Laura is a great host and has a very nice and friendly family. We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything is always clean. The breakfast is just great. There is always fresh fruits and some kind of cake available (freshly made by Laura every day!). \nWe can highly recommend this location, and we will be going back there.

During the recent Formula 1 weekend in Imola, I had the pleasure of staying at the B&B Canton dei Peperoni, an experience that turned out to be exceptional in every way. Located just thirty minutes away from Imola, this charming B&B offers a perfect balance of comfort and tranquility, immersed in a serene and relaxing environment. The property is welcoming and well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms that provide everything needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast was a real highlight: excellent and plentiful, with a variety of fresh and local products that made waking up even more enjoyable. Special thanks to the owner, who proved to be super kind and helpful on every occasion. Her attention to detail made me and my friend feel at home. Without a doubt, the B&B Canton dei Peperoni is a place to return to. If you are looking for a quiet retreat away from the city, I highly recommend it.

The Canton dei Peperoni is located in the beautiful Romagna countryside. In a few minutes you can reach Ravenna, Forlì and the main centers of the area. The structure is beautiful, very clean, comfortable. The breakfast, all homemade, is really excellent and the owners are friendly and hospitable. We will include it among our favorite places.

Great Bed and Breakfast, not only for the location (close to the sea of Cervia) but especially for the new and characteristic structure, simple rooms but tastefully furnished and complete with every comfort. Abundant, genuine, and homemade breakfast. Also excellent the kindness of Laura and family for the hospitality and cordiality. We will definitely come back!

The structure is very recently renovated, furnished with taste and personality, kept very clean despite having a garden in front and a courtyard at the back, where you can have meals or let the children explore. Finding faults during our stay at Canton dei Peperoni is very difficult. The breakfast is fresh, abundant, healthy, and includes savory items as well. The bathrooms are comfortable like a 3-star hotel. Every corner is furnished or decorated with creativity and in harmony with the context and spirit of the structure, even the cutlery is very classy. The owner is a kind and caring person, always available for anything, including extra coffee or teas. I have never stayed in a similar B&B, and I have seen much more disappointing 3-star hotels. Of course, the location is not the most convenient if you only want to go to the beach, but 20 minutes by car is easily doable if then you can come back to sleep here in the evening! Highly recommended.

An old farmhouse, very well renovated inside, lounge and rooms. Very rustic on the outside, practically left in its original state. A half-hour drive from the coast (Cervia, Milano Marittima) is the ideal solution to avoid the prohibitive costs of the otherwise anonymous and aseptic coast hotels. On the contrary, the added value of the structure is the kindness and availability of Mrs. Laura. Excellent breakfast, with homemade food and drinks.

Having to find accommodation for 2 nights near Imola, we came across this gem nestled in the countryside of Ravenna. Excellent hospitality from Laura and her family, everything very well-kept and clean. Comfortable rooms in a style that suits the surrounding nature. Fantastic homemade breakfast mostly with organic ingredients. It shines through everywhere the passion put into managing this beautiful structure. Well done, keep it up, too bad we stayed so little. Thank you.

I stayed for the second time, after years, at Canton dei Peperoni and I hope to come back many more times! It's a truly lovely place, as well as very convenient for visiting Romagna, managed with great availability and cheerfulness. A beautiful farmhouse, immersed in the fields. Rooms not so large, but comfortable and impeccably clean. The real strong point, however, is the breakfast, sweet and savory, served in a beautiful room with large windows. A treat that really makes you feel at home!
