Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna — a region worth exploring

Emilia-Romagna stretches 280 kilometres along the ancient Via Emilia, a Roman road built in 187 BC that still forms the backbone of the region's transport network today. From the food capital of Bologna to the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna, this northern Italian region rewards slow travel like few others. The Piazza del Duomo in Parma, the medieval towers of Bologna, and the Malatesta Temple in Rimini each tell a different chapter of Italian history. Drive 130 kilometres south-east from Modena to reach the wetlands of the Po Delta Regional Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where flamingos wade through shallow lagoons. Head inland and the Apennine foothills rise gently, offering winding roads through chestnut forests and thermal springs near Salsomaggiore Terme. The region is also home to Italy's Motor Valley, where Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Ducati all have their headquarters and museums within easy reach of one another. For food lovers, the towns of Parma and Modena alone produce Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and traditional balsamic vinegar. Travelling by campervan gives you the freedom to follow your appetite from one producer to the next, while a motorhome offers extra comfort for longer stays. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across Emilia-Romagna, choosing from a wide range of vehicles that suit your group and your route perfectly.

Best time to visit

Emilia-Romagna is wonderful from late spring through to autumn. May and June bring warm, settled weather ideal for exploring the Apennine foothills and the Adriatic coast by campervan. Summer is peak season along the Riviera Romagnola, and booking early on Yescapa helps you secure the best choice of vehicles from local owners at competitive peer-to-peer prices. September is perfect for food festivals — the Festa del Prosciutto di Parma typically runs in early September, celebrating the region's most famous cured meat. In October, Emilia-Romagna hosts the Motor Valley Fest in Modena, a must for motoring enthusiasts. Motorhome hire outside July and August often comes with quieter roads and more relaxed campsite availability.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna's main motorway is the A1 (Autostrada del Sole), which runs through Bologna, Parma, and Modena. Tolls apply on most motorways and are paid at exit barriers by card or cash — keep your entry ticket safe. The A14 follows the Adriatic coast from Bologna to Rimini. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes have a lower speed limit of 100 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on secondary roads. Rest areas with dedicated campervan and motorhome parking are well spaced along major routes. Some mountain passes in the Apennines have height or weight restrictions, so check signage before heading into the hills with a larger vehicle.

overall everything was good

Antonia Carina
5 / 5

Borja y Anna han sido unos anfitriones estupendos. La camper es exactamente como aparece en las fotos y, para su tamaño, está súper bien equipada. La cama es muy cómoda, al igual que las almohadas, y la comunicación con ellos fue siempre muy rápida y fácil. Todo fue súper sencillo y sin complicaciones. El mismo día de la devolución, solo media hora después, ya tenía la fianza de vuelta en mi cuenta bancaria. También fue genial el traslado desde el aeropuerto hasta la camper y de vuelta al aeropuerto. Borja fue súper flexible con los horarios, algo que agradecí muchísimo. ¡Sin duda lo recomiendo y volvería a alquilar con ellos! 😊

The caravan was in excellent condition, and there was more than enough space for our trip as two people travelling with our dog. It had all the amenities we needed, including a microwave, a two-burner gas stove, and, of course, a fridge with a freezer. We also had hot water, while the solar panel system gave us peace of mind regarding the batteries. The interior layout was very well designed, allowing us to fit all our belongings in a practical and convenient way. The van was also equipped with all the essentials needed for a long, multi-day trip. We travelled through the Costa Brava and the mountains of Catalonia, experiencing very different weather conditions and challenging driving environments, and we had absolutely no problems at all. The owner, Isabel, was extremely kind and helpful. She spent plenty of time with us at the beginning to answer all our questions, and throughout the trip, whenever we needed her help, even in the middle of the night (sorry Isabel!!!), she replied to our messages almost immediately. Overall, our experience was excellent, and we would highly recommend this caravan without hesitation!

Autocaravana muito espaçosa e com tudo que é necessário para passar uns dias impecáveis. Limpa e perfeitamente funcional. O Paulo e a Bruna são um casal fantástico, muitos atenciosos e de uma simpatia imensa. Voltarei certamente a alugar-lhes a autocaravana
