Flavors of Northern ItalyAccommodations
Borgo San Donino, Selva Capuzza
September 27 - October 3
Nestled in the serene countryside of Lombardy sits Borgo San Donino, a historic farmhouse retreat on the Selva Capuzza wine estate—also the 1859 battle site of Italy’s fight toward its independence. This picturesque property offers a peaceful escape while remaining within close proximity to the culture-rich Veneto and Emilia Romagna regions.
The farmhouse apartments, winery and nearby restaurant are the result of many years of dedicated work, providing generous hospitality, award-winning wines and exceptional dining experiences to all who visit.
Borgo San Donino’s accommodations are thoughtfully designed to reflect the simplicity and authenticity of rural Italian living, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. Each farmhouse apartment is unique, featuring traditional architectural details such as exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and locally crafted furnishings that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. While televisions are intentionally absent to encourage relaxation and immersion in the tranquil surroundings, guests can enjoy high-quality bedding, well-appointed kitchenettes and complimentary Wi-Fi for added convenience.
The estate itself is a haven for the senses. Stroll through the rolling vineyards where grapes are carefully nurtured for Selva Capuzza’s esteemed wines, or admire the centuries-old olive trees whose bounty is key in producing the estate’s own olive oil. Across the vineyard, the property’s renowned winery and restaurant invite you to indulge in regional flavors—perfectly paired with their selection of red, white and rosé varietals.
Visit the nearby San Martino Tower to admire its majesty from the inside and out. Then follow the tree-lined road to the Chapel of San Martino, which guards those who died in battle.
After each day’s adventures restore your senses amidst the comfortable atmosphere of your apartment—inspired by the beauty of Northern Italy’s landscapes.
