The Experiences

A different way from traditional tourism.

Experience, engagement and word of mouth are the engines that keep the tourism industry going today. The contemporary traveler wants to be an active user who participates in writing the story of their vacation. This is why we offer our customers not only an excellent catering and accommodation service, but we give them the opportunity to fully experience our land.

By choosing Al Vecchio Convento, you will be able to experience the village of Portico from within and immediately become part of it, take part in our cooking classes and truffle hunting, discover the area with tastings of wines and typical products in trusted farms.

Hotel Our "Albergo diffuso".

Al Vecchio Convento is an Albergo Diffuso, which best can be translated to “Spread out Hotel”, situated in the historical centre of a medieval village, Portico di Romagna, in the Appennine hills between Florence and Ravenna in Tuscan Romagna.

Staying in a spread out hotel means living the town from within, having as neighbors the houses with the local inhabitants and not just hotel-rooms with tourists. Living with the village also means leaving behind stress and letting yourself being absorbed by the more relaxed rythm of local life.

Restaurant Top quality local products.

In our restaurant we re-propose and elaborate the typical Romagnole cuisine, elaborated by the expert hands of Matteo.
