The apartment in Bologna was on the first floor, (an easy flight of two short sets of stairs) of an older building renovated with a new functional kitchen and lovely spacious bathroom. The space oozed character and charm, with its cool terrazzo floors and exposed ceiling beams. Situated in the Quadrilatero, (where the aromas of mortadella, prosciutto and beautiful formaggi tempt the weak) and a stones throw from Piazza Maggiore, the apartment was ‘bull’s eye’ central!! We were there in mid August for 8 days, yes the hot month but whilst we had airconditioning in every room, the apartment remained comfortable and only needed an occasional reboot of cold air. Every room had windows which is always a great plus!
The tiny lane bustled and was never uncomfortably noisy but with windows shut there was no noise at all so we usually left the street window open so that we knew where we were in the world!
We love cooking and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and more! We weren’t expecting to cook but being in the market area surrounded by fresh local products we were able to take full advantage of the kitchen.
The apartment was quiet, comfortable and seriously “sparkling” clean. We whole heartedly recommend the apartment and indeed beautiful Bologna.
