Sergio’s apartment in Bologna is perfect. It is very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Sergio left a wonderful welcoming gift of wine and crackers that was very much appreciated after a long day day of traveling. Sergio is a wonderful host—provided excellent recommendations, and was immediately available whenever we had questions. The apartment is conveniently located to the train station and to the Piazza Maggiore—an easy walk of 12 minutes to each. We had some delightful meals, climbed the 400+ stairs to the top of the Asinelli Tower (fantastic 360 degree view of city and countryside), and enjoyed a light show and concert in the Piazza. We took one day to visit Parma and Modena—easily accessible by train—and enjoyed all the ‘foodie things’ they had to offer. All in all—splendido. Gracie Sergio!!!
