This was a completely chance explore. Driving down the A13 from Pauda towards Bologna we got off the motorway to check out Battaglia Terme and this place loomed up to the left of the road shortly after leaving the 'A' road so it seemed rude not to check the place out. Very little info on the net but Google Earth from December 2011 shows the place already abandoned. Very easy access - this large former motel has been completely stripped of all fixtures and fittings. Hence nothing of note on the inside but a few reasonable snaps mean it merits a report.
Looks interesting!

If The Happy Mondays ever came to this part of Italy you'd kind of expect Shaun Ryder to be hanging off that E if they were doing a photo-shoot:
