Antico Convento San Francesco

Antico Convento San Francesco in Bagnacavallo gives you a stay inside the town’s oldest convent building, with the medieval center around you rather than across town. It is a hotel, and the setting is the useful thing here: the complex includes a church, a wide monastery building, a cloister, a monumental staircase, exhibition spaces, and event rooms.

The rooms keep the old-convent setting but are set up for hotel stays, with comfort rooms dedicated to the local area and multiple rooms with bunk beds. Some rooms have a bed and two windows, while others have a bed against a wood-paneled wall. Breakfast is available as a buffet by reservation, including for outside guests. The bar runs from Thursday to Sunday, and in summer the cloister is used for events, wine, and music, so the place can feel active as well as historic. Bagnacavallo station is about 700 meters away, a walk of less than 10 minutes, and the hotel is on Via Luigi Cadorna.
