You may recall the Enio Ottaviani Winery from our previous issue. Nestled in the renowned culinary region of Emilia-Romagna and blessed by refreshing Adriatic Sea breezes, Enio Ottaviani offers an exceptional experience for today’s wine enthusiasts.
And it’s not just because of its special Italian wines.
Enio has a holiday home that allows you to live among the vineyards.
Yeppa Studios, the Italian restaurateur group based in Atlanta, Georgia, chose San Clemente to open the cozy, Italian farmhouse-style lodging. Villa Yeppa and Enio Ottaviani Winery stand on the Conca Wildlife Oasis, home to protected hare, boar, silkie, rooster, hoopoe, and pheasant species. Each of the villa’s eight bedrooms takes its name from Conca’s wildlife, furnished with soft earthy tones in natural wood and warm lighting that invites views of San Clemente’s lush greenery. Sleek, contemporary bathrooms are equipped with complimentary toiletry baskets and a plush robe with slippers. An outdoor kitchen provides effortless dining for poolside bites, while the indoor kitchen is open for snacks and coffee throughout the day. The saltwater pool, like every room in the villa, harmonizes with San Clemente’s rolling hills with smooth lines and gentle architecture.
The villa is located near vineyards that face the dazzling blue of the Adriatic’s water. It reveals an Emilia-Romagna most tourists rarely get to see. At Villa Yeppa, you don’t just visit Emilia-Romagna; you live it. Staying at the villa unlocks peaceful bike trails through the Monte San Bartolo nature reserve, day trips to nearby Urbino or Ravenna, and culinary secrets at Emilia-Romagna’s trattorie with Michelin-starred restaurants frequented only by locals, town by town. Guests get exclusive insights into Villa Yeppa’s picks of the region’s best beaches—sunny spots that rarely see summer crowds such as Spiaggia Le Palme and Bagno Mari.
Villa Yeppa offers more than just a place to stay—it provides a gateway to the authentic charm of Emilia-Romagna. Among vineyards and wildlife, this farmhouse retreat invites you to confront not only the realities of the region but of Italy itself. It forces you to slow down. You recognize the gradual beauty of the sunset. You savor your morning caffé a little longer. You finish each meal a little slower. Whether you’re exploring hidden beaches, cycling through nature reserves, or simply unwinding by the saltwater pool, Villa Yeppa ensures that every moment is steeped in tranquility and tradition. Here, the beauty of Italy isn’t just seen—it’s lived.
