If you're a fan of great architecture and natural surroundings Villa Benni is by far the best place in Bologna! I cannot praise Marcella and family for such a wonderful and pleasant stay. It is a great place to have a delicious morning breakfast in one of the most beautiful dining rooms imaginable as well as sit and have some nice quiet reflection time by the park if that's what you need. Nighttime is also very peaceful and serene. It is truly a family run B&B where they take great care in making sure your time in Bologna is both entertaining and memorable. You are given dining as well as sightseeing tips that are well worth the visits. I love walking so I had no need for a car or bus, the city center is just minutes away, with the extra bonus of walking back to escape the hustle and bustle. Could not recommend Villa Benni enough, I will most certainly return!
