This apartment is one of the nicest places we have stayed in our many trips to Italy. The outside of the building is nice but when you get inside, the traveler will be overwhelmed with the beauty of the interior, how incredibly over-equipped it is, how many extras there are. It is a convenient location, parking is behind a gate with remote, the garden is large and beautiful. Compared to other places we have stayed, the value is also note-worthy. You will feel like you are staying at a first-class hotel with a huge amount of space, furnishings, etc. Kitchen is more than functional - it is well-stocked, full sized refrigerator, large laundry room, and a selection of new DVDs and books to keep you busy for weeks if you are not roaming around Bologna which is only steps away. Everything is new and also beautiful.
