We had an absolutely great stay at La Casa di Barbara and will be very happy to stay there again next time. We can warmly recommend the apartment - the style is fabulous and one can easily see/feel, how much thought has been put into all the details.
It is very easy to either walk or take a bus to the city centre and for us - coming by car - it was great to have plenty of safe parking possibilities on the street.
The apartment is really big, super clean and has a lovely, homey feel. It was great to unwind in between our sightseeing and other activities. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Bologna, our favourite pastime was Gelato-testing... there is no shortage of excellent places in this city. People in Bologna take Gelato and other food really serious - Barbara + Franco have a great selection/tips of places plus of course it is much fun to discover the different areas and foodie-places of Bologna by foot or bike.
Communication with Barbara and Franco was perfect - they are lovely, warm and incredibly nice hosts.
We might have to ask Barbara next time for her expert-advise on furniture and interior shopping in Bologna and else :-)
