Hotels in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna stretches across northern Italy, with hot summers (80-90°F / 27-32°C) that bring crowds to the Adriatic beaches of Rimini, and cool winters (30-45°F / -1 to 7°C) that make museum-hopping in Bologna comfortable. The region is world-famous for its food-think Parmigiano-Reggiano from Reggio Emilia and aged balsamic vinegar from Modena-and for the sleek Ferrari and Lamborghini factories you can tour in Maranello during spring or fall. You can explore Ravenna's 5th-century Byzantine mosaics in the quiet winter, then visit Parma's interesting prosciutto caves on a mild autumn day; summer is best for cycling through the Po Delta's nature trails, while winter offers cheaper hotel rates in the food-focused plains versus the coastal resorts.
