Spent a month in Italy and this was by far the best place I stayed. Maria and her mother went out of their way to accommodate any need. While my experience in other places often felt like people were doing the bare minimum, Maria is the kind of person who anticipates people's needs and has created a beautiful environment with nice art work and furnishings. I cannot say enough about her hospitality and would suggest to anyone to look no further to choose a place to stay in Bologna. Ed.
