About this property

Chez Cristina by Wonderful Italy

Modern apartment with balcony, in the centre of Bologna.



The apartment is situated on the third floor of an historical building, with no lift. The entrance opens to the open space living room featuring wooden flooring and enriched by exposed wooden beams, furnished with a comfortable double sofa bed and a flat-screen TV. In this room there is also a new and well-equipped kitchenette, fitted also with a microwave, a coffee machine and a dining table for four people. The bedroom, bright and cosy, comes with a walk-in closet and a queen size bed. The full bathroom has been recently renovated and comes with a wonderful large shower. A balcony overlooking the rooftops of Bologna completes the apartment, coming with a table and chairs to enjoy breakfast outside during sunny days.



*Please be informed that the city centre is a limited-traffic zone, therefore we suggest leaving the car in one of the parkings and enjoying the old town on foot.



*Upon arrival or a few days before arrival it may be required to pay a tourist tax, which varies according to local regulations. You will find your reservation details within the Guest Area of Wonderful Italy.



Bologna is a city of art, culture and trade. The capital of Emilia-Romagna is also known as “Dotta” (erudite), being the oldest university of the West, as “Grassa” (fat) for its gastronomic delights and “Rossa” (red) for the colours characterising its old town,

Its soul is in the medieval old town, one of the biggest in Europe, dotted in taverns, workshops and theatres, characterised by almost 40 kms of porticoes. In the city centre there is Piazza Maggiore, where the charm of medieval buildings is perfectly combined with modernity. Not to be missed are the Fountain of Neptune by Giambologna and the Medieval Towers, “Torre degli Asinelli” and “Torre della Garisenda”, part of a rich cultural heritage preserved in several museums, art galleries and religious buildings.

It is allowed to leave Bologna only after having tried its gastronomic products, among which mortadella, tortellini, ragù alla bolognese while sipping famous DOC wines from the Bologna hills! Rich in exhibitions, fairs and cultural events, Bologna can surprise you in every season.



5 minutes away from the apartment there is the bus stop Carducci where there are buses which bring you to the central station in 10 minutes while the airport can be reached with a 25-minutes drive.

A quiet retreat in a superb location!

My spouse and I loved our stay here! The apartment was more than enough space for the two of us, well-appointed, and we especially loved the secluded patio. GREAT location: We walked everywhere from here! It's close to a beautiful city park and the famous Santo Stefano churches. Just a 20-minute walk into the main plaza and other famous sights.Quiet: The location is right off a main artery into the center of town but once inside, it's so quiet you'd never know you were in the heart of Bologna! Responsive staff: They were able to accommodate our late check-in after a change in our flight delayed us. And were very responsive via the VRBO chat!

C'est un très bon point de chute et pour plusieurs bonnes raisons :- à proximité du centre (15-20 minutes à pied environ par la très belle rue San Stefano),- au calme puisque l'appartement donne un petit jardin avec vue sur les toits sans avoir réellement de vis-à-vis,- une petite terrasse bien agréable pour les petits-déjeuners,- confortable pour un court ou moyen séjour. - communication et accueil réactif.

Schöne Wohnung im Zentrum von Bologna

Die Wohnung im Zentrum von Bologna war super für unseren Städtetrip. Man kann alle Attraktionen in der Innenstadt zu Fuß erreichen und zwischendurch für eine Pause auf der Terasse zurück kehren. Direkt ums Eck gibt es ein kleines Café in dem man prima frühstücken kann. Die Wohnung war sauber, aber ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was uns nicht gestört hat und dem Aufenthalt keinen Anbruch getan hat. Der Checkin war unkompliziert und Kommunination per WhatsApp einfach. Allerdings verspätete sich der Checkin-Guide. Und man musste einiges an Formularen online ausfüllen. Parken darf man in der Straße nur kurz. Aber außerhalb der Altstadt gibt es Parkplätze.
