Two well-equipped supermarkets nearby (3 mins’walk), “Il Quadrilatero /Mercato di Mezzo”, very picturesque food market, 5 mins’walk.

“Giardini Margherita” (Bologna’s most famous park is close by (10 mins’walk), “S.Michele in Bosco” (nice park with a great view of the historic center from the square adjacent to the Church) is 10 mins’walk. The large beautiful “Villa Ghigi” in its park in the foothills of the Appennines is about 15 mins’walk, 5 mins by bus.
