Dit is echt een toplocatie : de ontvangst van Lorenzo, de ligging, het uitzicht, de mooi ingerichte woning. Bologna is de uitvalsbasis om veel andere steden in de omtrek te bezoeken (Modena, Ravenna,...).In de zomer kom je daar na een dagtrip echt tot rust. Het is er ook frisser dan in de zwoele stad. Je kan er ontbijten onder de bomen in de tuin, je kan er de ganse dag tot rust komen met een boek, je kan in de omliggende parken gaan wandelen, je kan te voet vanuit zijn woning naar Bologna: het is wel een stevige trip van 30 min.
Met de vele interessante tips die je van Lorenzo krijgt over zijn stad kan je al enkele dag Bologna vullen.

This is really a fantastic location. Lorenzo knows almost everything about Bologna (history, good restaurants, gelatterie, all types of shops, events ... you ask, he knows). By the way: Lorenzo speaks the best French I've ever heard in Italy and he and his wife are really good at English. That makes communication a lot easier for people like us, with rather limited knowledge of Italian.
It feels good to come "home" every night and to experience the freshness of the garden and the house. And to be welcomed by Pimpa and Bonbon, the two most gentle and well elevated dogs. The kitchen is well equipped an allows you to prepare almost every kind of meal. When you have seen the most important parts of Bologna (can you ever see everything?), you can visit other cultural highlights such as Ravenna, Modena, Firenze, Parma ... It never takes longer than a two hours' drive. The immediate neighborhood allows fine walking tours (see wikilocs for that) of diverse lengths and difficulty degrees. And the possibility that you meet one or other deer is very realistic. We were very happy here and certainly would like to come back.
