Gabriele’s apartment is in a marvellous location in the historic centre of Bologna. It was spotlessly clean, with enough facilities for us to make a simple lunch to eat on the fantastic outdoor terrace, with its fourth-floor views over the city roofscape towards the famous twin towers. It soon felt like our home. His suggestions for places to eat, for ice cream and interesshops to buy our salami and cheese were all excellent. We will be recommending Bologna, and in particular this apartment, to our friends as an idea short stay in this great city.
