Massimo was just amazing throughout the process and his home was perfect for our large family during our Bologna adventure. Situated in a farming community just outside of the city center this was convenient for us to get to the city and train station for our day trips to Florence and Venice. Farm stand just across the road for veggies, fruits, preserves and farm wine. And 2km from FICO World - a food lovers dream!
One note - we did not rent a car and relied on transport for hire. Lyft/Uber are not available in this area as they highly value their clean & efficient taxi system. We struggled to get an app to work and ended up having to call each time. Overall this was a non-issue and the taxis were great. Just an FYI for your planning purposes.
