Casa Isolani

We stayed in the most extraordinary room I have ever seen. All four windows overlooked the rooftops of Bologna. The light at all hours was like a painting. The remote control shades gave you control of the amount of light you experienced. It was complely private but you could see the cathedrals and towers unobstructed. The staff was minimal but very helpful and gracious. The linens were clean and high quality. An extraordinary place.

This was definitely a unique property. It is in a very old building, located right in the piazza, with lots of dining options. We stayed in the Triple Room, on the top floor. There was a loft with another bedroom, but we did not use it. The Views from this room were unbelievable of the Churches and the rooftops. One of the best hotel views I have ever had. Santo Stefano Room. So here's what you need to know: This is not a Full Service Hotel. It is called a B and B, not to be confused with an Air B and B. There is a common area with refrigerator, but you cannot cook here, per Italian law. Off of the common area, there are several rooms for rent. There is not a Front Desk. You need to let the host know your approximate arrival time the day before. When you are on your way to the hotel, let the host know this and he will meet you there. There is no place to store your luggage while you are waiting. Our host arrived about an hour after we arrived, so we grabbed a chair in the piazza and had some snacks. It is not really a good place to stay if you need handicap accessible. There is a small lift and some stairs to negotiate to get to the top floor. Perhaps there are some rooms on a lower floor. Our Host spoke English and was very helpful, showing us how to get into the building and restaurant recommendations. There is no one there when he leaves. He gave us his # and said to call if we needed anything. We did not need to call him. The room was quiet and had AC, which we did use.

Unique with amazing views

It is a unique but cool place to stay. Our room, top of tower had amazing 360 degree views of Bologna There are many stairs to climb so consider this when choosing. If stairs are not an issue then we highly recommend. Great location.
