1) THE GREAT LOCATION

Places, good restaurants, coffee bar, “osterias” all around, supermarkets a few meters, shops of the best gastronomic tradition in the neighborhood. A really very good vibes location! The authentic Bolognese atmosphere. The Teatro Comunale is around the corner, so the location is absolutely perfect for opera singers or performers, thanks also to the vaulted ceiling, with perfect acoustics for daily vocalizations.
Right next to the entrance of the building there is an excellent coffee and drink bar.

Don’t forget that BOLOGNA is the perfect base city to visit the main cities of northern-central Italy: Florence is 35 minutes by high-speed train; Modena is 20 minutes; Ferrara 30 minutes; Ravenna 1h and 15 minutes; Venice 1h and 25 minutes; Milan 1 hour.

SANAPUR VS CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19)


4) CLEANING AND SANITIZATION WITH "SANAPUR"
The cleansing action of Sanapur is 300 times more powerful than that of sodium hypochlorite.
Sanapur is indicated in the prevention of Norovirus, Coronavirus (Covid-19), Legionella and a wide range of bacteria, parasites, spores and fungi. It eliminates any pathogen.
Sanapur respects the environment because it is composed of metastable molecules that dissolve quickly after use. The residues are essentially water and salt, therefore: it has no harmful effect on people and the environment; it has a neutral pH and is not corrosive; it is 100% biodegradable.

PLEASE NOTICE
At home, as you can seen in the pictures, there are hunting trophies. They were hunted in Africa forty years ago by my ex-father-in-law and his friend Ernest Hemingway. The trophies, hunted i in compliance with the rules of the place, represent for me a very strong emotional bond, despite the fact that I am against hunting.

Our stay in Bologna was wonderful but Cristina really made it even more so. Here apartment was immaculately clean and comfortable. It was also charming and felt like a home away from home. The refrigerator and dining area table displayed a lovely selection of food and drink for our first breakfast (It was nice to not have to run out immediately to a grocery store!). She kept in touch and responded quickly to any questions and even let us know about a special event Bologna had while we were staying there. I am keeping as a memento the personalized booklet she made for us with all of the recommendations (restaurants etc…) and the answers to many questions one might have. Thank you again so much! (PS the Wi-Fi was excellent too) I would not hesitate to stay in Cristina’s place again!

If you are looking for a beautifully decorated apartment- stocked like a 5 Star Resort- served by Cristina like a 5 Star concierge- and located in the historic part of unique city like Bologna- then this is the VRBO for you. When u arrive the place is stocked with baskets of fruit and crackers- wine- eggs bacon juice milk and coffee and tea. Bathrooms stocked with - all the creams - lotions - bath robes slippers etc etc u would find at a resort. The apartment is uniquely decorated with gorgeous wood floors and is close to restaurants- markets - shops- and the main plaza in Bologna as well as the university with students energizing the streets around you. Cristina is always available and will gladly meet or solve any of your needs or problems. Lastly - over the years I have stayed at many VRBO’s and no one comes close to doing as exceptional a job as a hostess as Cristina.

This 2 story apartment in the heart of Bologna is such a GREAT find! The history of the apartment, coupled with the great space and furnishings and add a SPECTACULAR Property Manager who went WAY OUT OF HER WAY to make the stay special, to find out what we liked and have many of those items waiting for us and to have a personalized booklet ready that described many of the things to see and places to eat was AMAZING! If we go back, we will make SURE to stay here!!

Wow… what a perfect home to stay for a trip to Bologna, perfect location to walk anywhere in the city, beautiful unique decor, very clean, amenities galore from bathrooms stocked w soaps, perfumes,iron, kitchen fully stocked, washer dryer w detergents, air conditioner worked great…to special treats of fruits, biscuits, grapes, chocolates, etc. The bed was super comfy w soft silky sheets, lots of blankets and 2 sets of towels. I couldnt think of one thing this place didnt have for us avail. The apartment is in an area with small local shops and restaurants but off the street so very quiet. Christina was a gem with meeting us at the place and showing us around, she was accessible when needed and even called us a cab and made dinner reservations. This is the best short term rental that we have stayed yet! Thanks Christina for sharing your special home. We will be back. Steve and Patricia

Beautiful apartment in a great location
Beautiful apartment in a great location
My partner and I stayed in this lovely apartment for 4 nights over Easter. The apartment is in a fantastic location less than a 10 minute walk from the two towers and other sites of the historic centre of Bologna. The apartment is fantastically equipped with everything that a visitor could possible need - I have never stayed in a holiday rental where so much thought and generosity has gone into to anticipating and catering for every possible need of the guests. We were met on arrival by Cristina the owner who was absolutely charming and gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and its facilities as well as leaving us with a personalised welcome brochure with a wealth of useful information and a selection of delicious treats for our first breakfast which was so generous that it lasted almost our entire stay! Cristina’s communication from the first moment of booking was excellent and the whole visit went exceptionally smoothly as a result. This was my first visit to Bologna but I hope it will not be my last and it would be hard to imagine staying anywhere other than Cristina’s lovely apartment if and when we do visit the city again, I cannot recommend the place highly enough.

