Great place to stay! Love the outdoor garden space. Location is super convenient to the city center - wish we would have stayed another night. The host was so nice - we had train issues getting to Bologna and they were very understanding. Highly recommend!

Vittorio was extremely helpful with our stay, he told us where we could store our luggage very close by so we could stay and have lunch in town and walk around some more before leaving. This apartment is located in a perfect part of the historic district. Easy walking to all sites and restaurants. One of the best little gems in Italy.

A friendly and helpful host, and the location was in perfect. Beautifully decorated, stylish and plenty of space, the only area for improvement was the bath plug was faulty so unable to have a bath, only a hand held shower that made it difficult to use, would have loved a cold shower on this heat. Despite this would recommend this property and host.

Excellent apartment close to Piazza Maggiore, and all that Bologna has to offer. My only suggestion, would be a shower curtain or glass partition on the tub. Having to sit to wash off is not convenient. However, that said, I would highly recommend this stay without hesitation.
