St. Stefano

In the heart of Bologna, only a stone's throw from the beautiful Margherita Gardens, the flat is located on the ground floor of a typical 1930s era building. Placed on the inside of the secluded courtyard of the building, under the shade of palm trees and holm oaks, the flat is protected from the summer heat by the courtyard garden, by the thick stone walls of the period building and by the nearby Bologna hills, that begin their ascent from the south side of the city. A few metres from the flat, along the ring road, there is a large parking facility (requiring payment), and a bus stop where you can catch a bus directly to the central station. From the central station you can catch the airport shuttle, leaving every 20 mins. Along the Via Castiglione you can find the best ice cream parlour in Bologna, a top notch patisserie, and many high quality restaurants and wine bars. There is also a large supermarket, open at all hours. It is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway, and at just a ten minute walk from the city centre it offers the chance to see all the main attractions of the town at a leisurely pace. Passing through the scenic Via Castiglione, with its magnificent porticos, you arrive at the famous two towers of Bologna, Garisenda and Asinelli, the monument that is the symbol of this Medieval town. And from the city ring road that runs close to the house, a wide avenue lined with linden trees, passing by the ancient church of San Domenico, you arrive at the main square in the centre of Bologna. Here you can find the town hall and a Medieval fortress, as well as an elegant gallery of shops and bars running beside the grand San Petronio basilico. A little further on are the buildings of the ancient university, the public theatre and the conservatory. Rules: No smoking. Events and parties not allowed. Unfortunately it's not allowed to have any additional guests staying in unless they were registered during the booking. An Identity document is required to the check-in moment together with the payment of the city tax which is 2,00€ per person for the first 5 nights
