This is a fantastic property, it’s clean and inviting, as a weary traveller you can instantly relax on arrival, located on the 3rd floor, it has a lift that opens almost at your door. Carlo the host is very accomodating and granted early arrival for me, it was no trouble at all, he was easily contacted and responded quickly. The apartment is tastefully appointed with a welcoming feel. Carlo was very helpful with information about both the apartment and the area and offered his services at any time. The terrace area is beautiful, with great views over the terracotta rooftops and the lit up Basilica at night, it is perfect for breakfast in the cool of the morning whilst listening the the church bells or a supper or platter at night with a wine or spritz, you will love the night views from here, you may even meet the local cat in the morning or see it’s young owner walking to rooftops in the evening looking for him, I did on several occasions. The upstairs and downstairs bathrooms are spotless with good linen, the bedroom is upstairs with a large comfy double bed, the room is very quiet due to complete double glazing throughout and also has some great views also. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for preparing simple meals to hosting a dinner party, it’s all there, it has a large refrigerator, (thanks Carlo for the cold beer on arrival) and a good size oven, microwave and dishwasher. The living area is full of the little trinkets and crystals with a fantastic collection of books, especially on photography. There is a supermarket with in 3-5 min walk and plenty of restaurants close by, I can recommend Pizzeria Corten and Osteria le Mura for some good typical Bolognese cuisine, there is also a chocolate shop and wine merchant just around the corner.
This is a fabulous place to stay, I only had 3 days so the central location was perfect to walk to all of the main attractions including Piazza Maggiore. I fully recommend this wonderful apartment to singles or couples for both long or short stays, you will love it, I will be sure to be back.
Just one note, be sure to chock the inner gate open on leaving from your stay, as you won’t have the key with you. Mark
