accordance with the most advanced anti-seismic regulations. The project achieves a masterful balance between conservation and innovation: the architectural language respects the rural heritage of the original structure, while introducing contemporary elements such as expansive windows and a striking modern metal staircase. The result is a harmonious dialogue between past and present, perfectly integrated into the magnificent natural surroundings. Ground Floor: The ground floor, distinguished by multiple French doors opening directly onto the external terracing, hosts a vast multifunctional hall ideally suited to conversion into a refined restaurant dining room. The space is complemented by two guest WCs, one of which is fully accessible for disabled visitors. Adjacent lies a dedicated area of approximately 30 sq.m., fully prepared for the installation of a professional kitchen. While conceived for hospitality purposes, this level could equally be reimagined as an impressive private living space for a large family seeking generous open-plan interiors. Completing the floor is a self-contained apartment with independent external access, comprising an open-plan living room with kitchen and dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom. This unit lends itself to multiple uses: accommodation for service staff, housing for restaurant personnel, or an additional income-generating apartment alongside the six units located in the second building. First Floor: An imposing architectural metal staircase leads to the first floor, where the private quarters unfold. A breathtaking double-height living area of approximately 100 sq.m. opens before you, incorporating lounge, dining space and provision for a further kitchen installation (systems already in place). Spectacular panoramic windows frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding hills, flooding the interior with natural light. A corridor leads to 2 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, as well as an additional guest bathroom. Second Floor Attic: Ascending the monumental staircase once more, the second floor accommodates a further room, currently fitted out as a third bedroom with its own private bathroom. The building is equipped with underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, with provisions in place for air-conditioning units in the principal rooms. Additional features include mechanical ventilation, a desalinated water system, alarm installation, and latest-generation aluminium window frames fitted with mosquito screens and internal blackout blinds. The structure is fully insulated and entirely anti-seismic. Environmental sustainability has been central to the project: a photovoltaic system of 50 panels generates approximately 15 kW of electricity for the residence, complemented by three additional panels dedicated to domestic hot water production. The estate therefore ensures minimal environmental impact alongside maximum energy efficiency. The Annex The second building is a historic farmhouse of approximately 370 sq.m., meticulously restored during the same period. Every brick and roof tile has been carefully recovered, restored and reintegrated, while the structure itself has been rendered fully anti-seismic. The interior is characterised by a superb designer metal staircase which welcomes guests and leads to 5 of the 6 apartments composing the building. On the ground floor are 2 fully equipped apartments, each comprising kitchen, dining and living area, double bedroom and bathroom. The technical room, accessible externally, completes this level. The internal staircase leads to the first floor, where a third apartment currently used as a suiteis located. The second floor houses the fourth and fifth apartments, both configured as spacious suites with the potential to create independent kitchen areas and fully autonomous living spaces. Also on the first floor, with private external access, lies the sixth and most spacious apartment. Entered through an inviting portico, it comprises an open-plan dining room with kitchen and sitting area, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and an additional storage room. This remarkable piece of architectural heritage is served by an external boiler feeding traditional radiators. The interiors combine fine materials with refined contemporary design details, reflecting the owners’ passion for modern aesthetics seamlessly integrated within a historic shell. The Land The estate is surrounded by 48.298 sq.m. of agricultural land, entirely encircling the property and ensuring privacy, openness and extraordinary potential. The generous grounds provide ample space for the creation of a magnificent infinity swimming pool overlooking the breathtaking panorama. A series of external terraces offer idyllic settings for al fresco aperitifs, sunset dinners and moments of relaxation shared with family and friends, immersed in the tranquillity of the Emilian countryside. The Location Situated in the hills of Bologna, near Zocca, the property occupies a strategic yet peaceful position within one of the most evocative areas of Emilia Romagna. The surrounding hamlets, rich in medieval castles and fortresses, form part of the renowned Unione Terre di Castelli, a territory celebrated for its cultural heritage and scenic beauty. Despite its secluded ambience, the estate benefits from convenient access to Bologna Airport, the A1 motorway and major railway connections, making it easily reachable for both Italian and international travellers. The region is equally famed for its culinary excellence: from traditional handmade pasta to the celebrated crescentina, also known as tigella, a local bread emblematic of convivial gatherings and authentic Emilian hospitality. EPC : Ordered Why Buy It To reside here is to embrace a lifestyle defined by tranquillity, nature and refinement, without renouncing proximity to vibrant cities, cultural landmarks and gastronomic excellence. The property offers remarkable versatility: it may be developed as an exclusive boutique hotel or luxury relais, capitalising on the region’s strong tourism appeal, or enjoyed as an expansive private residence with independent guest accommodation, ensuring privacy for family and visitors alike. This is a rare investment opportunity within Emilia Romagna’s prestigious property market, offering substantial development potential. An additional building volumedivisible into two future structuresmay be realised should expansion of the hamlet be desired. An exclusive retreat for those who seek authenticity, elegance and strategic connectivity in equal measure, this estate embodies the very essence of refined Italian living.

