The studio is very quiet, with a charming little balcony and very tastefully decorated, very comfortable bed and decent pillows (which you don't find that often...). We liked it so much we even went back "home" early one evening for a bit of sofa time!

The location is very central, with just a 5 min walk to some of the main shopping streets of Bologna and 10 min to the Piazza Maggiore.

Giulio's recommendations were spot on, thanks to him I had some wonderful "tortellini in soup". Even practically next door to the studio there's a small, traditional osteria ("Fantoni") with some wonderful food at very reasonable prices.

Via del Pratello is actually known for it's bars, and parallel to it is Via San Felice, which has some fantastic, independent shops. We couldn't fault the location, and yet, despite all this activity, the studio really is quiet.

It really felt like a home away from home.
