About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Casa nel Paradiso, apartment with balcony-historic center/Pratello

The apartment is located on the 3rd floor with lift in a building in a quiet private garden, from the balcony you can enjoy a suggestive view of the red roofs of Bologna. The apartment (55 m2) consists of an entrance hall, fully equipped kitchen, brand new bathroom with large shower and washing machine, 2 bedrooms (one double and one with two armchairs/beds that can be transformed into single beds as shown in the photo).

You are in the heart of "Pratello", one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the historic centre, full of clubs and activities, in the evening it is a meeting place and it is very pleasant to stop for an aperitif or even to taste the gastronomic specialities.
Piazza Maggiore, San Petronio, San Pietro, Nettuno can be reached on foot by walking under the characteristic porticoes (Unesco heritage).
In the surrounding area you will find a supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, practically everything that makes your stay pleasant.

We are also a strategic point to reach some important cities of art, in about h. 1-1.30 by train you can visit Venice, Florence, Ravenna and Parma and Ferrara, you can organize visits to these cities without changing location and to make your stay as comfortable as possible you also have a washing machine at your complete disposal.

We live in the adjacent apartment and with my husband we personally welcome guests, providing all the tourist and gastronomic information, curiosities or anything else that may be necessary.
Cleaning and sanitization is personally handled.

Bologna old city stay

The property is very clean amd well maintained by attentive hosts who live next door. It is on the third floor and gets wonderful sunlight. There is an elevator in the building but it is small, so larger individuals should be advised that they might need to take the stairs

Great stay and would stay again

It’s the perfect vrbo- in a great neighborhood but still quiet and private. It was the perfect size for our family of 3. The living room has 2 twin size pull out couches, plus a bedroom with a queen bed. Elena and Stefano are great hosts- they gave us a ton of info on their city and checked in on us. They live next door so if there was ever an issue they were there to help- not that there was.

We truly can’t thank Stefano enough for all he did! 😜 Our stay was perfection! The apartment was just like home… (maybe even nicer than home!) We absolutely loved this city, as promised by Stefano! He was so kind with food/wine, tour and restaurant suggestions, among other tips and tricks! 👍👍

The perfect stay in Bologna

This property is in a great quiet location with lovely views from the third floor. It was also utterly spotless and recently modernised. Elena and Stefano met us on our arrival, took the time to answer questions, give us advice and even also pre-booked out taxi to the airport on check out. I'd come back to Bologna and would check availability here again before looking anywhere else. Exceptional.

Wonderful property and fantastic hosts

Path to property has nice plantings that were blooming. We were greeted by hosts as soon as taxi arrived, showed where things were, and given lots of tourist information. They could not have been any more friendly and helpful. They live across the hall on the same floor and were always available for our questions. Kitchen is fully equipped. The balcony is another plus. Highly recommend this property. You will love the hosts.

Excellent Apartment in Bologna

The apartment is in a cool part of town with only a ten minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, the towers and everything you would want to see plus every great restaurant, bar or cafe you'll want to visit. And it benefits from being near the action but in a nice, quiet courtyard overlooking the roofs of Bologna. The apartment is clean with everything you need. Elena and Stefano are wonderful hosts. They provided us with great recommendations for food and sightseeing. We recommend their property to anyone who wants to see Bologna.

Fantastic Apartment in Paradise, Just as Advertised

We had a wonderful 7-night stay over the holidays, We selected Casa nel Paradiso based on the stellar VRBO reviews and the location and it was an absolute delight. Elena and Stefano are incredibly gracious and helpful hosts, going to far as to set up a Christmas tree that I had requested. The apartment is clean, well-appointed, and quiet, and in a wonderful neighborhood minutes away from the Piazza Maggiore - but the best meal we had during our stay, by far, is just around the corner at Trattoria da Me (there are two locations, we went to the one on Via San Felice, 50a. Their pasta shop is right next door and we brought some back to cook up and enjoy in the apartment. If we could give this rental more than 5 stars, we would!

Excellent hosts, spotless and comfortable apartment

The apartment appears to be recently renovated. It is in excellent condition, everything works, and it is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Even so, the kindness of the hosts made our stay great. They greeted us enthusiastically, and provided a map and excellent introduction to Bologna. A great deal of information about Bologna is provided, and it was very welcome. This is a place where we would stay again. The apartment is on the 3d floor. There is a small lift so we didnt need to carry luggage up the stairs.

Beautiful apartment in a great location

This was one of the best properties we have stayed in and made extra special by the warm welcome from Stefano and Elena who were very knowledgable about Bologna having lived in the city all their lives. They gave us excellent recommendations on places to visit and eat during our five night stay. All the main sights are within a 10-15 minute walk and the train station is a 15-20 minute walk where you can get trains easily to lovely places like Ravenna and Ferrara. The apartment is a little oasis in a busy area and all you can hear from the balcony is the sounds of the birds - very peaceful after a long day sightseeing. Plenty of places to eat out in a few minutes walk and an excellent PAM supermarket within a 10 minute walk. We would definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning soon.

Perfect Bologna condo

My sister and I spent 10 days in Elena and Stefano's condo, which is right next door to the condo in which they live. Our condo was immaculate and had been completely renovated within the past year. We appreciated the fully-equipped kitchen and washing machine. It is perfectly located in the historic city center so that you can walk everywhere, but the street and building are very quiet. The small balcony is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the sun and rooftop views. We explored the city and also took day trips by train to nearby Ferrara, Modena, Ravenna, etc. Elena and Stefano were SO helpful -- they provided us with maps, brochures and advice, as well as arranging a taxi to the airport for us. What lovely hosts! We highly recommend their beautiful condo and warm hospitality.