Très bon choix!
Très bon choix!
L’appartement de Cristina est impeccablement propre, confortable, spacieux et très bien équipé. Pas de déception, l’appartement est tel que vu sur les photos. Le décor est soigné et chaleureux avec ses planchers et son escalier de bois et ses grandes voûtes au plafond dans le living. Même si nous ne sommes pas de grands fans de trophées de chasse, cela ne nous a pas dérangé outre mesure. Cela donne un cachet un peu exotique à cet appartement où chaque objet du décor est soigneusement choisi par Cristina pour rendre l’atmosphère accueillante, comme si on était à la maison. La cuisine est compacte mais contient tout ce qui est nécessaire. Les deux salles de bain sont très pratiques et sont équipées de tous les articles de toilette nécessaire, y compris des serviettes de grande qualité et des peignoirs. Le grand lit est très comfortable et on peut dormir en toute tranquillité, la fenêtre de la chambre donne sur une cour intérieure, loin des bruits du voisinage. En plein centre de Bologne, il est bien situé pour rayonner dans tous les coins de la ville et la gare de trains est à 15 minutes de marche. Cristina s’est informée à l’avance de nos goûts pour nous fournir ce qu’il faut pour le petit déjeuner du lendemain de notre arrivée. Le réfrigérateur contenait plus que le nécessaire, il y avait du bon pain frais, des biscuits et de nombreuses gâteries (chocolats, petit en cas, etc) et une excellente bouteille de vin de la région sans oublier un joli bouquet de fleurs pour agrémenter le tout. Tout est choisi avec minutie. Cristina nous a également fourni un carnet personnalisé contenant des références pour les restaurants de même que des informations sur l’appartement et les services aux alentours.Elle est toujours disponible pour toute assistance ou pour répondre à nos questions. Elle nous a gentiment organisé la réservation du taxi pour notre retour vers l’aéroport et fait des recherches pour des excursions. Elle prend grand soin de tous les détails pour nous assurer une expérience supérieure et sans soucis. Nous n’avons jamais connu un accueil si chaleureux et personnalisé qu’avec Cristina. Son accueil est exceptionnel, unique et digne d’un grand hôtel. Nous souhaitons visiter davantage cette région de l’Italie et c’est sans hésitation que nous retournerions dans cet appartement hors-norme et nous le recommandons chaleureusement. Francine et Bernard

Bijou House for the SECOND TIME
Bijou House for the SECOND TIME
I told the VRBO world back in November 2016 that I really wanted to come back to Bologna, to stay Cristina’s apartment again, and to bring my husband this time. We just did it, and to make it even better, we brought my brother along as well. After the crowded, narrow, irregular sidewalks with motorized traffic zipping by at one’s elbow, in what must be Italy’s tourist capitol, Bologna just up the road, seemed as refreshing as that longed for “breath of fresh air”. Whether they are called arcades, colonnades, or porticoes, Bologna has an architectural signature all its own; one which radiates calm, dignity, sophistication, and civilization. What’s more, all those porticoes mean the sidewalks are wide, smooth and protected. I ditched the cane I’d been using as a third foot. (Use Google Images to see the serenity Bologna projects.) We walked miles and miles each day as the beauty of the city is my primary attraction to Bologna. What better way to see it than on one’s own feet at one’s own pace. Now there are plenty of galleries, museums, and churches to keep one busy from morning to night. Those connected to the University of Bologna were especially delightful. So, as I recommend the city as justifying of a full fledged stop, you can be as busy or as lazy as you want in Bologna and still have a terrific time. For instance, the Opera House is only steps from Cristina’s apartment. We stopped in hoping to get tickets for the April production, but the opera didn’t start until after our stay would be over. However, as we would return after a day’s exploring, we could hear the rehearsals taking place inside. Surely you will never see on VRBO as unique an apartment as Cristina’s is....or as immaculate, or beautifully outfitted. In addition to all she has done to welcome her guests in general, she goes an extra 10 miles to personalize her welcome to you. “Pampered” would be a good word to describe the way you will feel. I recommend Bijou House 100%. Nancy P.
