THE HIDDEN GARDEN

In the heart of the city of Bologna, a few steps from the beautiful park of Giardini Margherita, the apartment is on the ground floor of a characteristic 1930s building located in a quiet interior, in the shade of holm oaks and palm trees, with a large courtyard and a small flowery garden enjoys a particularly pleasant cool climate in summer, favored by the historic house and the position at the foot of the Bolognese hills. 
The studio is well-kept and furnished with style with a Boffi kitchenette, a comfortable and new double bed, walk-in closet, bathroom with shower and all the comforts for a pleasant holiday and the rest breaks that the excursions require.
The position is strategic to reach on foot all the most interesting cultural destinations of the city, in ten minutes on foot, through the scenic via Castiglione with the magnificent arcades, you will reach the Two Towers Garisenda and Asinelli; from Viale XII Giugno, under the shade of the scented lime trees in late spring, passing in front of the Church of San Domenico, you will reach Piazza Maggiore, the beating heart of the city and the exclusive and elegant Galleria Cavour; the various Alma Mater offices and the Municipal Theater are near and comfortable.
A few steps from the house, a large paid car park, the bus stop with lines that take and come from various destinations including the Central Train Station, from the Station take the direct bus line to the Guglielmo Marconi airport.
On the adjacent via Castiglione, the best ice cream shop in the city, an excellent pastry shop, as well as several restaurants, famous taverns, wine bars and small clubs and also a well-stocked market open 24 hours a day.
Our family lives in the building and will be happy to meet, advise and support the welcome guests.
In the hills near Marzabotto, we are the owners of an agricultural estate where we rent apartments and, among other activities, we produce natural wine that you will find as a welcome gift, in the Bologna studio.
The apartment is equipped with free WI-FI.

Good location
We were warmly welcomed on arrival. The studio is small and we had not appreciated that it is really a bed-sitting room. We visited in November and were cold in the studio in spite of the owner adjusting radiators. It is well-equipped but mugs & plates could do with being updated and replaced.

Roberto's place is a great spot to visit Bologna. It's a stone's throw from the heart of the city and not far from a couple of key sites just outside the city. There are also many restaurants and shops a mere block away. The apartment is well equipped with a kitchen and although a studio it has a full-size bathroom, with a washer and its own hot water. There's also air conditioning. Roberto is a great host. The first night we were there he called a local restaurant and got us a reservation. Something I'm sure if we'd done on our own would not have resulted in a reservation 'that night'. Some notes; the garden in the complex that the apartment is in really isn't much to go on about. Probably a fine place for a smoke if you're a smoker but not really a spot to hang out in. The apartment is on the ground floor of a medium-sized apartment/condo complex, there are windows but no view. The complex is quiet and secure. We found it difficult to obtain a taxi near the property during what I'll call off hours; for instance on Sunday morning (9 a.m.) when we needed to get to the train we ended up having to walk to the center of town before we could get a taxi using the phone app. Otherwise during 'normal hours' we didn't have any trouble with getting a taxi right outside the door to the complex. We'd definitely visit again.

Beautiful Bologna
We really enjoyed our stay in Roberto’s Garden apartment. Set in a green oasis, it has all the facilities two people need - especially the kitchen for simple meals and a functional bathroom with large shower and good water pressure. Great to have a washing machine too! Apartment is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood with many dining options including the best gelataria and pasticceria shop only a few minutes walk away. It’s also only a ten minute walk to Piazza Maggiore and 20-25 min walk to main train station so very convenient. Roberto is a genial and thoughtful host, exemplified by the extensive information folder detailing from restaurant recommendations, local supermarket and instructions on the operation of all appliances. Would definitely recommend! *****
