Pio's place is a nice place to stay if you're in bologna. it's about 15 min walk to the central station and 35 min walk to town (or 15min bus which is right across the street). The room is very spacious and exactly like the photos. big comfy bed, huge desk, and lots of closet space.
Pio was a great host. He let me drop off my bags before check in, was very friendly and accommodating. We had nice dinners with the neighbors and he was always offering me food 😁.
If you have the chance, I highly recommend taking his pasta making class. He shows you how to make pasta from scratch step by step and then you get to eat it after! We made classic tagliatelle with ragu and ricotta tortelloni with butter and sage.I was lucky that it was just me, it was like a private session from a true pasta master (he makes pasta for the restaurants and shops in bologna!). It's also very affordable.
All in all a great place to stay if you're in bologna!
