Villa in San Giacomo Roncole with 12 bedrooms sleeps 28

Villa La Modenese
There is a type of venue that does not simply “host” an event: it frames it, protects it, helps it grow. Villa La Modenese is just that: a historic residence of medieval origin nestled in the Modena countryside, built as a fortified tower in the 12th century and transformed over time into a noble residence, retaining the charm of its layered history.
Today, the villa offers a rare balance: architectural heritage, contemporary elegance, spaces designed for high-level events and suite hospitality, with that unmistakable feeling of being in a “real” place, not a location built from scratch. And in fact, everything here is designed for one thing: to make important moments happen without background noise, with the precision of a Swiss watch and the warmth of a great Italian story.
Why Villa La Modenese works so well for business and corporate events
If you are looking for a place for a board retreat, a sales kick-off, an international meeting, a boutique conference or a high-end incentive, here you will find three ingredients that rarely coexist in the same place:
Exclusivity: the villa is always granted for exclusive use, so no “other” guests, no overlaps, no compromises.
Versatile, ready-to-use spaces: four modular rooms for meetings, conventions, cocktail parties and gala dinners, with a technical set-up that saves you the usual hassle of finding suppliers.
High-quality in-house catering: a facility with in-house banqueting and three fully equipped kitchens, designed to handle large numbers of guests with corporate event standards.
The result is simple: you can create an event with an international flavour (agenda, speeches, content, networking) without losing the Italian soul of conviviality, human rhythm and the pleasure of taste.
And let's face it: Modena is a global brand. Here, “Made in Italy” is not a slogan, it is an ecosystem. And it is perfect for events that want to leave a mark, not just a photo.
Rooms and suites: sleep in history, with real comfort
The suites at Villa La Modenese vary in size and atmosphere, designed to ensure privacy, comfort and an authentic connection with the history of the property. Many are housed in the ancient tower dating back to 1100 AD, and this changes everything: you are not “in a hotel”, you are inside a story.
The Major Suite, more intimate and “romantic” by definition, is designed for those who want a highly exclusive experience: independent entrance, generous size, relaxation area, and bathroom with hot tub in addition to a shower. Modern amenities (Wi-Fi, TV, minibar, air conditioning, kettle with a selection of teas and infusions) complete the picture.
This combination is also perfect for events: teams and key guests can stay on site, reducing travel, downtime and (above all) energy dispersion. Your event remains “focused” and therefore more effective.
The spaces: four rooms, a scenic park, and technology ready to go
The villa offers four halls suitable for different formats: plenary sessions, workshops, cocktail parties, and gala dinners. All this is part of a coherent, elegant, and functional facility.
With complete audio-video equipment and a projector, screen (recommended size 3.5 x 2 m), speakers, microphones, control room, mixer, and cabling.
This means you can walk in, set up your equipment, switch it on and get started. Without the usual hassle: “a cable is missing”, “the projector won't connect”, “who has the mixer password?”. Here, we work, and we work well.
The main rooms include, among others:
Hall of Mirrors (ground floor): also suitable for conference set-ups for up to approximately 120 seats in theatre style.
Romantic Hall (first floor): theatre seating for up to approximately 160, or U-shape seating for up to approximately 40.
Summer Hall (ground floor): theatre seating for up to approximately 160, or U-shape seating for up to approximately 40.
Hall of Enchantment (outdoor): theatre seating for up to approximately 300, or U-shape seating for up to approximately 60.
Surrounding everything is a 3,500 m² park with a swimming pool, which becomes a natural stage for receptions, aperitifs, open-air dinners and networking events.
In case of unpredictable weather (and we know that September can sometimes be a gamble), there are modular pavilions that can be adapted to the weather conditions.
Swimming pool with lifeguard, breakfast included, welcome dinner included
Let's make this clear, because it's what customers want to read immediately and without ambiguity:
Continental breakfast included
Swimming pool with lifeguard (on duty during agreed hours, for the safety and peace of mind of guests)
Welcome dinner included
These are details that change the tone of the stay: you are not in “logistics mode”, you are in “hospitality mode”. And an event — whether business or wedding — always starts from there.
Cuisine and banqueting: when the event passes through the palate
Villa La Modenese offers an in-house banqueting service with three fully equipped kitchens, capable of covering different formats: welcome coffee, coffee breaks, lunch, aperitifs, cocktails, dinners and gala dinners.
This is a huge advantage for corporate events: you can create a complete flow (arrival → meeting → coffee break → workshop → aperitif → dinner) with a single gastronomic direction, without interrupting the experience.
The same applies to weddings: consistency, quality, and timing. True luxury, in the end, is not having to “manage”.
Weddings: an elegant, intimate destination wedding that is 100% yours
The villa was created with a clear purpose: Destination Weddings, with a dedicated team, indoor/outdoor spaces, and the promise of a fully personalised experience.
Here, it is the whole package that makes the difference: privacy (exclusive use), scenic grounds, elegant rooms, lighting, logistics and that quality of hospitality that allows the bride and groom to live — not rush.
Villa La Modenese does not just “give you a lawn”. It gives you a world, and makes it yours for as long as you need to celebrate.
Corporate: incentives, team building, anniversaries, meetings
In the documentation, the villa presents itself as a truly corporate-oriented facility: team building & incentives, conferences and meetings, company anniversaries, with attention to secretarial and logistical services as a single point of contact.
In practice, it is a place that does not ask you to invent the method: it already supports it. And for a company, this means a cleaner budget and better results.
In an age when people are tired of cookie-cutter events, Villa La Modenese is an antidote: it has character, and it puts it at the service of content.

Sustainability and identity: beauty that looks ahead
The villa demonstrates a concrete commitment to sustainable practices: a “zero-mile” organic vegetable garden, impact reduction, and a sustainability path with ESG rating indicated in the brochure.
In a corporate context, this aspect can become part of the event's message: not only “beautiful”, but also consistent with contemporary values.
