This was a really good find. Stay here. It’s central, quiet, very comfortable and stylish. The light is good, it is very airy, the apartment is spacious and well equipped. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Nice bed linen and towels. Everything in the kitchen worked for us. Loved the shower heads and wide basins. Lots of contemporary and convenient lighting.
It is an easy and short stroll (10-15 minutes) into the centre of Bologna - all along wonderful Bolognese colonnaded streets and small shops and cafés. So much to see. Stunning buildings and places to just sit and drink coffee and see the world go by.
The ground floor apartment is in a quiet courtyard on one of those colonnaded streets. In one direction there are a couple of coffee shops - we loved the libraria coffee shop and wine bar. In the other direction round the corner is an unbelievably good gelateria. The chocolate ice cream is second to none. There are nice local bars on Via Rialto and Via Castiglione too.
The recommendations of cafés and restaurants and other places to visit was very helpful. We tried some of the places and had some of the best pasta one can eat. Tip: arrive soon after opening time or you won’t get a table.
Will we ask Elisa and Paolo if we can stay again? Absolutely. If you are smart enough to be going to Bologna, you will be happy you booked this place.
