Just come back from a 5 week stay at this property.
Highly recommended!
Marco was an excellent host (to the extent that he rebuilt the bed to cater for a bad back!). His family also lived nearby and where available to help or give advice on the local area.
The apartment is nice, very clean, comfortable, A/C was strong (a real plus in the heat of Bologna's summer!), all round very pleasant and easy to spend time in. The real jewel in the crown is the terrace - very large, also offering shaded area so very easy to spend a lot of time there!
The area was perfect - via del pratello has a lot going on (that said, with 3 doors 2 passageways and a garden separating the apartment from the main street, the property is so peaceful you wouldn't know you were anywhere near the city centre!) - a very nice 10m walk to Plazza Magiorre, loads of restaurants, bars, shops within minutes.
We plan to go back to Bologna and without question will stay here again.
Worth also noting, during your stay:
- Eat at Pasta Fresca Naldi… 3 minutes walk and the best pasta I have eaten, at shockingly good prices
- Take your morning coffee from Aroma coffee shop... 5 minutes pleasant walk past San Francesco church - best coffee in Bologna (and at 1.60e for a cappuccino excellent prices too!)
- Bologna is an excellent place to explore the rest of the region from, with the station being very well connected (and 20m walk from the apartment)…. consider using it as a base to explore the area from
Hope you enjoy the property and the city as much as we did