Located in the Historic Center of Bucharest, Kiriazi Hotel is a property of remarkable historical value, set on a 1,015 sqm plot at the intersection of Blănari Street and Băcani Street, in the immediate vicinity of the iconic Hanul cu Tei. The property benefits from a privileged position within the protected Lipscani area — a historic “lipscănie”-type commercial ensemble, unique in Bucharest and rare at a national level — offering direct access to major urban landmarks such as Lipscani Street, Calea Victoriei, Smârdan Street, and Calea Moșilor. The building is configured as basement + ground floor + two upper floors (S+P+2E), comprising commercial spaces at the basement and ground floor levels and leased residential units on the upper floors. These functions have remained consistent throughout its evolution — commercial activity combined with residential and temporary accommodation use, characteristic of the traditional inn-hotel typology. Constructed in its present form between 1882 and 1884, the building is organized around an interior courtyard and features two principal façades facing Blănari and Băcani Streets, preserving a high degree of architectural and compositional authenticity. The parcel has formed part of the city’s historic urban fabric since the 18th century, when it was occupied by Zamfir’s Inn, erected during that period and later owned by the Sărindar Monastery until the secularization of monastic estates in 1863. Analysis of historical sale and redemption documents indicates that Dr. G. Kiriazi initially acquired portions of Zamfir’s Inn through emphyteusis rights, subsequently purchasing the associated land. Following these acquisitions, he established the hotel along the eastern wing of the former inn, oriented toward Băcani Street, with contemporary press references documenting the early operation of Kiriazi Hotel. After successive acquisitions completed by Dr. G. Kiriazi in 1880 and 1882, Kiriazi Hotel was constructed as a representative example of late 19th-century public hospitality architecture. The building operated as a hotel until its nationalization in 1950, after which it was converted into a residential property — a function it retains today. The property holds significant memorial and symbolic value, being associated both with the personality of Dr. G. Kiriazi and with important cultural and social activities of the era. Within its premises operated Ștefănescu’s Tavern, a venue frequented by Mihai Eminescu, while the newspaper Voința Națională also maintained its headquarters in the building. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments (Category B). Historical documents and urban plans confirm that the former Zamfir’s Inn occupied the same footprint as the current parcel, extending along Băcani Street toward Lipscani and adjacent to Hanul cu Tei, disproving theories suggesting the inn had been located on the interwar site currently occupied by Club A. At the time of its inauguration, a description published in România Liberă on February 24, 1884 highlighted the remarkable standards of the period: „Stilul Rennaissance, 2 etage în Centrul Capitalei, lângă Lipscani, (…) avend 59 camere, admirabil iluminate și aerate, 2 prăvălii, 2 pivniți, grajd pentru 8-10 cai, șopron pentru 4-5 trăsuri, (…) telefon și telegraf la fiecare cameră”. Through its exceptional location, documented history, architectural authenticity, and functional continuity, Kiriazi Hotel represents a compelling long-term investment opportunity, offering significant restoration and value-enhancement potential in one of Bucharest’s most important historic districts.

The main entrance leads into a versatile recreational room, currently arranged with a billiard table, a bookcase and a piano, making it a refined yet welcoming space dedicated to leisure and entertainment. A small sofa, tucked beneath the staircase leading to the first floor, completes the ambience of this inviting room, which also enjoys direct access to the portico. The ground floor is further complemented by a bathroom with walk-in masonry shower and a well-appointed laundry room. First Floor: Ascending to the first floor, one enters a beautiful open-plan living area comprising a bespoke kitchen with central island, a dining area and a spacious lounge.

One of the bedrooms also features a charming mezzanine level, providing an additional sleeping area and enhancing the architectural interest of the space. Entirely restored starting in 2018, this remarkable farmhouse boasts high-quality finishes throughout, seamlessly blending traditional Marche craftsmanship with contemporary design. Sustainability has been a guiding principle of the entire project: two photovoltaic systems, installed on the roof and on the external pergola used as parking and charging station for electric vehicles and e-bikes, provide a total output of 7 kW, ensuring energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Heating is supplied by a modern heat pump system and the thermo-fireplace, while the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. The carefully curated interiors reflect the owners passion for restoring antique furnishings and combining them with modern design elements, achieving a harmonious and elegant balance. The Land The property is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden, offering multiple areas ideal for outdoor aperitifs, relaxation and convivial moments with family and friends.
