This was my first time to Bologna and will not be my last because of Giardino Segreto. It is a special place, beautifully furnished and impeccably clean. The indoor patio looking out into the lush garden was my favorite place to begin and end my day, with a cup of tea and a book. Pier and Anto are among the most lovely of people and the most welcoming, accommodating and responsive hosts. When I arrived, they took time and care to show me the apartment, answer my questions and make recommendations based on my interests. The bottle of wine and piece of parmesan in the fridge was unexpected and well appreciated, especially after my late arrival. The beautiful design, personal art, writing space, music and other amenities added the feeling of home and I enjoyed every moment in this apartment. Its location is most convenient for walking to the city center and many of the cultural and culinary attractions of Bologna. This is a diamond. Highly recommend and will definitely book my next stay here when I return to Bologna with my family. Heartfelt thank you, Pier and Anto for making Bologna feel like home during my brief visit.
