Irene's apartment in Melograno House was the perfect "home away from home" for a friend and myself during the month of November to explore Bologna and make side trips to other cities in North Central Italy. Both Irene and her husband are truly hospitable and accommodating hosts and our month stay flew by.

The apartment is lovely, tastefully decorated with an exquisite eye for detail, with modern furnishings and fixtures and completely equipped with all household necessities. It's located on the ground floor at the rear of an historic palazzo on a well-lit, safe and quiet street with porticoes and within a 20 minute walk from the historic center of Bologna and university area with museums, extensive and upscale shopping, fine restaurants, cafes, delis, take out and fresh food shops, and wine and sweet shops all offering the most delicious food in Italy. My friend and I have both traveled extensively for business and pleasure but the food in Bologna was the best!

Irene's apartment has my highest recommendation and I would stay again with great pleasure.
