The location of this place is the best. We were central to all of it, and the place was incredibly comfortable. Everything is modern ,and it fits well with one of Italy's best cities - Bologna. They send you a guide book before your stay so you know of everything in the area. If I can add to that guidebook, I'd say... consider taking a bus or walking to/from Bologna centrale. The city is covered in porticos so it's a shaded walk. If you opt to bus anywhere, get tickets beforehand... we tried to hop on to a but but were told tickets are sold elsewhere and we couldn't pay coin/cash. Restaurants along or near the piazza are all amazing... you can't really go wrong. My favorite restaurant was Ristorante Da Cesari - - it's family owned, and you will feel that warmth when you go to eat there. And don't forget to have lambrusco everywhere you go!!! Thank you for a great stay Federico - out of all the cities we visited in Italy, we know we will be back for another stay in Bologna.
