Just opposite the railway station, and an easy stroll to Bologna's top must-visit sites.

An enchanting little B&B tucked away amid the greenery of a private village.

Convenient spot just a few minutes from the historic heart and 10-min drive to the Vicentina Trade Fair area.

A study in sophisticated elegance, with a medieval portico, Renaissance frescos and Liberty Hall’s massive glass cupola that opens in the summer.

Steps from the park (views from the restaurant terrace!), and the city’s best shopping streets. Win-win.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.

Near busses, planes, trains and automobiles (right off the A14) for easy all-mode access.

Just built, and you can almost still catch a whiff of that new-car smell.

3 distinct buildings fuse present and past for an eclectically arty vibe.

Lobby is airy and open, with all-white seating and palmy plants. Crisp rooms (also done up in whites), rock wood floors and free WiFi.

A less than 10-min stroll will get you to the Bologna Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo), which focuses on art from WWII to the present.

Nestled on the hills just outside the city and only a 10-min drive from the centre.
