We'd heard about the exceptional food in Bologna so decided to stop on the way from Venice to Rome. No disappointments as we had memorably delicious local specialties thanks to recommendations and explanations from our host Maurizio. He welcomed us warmly and couldn't have done more to make our stay so enjoyable. Great restaurant and sightseeing advice. Maurizio's older style and comfortable apartment is in a perfect location, just 10 mins walk from the beautiful city centre - we walked often and enjoyed the historic buildings and streets, the food markets and shops. Lots to do there and Bologna is also a great base for exploring nearby cities - we did day trips by train to Florence and Modena. The station is easily reached as there is a bus stop at the end of the street. This is a friendly and well positioned place to stay. Don't miss Bologna!
