This is an excellent apartment in terms of ambience, spaciousness, decor, cleanliness and locality. And with Bologna itself offered far more than we had ever expected in terms of a city break. Filippo and Jacopo offered excellent service, answering all pre-visit questions and accommodating requests most kindly. The apartment can take 8 in 3 good sized double bedrooms and a bed settee. Only one shower but the second toilet meant that wasn’t at all a problem for us at this time of year.
The apartment itself is a very quiet building; what little street noise there is given great double glazing certainly did not disturb us. The Coop along the road is amazing - a cheap and cheerful sit in breakfast o-toon and great deli with very tasty lunch and dinner take-away o-toons.
Bologna itself is simply delightful - towers, food, buildings, piazzas and markets all gorgeous and joyous. We loved every minute and would definitely return to this city and this apartment without hesitation. I can’t recommend it enough. We would especially recommend Via Pecherie Vecchie just off Piazza Maggiore for exceptionally tasty regional food.
And Jacopo’s suggestion of the best ice cream shop - on past the piazza on Via Santa Stephano - turned out in fact to be the best cremeria in the world (agreed by all based on our extensive experience to date); in fact our experience there has totally redefined for us how great ice cream should taste!
Also, coming from the airport the Aerobus does stop right outside the building so watch out for that; and it makes sense to get tickets in advance if you can.
