Loft in historic building in the center

FionaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
From the start, Umberto was an excellent host; providing a quick response to our initial enquiry. Prior to arrival there was proactive communication to ensure a smooth arrival and entry. The property is light, spacious and airy. It's in a super location for the train station, great places to eat and drink, and for all the wonderful sights and shopping of Bologna. Inside knowledge of the city was shared, and used, and we were comforted that there was always a line of communication should we need it; we absolutely didn't. The loft apartment itself was spotless and a great workout to get to the front door via the 89 or so steps. Totally safe and most definitely secure, with all the essentials/amenities thrown in to ensure a most welcome and enjoyable stay from the start. We would definitely love to stay there again. Highly recommend.

CASA DORIANA IN THE HILLS A STONE'S THROW FROM THE CITY

LizRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay at Piero’s villa! Quiet, coz, beautiful surroundings ! It was exactly what we needed after the hustle and bustle of Rome and Florence. Piero is an excellent host. He went above and beyond to help us. He drove us to the market and to train station on the day of a holiday when transportation was scarce. I would highly recommend this gem!

Ca' Inua, art, woods, hospitality

MiekeRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Alessandra & Ludovico have created something truly special. Their land, home, and way of welcoming guests radiate care and warmth. You can feel this place was built with love and vision. Their hospitality is unmatched. They picked us up from the station, lent toys for our little kid, and helped arrange excellent e-bikes. Exploring the green hills at our own pace was perfect. Every route was beautiful – full of spring scents and wildflowers. We rode nearly every path, but the view from the house was the most breathtaking. The house is spacious, minimalist yet cosy and stylish. Outside are several seating areas surrounded by birdsong. One clear night, we soaked in the hot tub under the stars. It’s inspiring to see what they’re building together. There’s space here, and a deep sense of welcome. A place that stays with you – where everything fits, and you find yourself wishing for just one more day. And then there’s Cheeta, the dog. Even if you’re not a dog person, you’ll miss her!

La Selvatica

MeghanRating, 5 stars7 months ago
There is no better place to stay than La Selvatica. It’s my 4th visit and I can’t stop coming back. It’s genuine, inviting, and just such a special place. If you want an authentic Italian experience this is the place.

Casa Galliera Bologna Centro

BenjaminRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The apartment was really comfortable, and the location was great, being near enough to the station for the day trips we did, but close enough to walk to the town centre, restaurants, and other sights. Gabriele was really friendly and helpful. She met us for check in at an earlier time, and gave us a great introduction to the apartment and the city, with many helpful suggestions. Really enjoyed our stay.

Villa Bolsenda

ChristinaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Vittorio and Rosa Maria were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Vittorio provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit including a winery and cheese making factory. Also we had a fantastic meal cooked by Rosa Maria. It is a good base to visit other cities such as Modena and Parma (and others) by road or by train. The house was spacious, well equipped and felt like more like a family home with books, comfortable sofas a lovely sitting room and bedrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay and had a great holiday. Thank you Vittorio and Rosa Maria!

Your guide to Bologna

All About Bologna

Bologna is home to incredible architecture, thriving nightlife, and some of the most fascinating historical sites in Italy, including the oldest university in the world, founded in 1088. Located in the Emilia-Romagna region, where Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar originated, the restaurants and street food in Bologna uphold the area’s foody reputation. Famous for its hand-rolled pasta and rich ragu sauce, the city of Bologna is considered the gastronomic capital of Italy. And one way to experience the city is to wander its tight, colonnaded grid, snacking on some of the country’s top salami and prosciutto and searching for the best tortellini in brodo.

However, there’s so much more to do here than eat. The medieval-era, terracotta-tiled buildings earn Bologna the nickname La Rossa — “the red” — and the city’s cobbled streets are peppered with small squares and artisan shops selling everything from leather accessories to kitchen tools. Bologna’s wealth of museums and churches provide a glimpse into the past, whether you’d like to learn more about medical history at the Anatomical Theatre of the Archiginnasio or are interested in the Etruscan artefacts at the Archaeological Civic Museum.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Bologna

May to October are generally the most pleasant months to visit Bologna. There’s very little rain during this time, and the weather is ideal for walking and dining al fresco in the city’s piazzas. The peak summer months of July and August can, however, become quite hot and humid in the city centre. Be aware that this is also when many Italian businesses close their doors for the summer holidays and head to the coast. Autumn starts to see cooler weather but is a great time to hike or cycle through the parks and nature reserves around the city. The winter months are cold in Bologna, and temperatures often hit sub-zero in the evening.


Top things to do in Bologna

Porticos of Bologna

Bologna is home to more than 24 miles of beautiful, UNESCO World Heritage-listed porticoes. These covered walkways offer a unique way to explore the city, and while many were built in the early 20th century, some have their origins in the Middle Ages. Portico di San Luca is the longest walkway, which runs for 2.5 miles. The widest portico is the four-sided portico that lines the basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi in Strada Maggiore.

Quadrilatero

Bologna is renowned for its shops and boutiques, and some of the finest can be found in the Quadrilatero neighborhood, a cobblestoned quadrangle of streets where people have been selling their wares since medieval times. As well as high-end fashion, you’ll find fresh food markets, all kinds of restaurants and bars, as well as the 16th-century palace of Archiginnasio.

Asinelli Tower

Although Bologna is a wonderful place to explore at street level, it’s also fascinating to experience at a bird’s eye view. One of the best ways to snag an aerial perspective of the city is by climbing the 498 wooden steps of the medieval Asinelli Tower, which offers uninterrupted views of Piazza Maggiore, the surrounding hills, and the sprawling burnt orange rooftops of Bologna’s cityscape.
