This cosy apartment sits in a prestigious neighbourhood just outside of Bologna. Piazza Maggiore and the sights of central Bologna are a twenty-minute drive away. What this home lacks in terms of a central location, it makes up for in charm and authenticity. It's full of artwork and paintings, and old Bolognese features like tiled floors – this is a real home-from-home. The star attraction is the outside space, with its plant-filled garden, covered terrace, and patio. The perfect spot for an alfresco meal and a glass of wine, the garden is a haven.

About Bologna
Famous for its red-brick buildings, Bologna’s warm, terracotta hues create a beautiful backdrop that has inspired countless artists over the years. Many of Bologna’s streets – while now filled with cafes and lines of parked pastel Vespas – are, in fact, still structured in the original Roman grid system.

Host
This home is managed by Gaia & Pietro
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Pietro and Gaia are a delight - he’s a painter and responsible for a lot of the art on display, and she’s done all manner of things work-wise, and is a qualified architect and tailor. They own a handful of homes across Italy that they rent out and so are extremely experienced hosts. Though it might not always be them checking you in - they often use a lockbox system - they are always available via phone for their guests if they have any questions, great or small.
