Casa nel Paradiso, apartment with balcony-historic center/Pratello

The apartment (55 m2) consists of an entrance hall, fully equipped kitchen, brand new bathroom with large shower and washing machine, 2 bedrooms (one double and one with two armchairs/beds that can be transformed into single beds as shown in the photo).
You are in the heart of "Pratello", one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the historic centre, full of clubs and activities, in the evening it is a meeting place and it is very pleasant to stop for an aperitif or even to taste the gastronomic specialities. Piazza Maggiore, San Petronio, San Pietro, Nettuno can be reached on foot by walking under the characteristic porticoes (Unesco heritage). In the surrounding area you will find a supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, practically everything that makes your stay pleasant.

We live in the adjacent apartment and with my husband we personally welcome guests, providing all the tourist and gastronomic information, curiosities or anything else that may be necessary. Cleaning and sanitization is personally handled.

Stefano and Elena were the most gracious hosts! Very kind and helpful. Shared lots of information and suggestions. The apartment was lovely and comfortable and the beds very much so. Would stay again!

Thank you for the kind words, having you as guests was a great pleasure.
Our six-week stay at Casa nel Paradiso in Bologna was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Stefano and Elena made us feel completely at home with their warm, thoughtful hospitality. They were attentive, kind, and always available if we needed anything — truly the kind of hosts who make a stay memorable.The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, making it easy to settle in for an extended visit. It’s clear that great care goes into maintaining the space, and we appreciated how welcoming and well-prepared everything felt upon arrival.The location is also ideal. Casa nel Paradiso is just a 10-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, placing you right in the heart of Bologna’s historic center, and about 15 minutes on foot to the train station — perfect for exploring the city and taking day trips throughout the region.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Stefano and Elena couldn’t have been nicer, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa nel Paradiso to anyone planning a stay in Bologna.

Hello, Ken. Thank you for your review. Elena and I always strive to ensure our customers' satisfaction. Your kind words are our greatest reward. I'm also happy you appreciated our humble home, our ancient city, and our way of life. You will always be welcome here.
Beautiful Bologna! This apartment was perfect for our family of 4 with its cozy beds that had immaculate linens, AC, washer, full kitchen and a balcony that offered a window to the historical center. Our hosts were gracious and offered clear guides, amazing restaurant recommendations and offered to help if necessary with any of our questions. Wish we could of stayed longer-it was paradise!

The apartment was spotlessly clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. They gave us lots of advice and suggestions, which we used and enjoyed. Stefano and Elena went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable, but they were never intrusive. We loved being in a authentic part of Bologna and felt like locals. We stayed for 13 nights and used Bologna as a base to visit Venice, Modena, Parma and Ravenna. The balcony was a lovely extra and we often had a coffee or a wine while looking at the roof tops.

Elena and Stefano were very gracious hosts. The apartment was spotless and felt brand new and well stocked. The location was very convenient, a short walk to the main square of the old town. Would stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Elena and Stefano’s apartment. They are the perfect hosts who met us at the door and provided excellent help right through our stay. We would be happy to return.

So, I say ARRIVEDERCI.
We had an incredible time in Bologna. Stefano and Elena were the best hosts imaginable. They offered us restaurant suggestions, helped book reservations, got us a parking spot, and so many other things. They truly made the stay special.The apartment itself is in a great location, with tons of shops and restaurants right nearby. Both the train station and the main piazza are about a 15 minute walk, making it a great place to call home base. We loved our stay, and are glad we got to experience Bologna hospitality!

The property is beautifully done, airy and modern. Perfectly outfitted with extremely friendly and helpful proprioters. This is a "can't miss" property that comes highly recomended.
The apartment was exactly as advertised. Very quiet location close to numerous attractions, restaurants, etc.. Everything you need is supplied. The hosts were the nicest and most helpful people we’ve ever had (we’ve rented numerous properties). Great property.

Thank you Robert, we are happy that you enjoyed the apartment and its surroundings. We hope to see you again.
My family stayed here for three days in the middle of a ten day Italy trip. Elena and Stefano made us feel right at home. All the restaurant recommendations were on point. The ideas of things to visit, as well! We loved the fact that there was A/C and a laundry machine, as we chose to do this trip with only carry on luggage due to the train travel we were doing. The apartment is clean and comfortable. There was even espresso. I would highly recommend making this your base for a Bologna stay.

Thank you for your kind words. It's very important to us that our guests feel at home and have a wonderful stay in Bologna. We hope to see you again soon.
If you want a quiet place in the historic center of Bologna you can’t do better. Stefano and Elena are always ready to help you, and the apartment is nicely updated. We spent many a morning out on the balcony which overlooks a quiet courtyard. You are minutes from Bologna’s central market and piazza, and many cafes and restaurants are even closer.

Thanks James, I'm glad you enjoyed the tranquility and proximity to the centre. You will always be welcome
Thank you for your visit, we are sorry to read this, it is the first time we have received this report. so we take this opportunity to better describe the area for future guests. We are located in the historic center "Al Pratello" (the origins of the discrict date back tu at least the year 1184) one of the oldest and liveliest neighborhoods in Bologna, full of bars, restaurants and trattorias. Despite this, the apartment inside a private courtyard is extremely sheltered from street noise, offering tranquility and at the same time experiencing the atmosphere of Bologna by moving just a few meters.We hope that Bologna has remained in your hearts!!!
The property is very clean amd well maintained by attentive hosts who live next door. It is on the third floor and gets wonderful sunlight. There is an elevator in the building but it is small, so larger individuals should be advised that they might need to take the stairs
