The apartment was very comfortable, warm and a great place to come back to on a cold day. It’s a central location so barely needs the bus, there were plenty of food places nearby and our hosts made checking in easy. We appreciated the laundry in the building as well. A bonus was the Christmas Markets right across the road. Would definitely recommend!

The apartment was perfect! The location was on a Main Street and very easy to access. Having never stayed in Bologna before, we were unsure of what neighborhood to stay in. After visiting the city, we were so happy to have chosen this apartment. The location was perfect, the apartment was easily accessible, and we would stay here again when visiting.

Great area in town . You can walk to a grocery store in less than 10 min right on their street as well as the 2 towers. within 20 min at a leisurely stroll and onto a couple of other streets you will find the Piazza Majiorrie, Neptunes staute and other major tourist attractions. The reception staff were very helpful and helped me with finding a cabbie who came very early for for our pick up to the airport.

We had a wonderful stay at this Bologna apartment with our two young daughters. The location on Strada Maggiore was central and easy to get around on foot—the Two Towers were our landmark for finding our way home, just five minutes away, and close to the historic center, restaurants, and transit. It was quiet and peaceful inside, yet still near the bar scene and nightlife if that's what you're after—the best of both worlds.Best of Both Worlds: Peaceful Nights, Vibrant Bologna at Your Door. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious, and well equipped, with plenty of room for our family of four. Check-in was completely seamless—the keyless codes for the building and apartment were a lifesaver, especially arriving with kids and luggage, and we didn't need to coordinate meeting a host. There's laundry in the basement, which was a great convenience for a longer stay. The hosts were excellent communicators throughout, and the front desk was genuinely helpful, arranging taxis and offering local guidance whenever we needed it.We'd happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna, families included.

Amazing and Convenient

This was an ideal location to stay in Bologna, close to city center, wide range of restaurants, bars, and markets but also convenient to groceries and shops for other amenities. Check in and check out was easy and all inquiries received prompt responses. Apartment was clean and comfortable and also had laundry. Would definitely recommend!

Great stay with family in Bologna

My family of 4 had a great stay at the Cavalleria Rusticana. The apartment was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The hosts provided a very thorough welcome document with answers to many questions and recommendations in the area. When we had a question, the hosts responded quickly. The location was quiet and a short 10-15 minute walk to Piazza Maggiore where there was lots of great dining, shopping and tourist sights to see. Highly recommend staying at this property.

Great for 5

This apartment was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. It was particularly handy for the kids to have their own room with three beds upstairs. The keyless entry was convenient and the secure parking was great. Everything in town was about a 12-15 minute stroll away; this worked for us, but might not be ideal for someone with mobility issues. The apartment was close to piazza Santa Stefano, which had a great atmosphere with cafes and delicious gelato.

Overall good experience. Awesome location and great property. Loved the ability to park. There was an odor that smelled a little like covering up of smoking. Unfortunately that odor has settled in to our clothing when we got home. With that said, the team was very communicative and I would recommend this property and company to friends and family!
