About this property
Wonderful attic with two terraces a few minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore
Beautiful attic a few steps from Piazza Maggiore. Quiet, elegant, of great charm, 150sqm with two private terraces. It is located on the third floor of a beautiful historic building; there is no elevator but we will always be there to help you with the suitcases. The apartment is spread over two floors. On the first floor there is a large living room, an equipped kitchen and two bedrooms with relative bathrooms. Via a delightful wooden spiral staircase, you go up to the second floor where there is another warm and welcoming double bedroom. All rooms are air conditioned. You can enjoy the beauty that can be enjoyed from the largest terrace, sipping a good wine and admiring the cathedral of San Pietro that can be seen in the distance, or relax on the internal terrace, watch a movie or read a book in the main room. Connections to train station and airport by public transport in the immediate vicinity.
The house is located in the heart of Bologna, a minute walk we are in the wonderful Piazza Maggiore surrounded by the most important buildings of the city such as the Palazzo d'Accursio and the Palazzo del Podestà, in front of which stands the Basilica of San Petronio. You can admire the fountain of Neptune and see the two towers that made Bologna known all over the world, the Garisenda tower and the Asinelli tower.

Lovely apartment very central so you can walk everywhere
Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely clean and well equipped apartment. Having the balcony for evening drinks and morning breakfast looking over the rooftops in bologna was very special. Quiet side street but only 2 minutes walk to the main square. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. There are lots of stairs which was fine for us. Highly recommended
Incredible apartment with so many things to offer. Rocco our host was welcoming and open to help us in any way. Loved the central locations, the cozy rooms, all the snacks in the kitchen and the beautiful view from the terrace.Next time I’ll plan to stay longer! Thank you Rocco!
Beautiful property in a great location. Very well appointed with cozy furniture and a well-equipped kitchen. I can’t recommend this place enough. If your travels take you through Bologna, then this is the place to stay
We had a great stay!! Rocco was an amazing host. The flat was exactly as advertised and the host was outstanding and very helpful. We will recommend to all our friends going to Bologna. Super easy access to the quadrilateral and Rocco gave us the best restaurant advice!

Perfect place to stay when visiting Bologna!
If you want to stay in the heart of Centro Historico of Bologna book this beautiful apartment. Tastefully decorated, warm and cozy, with outdoor terrace(s). The kitchen is fully equipped, nothing is missing. We were met by the very friendly and helpful host and fully enjoyed the capital of good, Italian food in beautiful surroundings.
We were visiting beautiful Bologna for several days and were thankful to book this gem of an apartment! It was even better than pictured, very clean and delightfully decorated. The terrace was a bonus and made for a relaxing space after long days of seeing the sights. Rocco was so accommodating and answered any questions we had with promptness. Would love to stay here again!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Oct 2023
Thanks holly for your beautiful review.. it has been a big pleasure to you .. everything was perfect and we had a very good comunication with you .. come back whenever you want ..
The property was located close the city center. We loved how it was furnished and decorated. Rocco was very responsive and arranged a dinner reservation for us. Highly recommend.
First, the hosts are amazing - they went above and beyond to help us out with a couple of things (that had nothing to do with the Vrbo rental!). Second, the apartment is PERFECT for a stay in Bologna. It's beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked. The terraces are wonderful for morning coffee or evening drinks. And the location (right next to Piazza Maggiore) could not be more convenient. Thank you, Rocco & Simona!
We loved the fabulous apartment in historic Bologna. The apartment is charmingly well apportioned, and Rocco is an extraordinarily gracious host. We had dinner on the lovely terrace with a beautiful view of red tile roofs and St Peter's cathedral. I give my highest recommendation and would love to return someday.
This property is absolutely beautiful. The host was amazing! He set up a driver for us last minute along with a cheese factory tour, wine tasting, and a balsamic vinegar tour/tasting. It was the best day on our trip. He also(last minute) helped me set up a private cooking class which was also amazing. We felt like we had a private travel agent working for us. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed and more. We can't say enough about this property and our host!
This apartment is incredible. The location is literally 5 steps from Piazza Maggiore and the apartment is incredibly well appointed. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms have everything you need (including diffusers for the blow dryer!), the kitchen has snacks and coffee stocked, the terrace is even better than the pictures show… this is easily the best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts are amazing too! They allowed us to drop our bags off early, helped us get them up AND down, and even took us to the station upon checkout. If I could give this apartment 100 out of 10 I would. Thank you for everything!
My family and I just returned home from a whirlwind trip to Italy and the UK. While in Italy, one of our stops was Bologna. Initially we were booked in a hotel, but then shifted to looking at short term rentals sites since this was our longest city visit (4 nights). This unit did not disappoint. From the time I booked this with Rocco, it was smooth sailing all the way. Having never been to Europe, I had many unanswered questions and reservations and Rocco answered them all. Communications were swift and on point and Rocco kept my anxieties to a minimum.
As stated in multiple reviews, there are quite a few stairs to climb, but the end result is so worth it! Upon arriving at Bologna Centrale (which is a short 14 minute walk from the unit if you don't have luggage), Rocco met us and helped us carry our luggage up. Once inside, he briefed us on the unit and surrounding area. I had requested some breakfast items which Rocco graciously provided along with beautiful wine and some other wonderful treats. The apt. itself is so warm and cozy. My wife and I sat up early in the morning with candles lit just enjoying the warmth and coziness. The apt is literally a 2 minute walk to the main Piazza and central to everything. Everything was clean and well cared for. The extra touches for the holidays was so appreciated, we truly didn't want to leave. Showers were a tad small (I'm a big guy), but such a minor detail. Also, be forewarned there is a washer, but no dryer so you will be air drying, but again...Minor detail.
If you're looking for a spacious, cozy apt in Bologna centrally located with an an awesome host and hoping to make some good memories, then don't give it a second thought and book today! If our return trip to Italy has us in Bologna, I would not hesitate to visit Rocco and this apt again. We appreciate him so much and all he did for us and the family.
The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed! My family enjoyed their stay so much that they have already started planning a return stay! This apartment is in a perfect location close to everything without being on a busy city street. Rocco was an excellent host providing us with information as well as stocked kitchen.
Everything from the first email from Rocco and Simona thru checkout was perfect. Apartment was spotless and well equipped for guests. Immediate access to the historic center and there is taxi stand 20 meters from the front door to get to places that are too far to walk. Our stay in Bologna could not have been any better. Thank you Rocco and Simona!
Super appart, tres bon emplacement, et super proprio. Il nous a bien aidé, et est très aimable.
L’appartement est très cosy et confortable.
Je recommande vivement!
Great location, Rocco was wonderful. Helped with the luggage(3 flights of stairs). Wonderful deck, comfortable in every way. Clean, well stocked. If ever I come back to Bologna, This will be my home.
Great apartment in super location and wonderful host
This apartment is really comfortable and in a great location in the centre of Bologna. It is really well equipped with everything you need. The main square is one minute's walk away. Rocco is an excellent host. He is very helpful, attentive and his advice and recommendations are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for him. This is definitely one of the best apartments we have used and we can't wait to get back to Bologna again!

Wonderful stay in Bologna
Everything about the apartment was excellent: it is right in the centre with views from one of the two flowery terraces over to the Piazza Maggiore. The owners were really welcoming, helping with booking taxis and advising on the best places to eat and visit. Everything we needed was provided for and more besides. It was excellent value for money and our party of six could not have had a better place to stay. We will definitely come again when we next visit Bologna. Thanks for everything.
