The studio in Bologna is a fantastic place. Yes, a little damp but that is a minor detail compared to the privacy, location and service! we spent 3 days / 4 nights with our 3 year ols son who loved the well inside the room and felt completely at home in his own little castle as he called it. Carlo is wonderfully interested and ready to help at any moment (and very quick in responding). we only saw him briefly when we arrived and we spent the rest of the time with friends in Bologna, but he helped us out in arranging a taxi back to the airport and even sent his father to make sure we would be picked up at the right time. All other stories about the pastry shop and Gelateria are also very true!!! We can't wait to go back to both Bologa and this place!
