Bologna is a wonderful town to explore and Gabriele’s place is right in the heart, an easy walk from the train (great for day trips to Parma, Ferrara & Modena) and close to the famous food markets. Stroll the Market streets and alleys, shop for meats, produce and cheese and enjoy it with a glass of wine on Gabriele’s lovely covered terrace overlooking the rooftops and Medieval towers. As an enchanting bonus, you get to enjoy the lovely Opera and classical music coming from the nearby Music School. The apartment had a small lift which was appreciated as usually an apartment with a high terrace requires many steps. The apartment was well stocked and Gabrielle was a wonderful host and provided us with a detailed list of the best places to drink, dine and shop. There’s a nice enoteca for wine buying just down the street. The apartment is situated in the vibrant University area with many, Apertivo spots, restaurants and shops. But be advised, the students like to gather on warm nights in nearby Piazza Verdi to eat, drink, vocalize and socialize into the early morning hours.
