A charming stay in a...
Liked: We felt really lucky to have found this gem in such a beautiful, historic building. The location is unbeatable – right in the heart of Bologna with incredible shops and eateries just below. Our hosts, Eduardo and Indiana, were absolutely fantastic: so kind and helpful. We arrived two hours earlier than expected and Indiana met us within 10 minutes with a warm welcome, which we really appreciated. The building itself is stunning, and we loved it so much we extended our stay by a night and moved into the larger suite, which was even lovelier. The room and bathroom were spotless with fluffy towels, a super comfy bed, and although there was just one pillow, we found extras in the wardrobe. The communal area is a really thoughtful touch – you can unwind in the evening with a glass of wine (on an honesty system), make tea or coffee, and use the shared cutlery and crockery. Breakfast is offered via tokens for a local pasticceria just seconds down the road – you get a croissant, tea or coffee, and juice – which we didn’t mind at all. There is a lift, though you do need to take two more staircases after – not an issue for us, but good to know. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, making it a very comfortable stay. We can’t wait to return!
Disliked: The only small drawbacks for us were the lack of an espresso machine in the room and no private fridge. It would have been lovely to make a coffee first thing in the morning without needing to use the communal kitchen and risk disturbing other guests. Similarly, while there is a shared fridge available, having one in the room would be helpful – especially for those needing to store medication or keep drinks cool. These are just minor things that would have made an already great stay even more comfortable.

Brilliant, I hope to return....
Liked: This is a fabulous place to stay. Just be aware that the lift does no go up the last flights of stairs from floor 4 to 5. I received help on arrival which I appreciated. The room was wonderful with a fantastic view.
Disliked: Some street noise until very late but this was resolved by closing the window.

Beautiful setting in historical centrum
Liked: Friendly owner who gives a lot of advise on how to get there, and what to see. Beautiful setting with nice views.
Disliked: Getting to the actual place is a little tricky, because it is a private place, but luckily the owner sent pictures about where to find the door...etc. I was a little nervous about having to use a set of 4 keys to get back inside, but it worked all right. The breakfast is a minimum solution in a local bakery, but it works ok
