Simone's mother Francesca made us extremely welcome, especially as we didn't arrive till nearly midnight! We were both impressed with the stylish layout of the flat especially the upstairs bed area. The heating was generous and there was unlimited hot water, a washing machine and even a dishwasher - also excellent Wi-Fi. The flat was amazingly central and the piazza Maggiorre just 10 minutes walk away. The Enzo restaurant directly opposite was very convenient and good value. On the eve of our anniversary Simone and Francesca left us two bottles of wine to celebrate! Bologna rail station is a short bus ride away and we managed two excellent day trips one to Moderna and one to Ferrara.
