Beautiful Bologna! This apartment was perfect for our family of 4 with its cozy beds that had immaculate linens, AC, washer, full kitchen and a balcony that offered a window to the historical center. Our hosts were gracious and offered clear guides, amazing restaurant recommendations and offered to help if necessary with any of our questions. Wish we could of stayed longer-it was paradise!

Our six-week stay at Casa nel Paradiso in Bologna was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Stefano and Elena made us feel completely at home with their warm, thoughtful hospitality. They were attentive, kind, and always available if we needed anything — truly the kind of hosts who make a stay memorable.The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, making it easy to settle in for an extended visit. It’s clear that great care goes into maintaining the space, and we appreciated how welcoming and well-prepared everything felt upon arrival.The location is also ideal. Casa nel Paradiso is just a 10-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, placing you right in the heart of Bologna’s historic center, and about 15 minutes on foot to the train station — perfect for exploring the city and taking day trips throughout the region.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Stefano and Elena couldn’t have been nicer, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa nel Paradiso to anyone planning a stay in Bologna.

The apartment was spotlessly clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. They gave us lots of advice and suggestions, which we used and enjoyed. Stefano and Elena went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable, but they were never intrusive. We loved being in a authentic part of Bologna and felt like locals. We stayed for 13 nights and used Bologna as a base to visit Venice, Modena, Parma and Ravenna. The balcony was a lovely extra and we often had a coffee or a wine while looking at the roof tops.

Bologna Hospitality at its Best!

We had an incredible time in Bologna. Stefano and Elena were the best hosts imaginable. They offered us restaurant suggestions, helped book reservations, got us a parking spot, and so many other things. They truly made the stay special.The apartment itself is in a great location, with tons of shops and restaurants right nearby. Both the train station and the main piazza are about a 15 minute walk, making it a great place to call home base. We loved our stay, and are glad we got to experience Bologna hospitality!

A Haven in the Center of it All

My family stayed here for three days in the middle of a ten day Italy trip. Elena and Stefano made us feel right at home. All the restaurant recommendations were on point. The ideas of things to visit, as well! We loved the fact that there was A/C and a laundry machine, as we chose to do this trip with only carry on luggage due to the train travel we were doing. The apartment is clean and comfortable. There was even espresso. I would highly recommend making this your base for a Bologna stay.

Perfect Location and Delightful Hosts

If you want a quiet place in the historic center of Bologna you can’t do better. Stefano and Elena are always ready to help you, and the apartment is nicely updated. We spent many a morning out on the balcony which overlooks a quiet courtyard. You are minutes from Bologna’s central market and piazza, and many cafes and restaurants are even closer.

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
