Our stay at Franco & Barbara's chic apartment was fantastic!
We had explored Bologna and wanted to stay in a local district close to the train station which had a great vibe and this did exactly that! Plus the added convenience of being within walking distance or a short bus ride to the main areas of the city and famous towers.
On arriving at the apartment block Barbara was there to greet us and spent time offering us some recommendations on some things to see and do which was really nice of her.
Now, on to the apartment itself.....
What a fabulous space and clearly great taste and an eye for design has gone into creating the look of the place which I would describe as original old Italian tiled flooring meets shabby chic and vintage cool which works so well. We really loved its feel and there is also a fabulous little balcony from the bedroom overlooking a courtyard space.
The apartment felt very homely and cosy to return to when coming back from dinner in Trattoria Via Serre - Number one and well loved restaurant in Bologna which just happens to be a few paces away from the apartment on the same street! ( if you stay here you must go as its so authentic and the owner really passionate about the food and dishes- a real bonus!)
There is also a local shop and coffee/panini bar on the corner which had great coffee and a nice neighbourhood feel.
All in all, both Franco & Barbara are lovely and have a great place in Bologna which I would recommend.
Thank you both and we wish you all the very best
Grazie Mille :)
