A hidden, family-run camper spot in the hills of Italy
Cascina Mottainai is pleased to have you on board! In this completely off grid site, you can stop one or more nights with your tent or your minivan. The spot is located on the first hills outside Bologna, at 200 meters in height, along the border with the Natural Park of Gessi and Calanche. It is a family-owned and run spot, and their land is able to host up to four camping vehicles at a time. Since the camping spot is located at the end of an uphill dirt road, it is easier for smaller campers to access, and the very largest mobile homes my find it a little challenging! As such, the length of vehicles is restricted to 6 metres. When staying here, you have guaranteed silence, no traffic, no light pollution, and many wild animals to observe.
