The Rio Sabbioso hostel is located on the hills of Dozza, less than a kilometer from the center, with a panoramic view of the plain. The brand new structure, built with green building techniques, is powered by a geothermal and photovoltaic system. Our accommodations allow you to live in a countryside environment away from stress and at the same time allow you to reach Imola in a few minutes and Castel San Pietro Terme. We offer various accommodation solutions for guests: Ginestra, our studio apartment for 4 people on the first floor with a panoramic terrace, equipped kitchen and bathroom; Melograno, first floor studio apartment for 4 people with kitchen and bathroom; Sambuco, ground floor room for four people, with independent entrance. On the ground floor there is also a dining and breakfast room with fireplace. The hostel has a private garden with stone barbecue, lawn with deck chairs and sun loungers, picnic area, laundry. Available throughout the hotel 5G Wi-Fi and flat screen TV with internet connection. It is possible to book shuttle bus with 8 seats or 18 seats.
The managers, husband and wife, run another hostel in the Casentinesi Forest National Park, where they organize holidays and residential camps for children and teenagers.
The hostel is located in a hilly position with a panoramic view, 700 meters from the center of Dozza, a beautiful medieval village, one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy". In Dozza it is possible to visit the Rocca Sforzesca and the regional wine shop. The town center is a real open-air museum, where you can admire the frescoes on the wall, which are created during the biennial of the "Painted Wall". The Regional Enoteca is also the first stop on the Dozza Wine Trail: a walk of about 6km, which connects some of the best local wineries, nature and history of the area. 15 km away are the thermal baths of Castel San Pietro Terme and the "Le Fonti" Golf Club, a beautiful 18-hole golf course in the fascinating Sillaro Valley. The nearby city of Imola is an interesting destination, with the Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Circuit, the Rocca Sforzesca and Palazzo Tozzoni.
