About this property

Rooftop Garden - Elegant Apartment in Historic Bologna

  • Welcome to Rooftop Garden, an elegant apartment nestled in Bologna's enchanting historic centre. Located on the second floor (with lift) at Via de' Carbonesi 7, this 80m² sanctuary occupies a former 17th-century convent, preserving authentic architectural character. Please note there are internal steps: a few down to the kitchen, and a few from the living room down to the bedroom and bathroom.

    The true gem of this property is its private rooftop garden — your personal escape at roof level, with fragrant jasmine, a peaceful gazebo, and views across the tiled rooftops of the old town. It is an enclosed private terrace rather than a panoramic deck: a green space of your own in the heart of a UNESCO historic centre, perfect for morning coffee or sunset aperitivos. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed bedroom, full bathroom (shower + bidet), bright living room, and equipped kitchen with Nespresso.

    Modern comforts include WiFi, air conditioning, iron/ironing board, hair dryer and shampoo. The washing machine and dryer are located in the private garden, in a dedicated cabinet for your exclusive use, not shared with the building.

    Perfectly positioned a few minutes' walk from Piazza Maggiore and the Due Torri. For parking, Garage Farini (Vicolo S. Damiano 3/3a, tel +39 051 266086, ~€45-50/night) is just a few steps away, inside the restricted traffic zone (ZTL). A cheaper paid alternative is the Ex-Staveco car park, outside the ZTL, about a 15-minute walk away. Host Vittorio shares his deep passion for Bologna.

Great place to stay! Love the outdoor garden space. Location is super convenient to the city center - wish we would have stayed another night. The host was so nice - we had train issues getting to Bologna and they were very understanding. Highly recommend!

Vittorio was extremely helpful with our stay, he told us where we could store our luggage very close by so we could stay and have lunch in town and walk around some more before leaving. This apartment is located in a perfect part of the historic district. Easy walking to all sites and restaurants. One of the best little gems in Italy.

A friendly and helpful host, and the location was in perfect. Beautifully decorated, stylish and plenty of space, the only area for improvement was the bath plug was faulty so unable to have a bath, only a hand held shower that made it difficult to use, would have loved a cold shower on this heat. Despite this would recommend this property and host.

Excellent apartment close to Piazza Maggiore, and all that Bologna has to offer. My only suggestion, would be a shower curtain or glass partition on the tub. Having to sit to wash off is not convenient. However, that said, I would highly recommend this stay without hesitation.
