Anzola dell'Emilia is situated halfway between Bologna and Modena and is surrounded by several waterways which contribute to the abundant harvests of the neighbouring countryside. Thanks to its idyllic geographic position, it has been settled since the Neolithic, as evidenced by the numerous archeological finds it cherishes.

This charming town is the ideal tourist destination for people looking for relax and tranquillity. Both cheap and three-star hotels give visitors the possibility to visit the small centre, to stroll along its streets and to taste traditional specialities.

The Castle, which is easily accessible from all the hotels in Anzola Emilia, is worthy of note. The well-preserved tower and hospital bear witness to the original structure commissioned by the Signore of Anzola before 900 A.D. The opposite parish church, named after the patron saints Pietro and Paolo, originated from a IXth-century building. A 3-kilometre-long walk starting from the city centre where most hotels of Anzola Emilia are situated, leads visitors to the summer residence of the bishops of Bologna dating back to the XIVth century. This area is the ideal destination for nature lovers and the lovers of the renowned cooking from Emilia, featuring tigelle, tortellini, sliced meats and salami and cheese. Many hotels in Anzola Emilia offer half or full board accommodation and give guests the possibility to have lunch or dinner based on local products cooked according to traditional recipes.
