This apartment is an ideal place to base yourself when you visit Bologna. Giardina Margherita is less than five minutes away and is perfect for a casual stroll, a seat in the shade or a run if you wish to keep fit. The Porta Castiglione area is a much sought after location and it reminds me very much of a village atmosphere. Everything you would require for your stay is on your doorstep and yet the magnificent city centre is a 10 minute walk away. The apartment itself is clean, tidy and has everything you would expect for your stay. The host, Violante, is very helpful and quick to respond to queries. Automatic check in was extremely efficient and Violante even allowed me to stay for a few more hours after the check out time which was very much appreciated. You won't be disappointed if you stay in Casa Gia Gia for your visit to Bologna.
