Bologna's most elegant shopping district is very close by - and also the best gelato in town!
Plentiful historical monuments and churches are nearby, including the beautiful square and church of San Domenico, containing works of Pisano, Michelangelo and Lippi. This is a perfect spot for walking out the door to enjoy the best that Bologna has to offer.

“Giardini Margherita” (Bologna’s most famous park is close by (10 mins’walk), “S.Michele in Bosco” (nice park with a great view of the historic center from the square adjacent to the Church) is 10 mins’walk.

In the apartment handsome details of the historic construction remain; exposed heavy timber framing and newly restored ornamental wood ceiling add generous ceiling height that lends a sense of spaciousness as well as history.
Situated on the first floor of a characteristic residential building that is connected to Bologna’s iconic portico system, the apartment is reached via a generous stairway one flight up from street level. It occupies the entire south-facing street frontage on this floor and receives generous sunlight throughout the day.
