Relais Bellaria Hotel & Congressi

Relais Bellaria Hotel & Congressi is a 108-room four-star hotel at Via Altura 11 bis, in the Saragozza - San Luca hills area on the south-western side of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna. The hilly setting sits above the city, close to the porticoed route that climbs to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, and offers a calmer, greener atmosphere than the station or Fiera districts. Piazza Maggiore is about 4 km away, reachable by taxi or bus in around fifteen to twenty-five minutes, and the setting suits guests who combine sightseeing with time outdoors. The property has a relais-style character, with a private park, a terrace and an outdoor swimming pool that distinguish it from urban hotels. Rooms are double and twin configurations with air conditioning, in-room internet and an in-room safe, and the listing notes accessible rooms and a lift. A restaurant or breakfast room serves the morning meal and dinners, a bar is available, and congress rooms make the hotel a venue for meetings and events. A fitness room is available and bicycles can be used, which suits the hilly surroundings and the nearby paths. Parking is listed and pets are accepted. Service combines congress-hotel efficiency with a leisure feel, and the staff cater to groups, families and independent travellers. Rates typically fall in the €110–250 per night range and rise during major events. Visitors can reach the centre to see the Two Towers, Piazza Maggiore and the Basilica di San Petronio, then return to the quiet hillside for a swim in summer. The porticoed walk to San Luca, one of the longest in the world, is a signature outing for guests staying in this area, and trattorias nearby serve tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragù.
