About this property
UR-NEST Testoni, Elegant and quaint two bedroom
CIN: IT037006C2QRSXUIQV
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
- Dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster
- AC through a split in the central hall
Important: guests are required to pay a tourist tax not included in the price (€ 4,60 per adult, per night. It is applied only on the first 5 nights).
Area:
The apartment is located in the heart of Bologna historical center, in the area surrounding Piazza Maggiore (S. Petronio church - one of the most important churches of the world -, Palazzo D’Accursio, Museo Morandi, Palazzo Re Enzo, Museo Civico), Piazza Nettuno with the beautiful fountain by Gianbologna and the former Sala Borsa, seat of an important multimedia library, and the Two towers, dating back to 1100. This is the fulcrum of the city and in the vicinity is a myriad of alleys with colorful street markets, pubs, trendy nightspots and typical or historical shops.
Close to the apartment is an elegant restaurant, renowned for char-grilled fish and meat, one of the most famous bar-patisseries of Bologna, various shops (among which a pharmacy at the corner with Via Ugo Bassi) and a supermarket at about 200 m.
Public transportation:
In Piazza Malpighi and in Via Ugo Bassi there area various bus stops, leading directly to the Exhibition Hall, to Bologna train station and to the international airport of Bologna.
Parking:
The apartment is within the restricted traffic area (ZTL) and an access-ticket is required. You may park in the street, on the places indicated with blue stripes, free of charge on Sundays and every night from 20:00 to 8:00; and upon payment (red parking meter) during the day.

Pets:
Pets are allowed (€ 20+VAT per night, limited to the first 5 nights).
