I found THE place to stay for access to everything in the center of old Bologna. It was furnished in a modern style, and the rooftop patio was outstanding. The bed was comfortable and the super high ceilings, natural light and views from both the patio and the main floor made it feel like I'd found a little Bologna oasis. There was an elevator, which was tremendously helpful for luggage and it was incredibly private. Unfortunately, the nightly rates were inflated 150% for the time I was there, and I'm not surprised. I was attending for the International Bologna Children's Book Fair. I think for the regular rate, it's outstanding. I was originally going to share the flat with another person, who had to cancel and I decided to stay anyway. The owners are fantastic, helpful, quick to reply and I would absolutely stay there again.
