Elegant and modern two bedroom mansard apartment for vacation rentals in Bologna, located on the third and last floor of a typical medieval building (without elevator) in the historical center, at a few steps from Piazza Maggiore.
Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen and are provided with bed linens and towels. Upon arrival, our staff will be waiting at the apartment to explain how everything works and to hand over the keys. During your stay, our staff is available to address any requests or concerns.
The property of about 100 sqm was completely renovated in December 2017 in order to ensure guests a pleasant stay in a context with a refined and modern style. The air conditioning (split in the central corridor) and the independent heating allow you to always have the preferred temperature, while the latest generation fixtures are designed to maximize the thermal and sound resistance of the windows. The floors are completely covered with an elegant bleached oak parquet. The apartment, being on a high floor and being well insulated, allows you to rest without being disturbed by external noise.
The accommodation opens onto a corridor, illuminated by a skylight, which leads to the various rooms of the house. The bright and spacious living room is located at the end of the corridor and is furnished with a comfortable 3-person sofa that dominates the scene, creating a perfect relaxation area where you can read or watch the 32\" flat-screen TV. The space that opens next to the sofa has been used to create a very pleasant dining area, where a crystal table for 6 people stands out, complete with seats with a minimalist design. Behind the table is a bookcase occupied by an immense collection of CDs and DVDs. The kitchen, which is accessed from the living room, is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, electric oven and coffee machine.
Access to the spacious master bedroom is very choreographic: it is a hand-made and wrought iron decorated window that gives a vintage touch to the atmosphere of the property, where modern design marries delightfully with classic details. The master bedroom is furnished with a comfortable double bed (160 x 200 cm), a sideboard and a chest of drawers.
The second bedroom is located in front of the entrance door and is furnished with a chest of drawers and a double bed (160 x 200 cm). As the room is a mansard, the sloping roof prevents from exploiting the full height of the room.
The last room is the laundry room, complete with a washing machine and some shelves.
An ottoman bed (80 x 195 cm) is part of the facilities and permits to have an additional single bed at disposal.
The bathroom is fitted with black and white tiles, and a shower.
Facilities:
- Internet ADSL with Wi-Fi
- Washing machine, clothes rack, iron and ironing board

A beautiful, well equipped apartment in a perfect central location. Some noise in the evenings from nearby bars but would expect that in the city centre. A lot of steps to get the 3rd floor and no lift but great exercise to work off all the fabulous food and wine in Bologna. We had a very friendly welcome from the young man who met us to hand over the keys and deliver breakfast supplies and other local food gifts - he couldn't have been more helpful.
