The estate is located in Mincio park, around an 18th century mill. A San Girolamo monastry with a cloister and a church with nave wase situated here until 18th century. The estate borders on Mantova’s lake superiore and is positioned at the beginning of a cycle path which winds for 40 km along the embankments of the river Mincio to Peschira on Garda lake. Foxes, hedgehogs, herons, more-hens, coots and nightingales roam the estate undisturbed.
Nearby, there are stables and riding grounds, swimming pools and facilities for sports fishing. Bicycles are at guests' disposal for excursions and trips around the area.
Who never dreamt of flying when a child? Who never was spellbound by those fabulous coloured hot-air balloons that make your dream come true? Who never wanted to get on a basket and be carried away by the wind as in a fable?
A flight on a hot-air balloon is an unforgettable experience, which San Girolamo Farm House is pleased to offer you.
You will rise higher and higher! You will fly over the country landscapes or over the marvellous views of the town of Mantua and... no one will know your destination.
Only the wind will know where it's carrying you silently and quietly.
After an hour you will land in a field where the Sorvolare staff (of the aerostatic association located in Crevalcore-Bologna) will take you and the balloon on board of a big motor vehicle (which will follow you during your flight) and drive you back to the Farm House, where you could rest in a comfortable room with bathroom. After taking a rest you can have a breakfast (if your flight took place in the morning) or have an evening snack (if you travelled before sunset).
A flight on a hot-air balloon can be a wonderful
present for a birthday or an anniversary, or simply a pleasant entertainment during your stay in San Girolamo Farm House.
The basket can hold 4 people plus the pilot. On request, it is possible to arrange a flight with more than one balloon.
Perhaps each of us hides a secret desire to get on a balloon and fly away... Please feel free to contact the Farm House for any further information.
