NEIGHBORHOOD
Stylish, central yet quiet neighborhood; in a few steps you can reach Piazza Maggiore, admire the 2 Towers, the ancient University, visit the churches and museums of the city, sip an aperitif in the charming Piazza Santo Stefano and take advantage of the countless gastronomic proposals that the city offers.
Luxury shopping in the nearby Galleria Cavour, commercial shopping in Via Indipendenza and gastronomic shopping in the ancient and lively market of the "Quadrilatero".
Supermarket near the house for your daily shopping.
For a sporty walk to San Luca (even in the rain) just follow the route along the famous Porticoes of Bologna.
If you want to visit the neighboring cities (Florence, Modena, Rimini or even Venice and Milan) the connections with fast trains from the central station (within walking distance) are very frequent.
Welcome to the heart of Bologna and its fascinating history!

A wonderful hostess in a perfect location

Tanja’s apartment was absolutely lovely, spotless, comfortable yet stylish, and plenty of space for the 3 of us. It is located in the city center but in a quiet location and a very quiet building. She had prepared a crib, changing station, and bath station for our baby, which was more than we could have hoped for and made otherwise stressful international travel with an infant so much easier. She was always available for questions and one of the most hospitable hosts we’ve had during our travels. We would absolutely return and chose her apartment again!

Incredible weekend in Bologna!

We were visiting my oldest daughter, who is studying in Florence, and decided to spend the weekend in Bologna.Tanja was incredibly welcoming and was very communicative with us regarding the check in process.My husband, youngest daughter and me were tired & hungry after our international flight. Tanja surprised us with aperitivo which we thoroughly enjoyed. The apartment is in a beautiful old palace of a former silk merchant. Even though we were in central Bologna, the property was incredibly quiet because it is inward, facing a courtyard vs the street. Tanja provided excellent recommendations of foods to eat, sites to visit, etc . She was also flexible with us regarding checkout since no one checking in the day we left. I highly recommend Bologna & highly recommend this property. Everything f was clean, updated and you cannot beat the location or Tanja’s hospitality!

Just a beautiful restored apartment in the heart of Bologna.

We managed to book this apartment after a fiasco with another property the night before (no AC in June). The owner was simply wonderful and accommodating to get us in for the next few nights. Super cute, quiet, and updated. Kitchen was well stocked. The location was amazing and everything was just wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic historic location, fabulous host

My sister and a friend stayed in Tanja's exceptionally tranquil and historic palazzo apartment. We couldn't have asked for a better apartment in such a central location - around the corner from the buzz of Piazza Maggiore and Santa Stefano Basilica. Yet the apartment was quiet, safe and peaceful - a haven. The interior was tastefully decorated with contemporary modern fixtures and fittings. This is reflected in the completely accurate photos. Our host Tanja was absolutely amazing. Throughout our dealings with her, she was quick to respond. She was extremely enthusiastic, highly informative and gave us fantastic recommendations for places to eat, food to taste, culture and travel. When we needed help to visit places off the main tourist track, she was immediately there to advise us on the best routes and transport. We had a truly memorable holiday, visiting churches, monuments, museums, exhibitions and attending concerts, eating wonderful food. When we wished for some home-cooking there were supermarkets close by and the wonderful Mercato delle Erbe within walking distance. I can highly recommend Tanja's apartment. We travel a lot and can say that this was the best apartment we have been to. Ci vediamo!
