I was never met by another host in such a warmhearted way! Lucia was waiting for us with a welcome bottle of wine, fruits and cakes. What we found as a place to stay was much more than we had seen in the pictures. All the decoration is touched by hospitlity and you have the feeling of comfortable and very nice home, all is new, clean and really romantic. She had left for us many small things (all needed and practical) that you do not usually find where you go. The two bikes are more than "a must" to try:-) We found an amazing amount of brochures and travel guides about Bologna left for us in the apartment. It was so easy to get around as if we have been here many times. The apartment is in the heart of the historical center and you can find all you need just next door. For me this place was a surprise one of a kind. I've been travelled around the world, filming a travel TV program for nine years, but can hardly say I had felt so much at home wherever else. I bet you will love the apartment, Bologna and absolutely sure you will love charming Lucia!
