La Molinella garden suite apartement, Formigine, Italy

Step into this Formigine hideaway for 4, just a few minutes from the historic castle and close to all amenities. A ground-floor family base, the apartment\'s living space merges straight into the garden. The open-plan living and dining area features a rust-orange corner sofa and a solid wood dining table, and full-height glazed doors bring the room out into the garden rather than shutting it off.

The adjoining kitchen keeps the same pared-back palette and a full range of appliances: an induction hob, oven, dishwasher and toaster, plus a Smeg kettle and coffee machine stocked with welcome capsules for the first morning. Outside, a private, fully fenced garden becomes the real living room in good weather, with an outdoor table and chairs set up for long, unhurried lunches in a genuinely private, sun-filled spot. It\'s perfect for remote workers exploring the Emilia-Romagna region, with free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV and a laptop-friendly workspace at your disposal.

Location
The apartment sits on a quiet residential street just a 10-minute walk from Formigine\'s train station and its medieval castle, a fortress with an archaeological park and interactive exhibits worth an hour or two. A shorter walk, closer to 5 minutes, takes you to the cafés and pastel-fronted squares of Piazza Calcagnini and Piazza della Repubblica, along with a good choice of restaurants and a supermarket for self-catering.

Formigine is within easy reach of Italy\'s Motor Valley. The Maranello Ferrari Museum is a 10-minute drive, with test drives available nearby, while the Enzo Ferrari Museum and Modena\'s UNESCO-listed historic centre, home to its Cathedral, Piazza Grande and Torre Civica, are both a 20-minute drive. For a slower pace, the Colombarone Oasis nature reserve, with its ponds, poplars and walking trails, makes for an easy picnic trip in that same 10 minutes.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is around a 30-minute drive away.
