ALEMANNI HOUSE, Bologna

The apartment sits on Via Mazzini, a short stroll from the historic centre's walls. A bus stop 30 metres from the entrance offers frequent service to the city centre in around 5 minutes, as well as to Bologna Centrale station. Sant'Orsola Hospital is within walking distance, making the location practical for medical visits. Nearby amenities include a supermarket, pharmacy, bakeries, cafés, and casual dining - all within a 5-minute walk. The apartment is set back from the street in a quiet, tree-lined courtyard, so despite being on a busy road, interior noise is minimal.

The apartment comprises a spacious open-plan living and dining area with a sofa, dining table, and flat-screen TV, plus a separate bedroom with a double bed. The bedroom faces Via Mazzini but is well sound-insulated; light sleepers may still prefer a white-noise app. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, bidet, and free toiletries. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, electric kettle, tea/coffee maker, and cookware - practical for self-catering. A mobile air conditioning unit is available on request. Decor is modern and cheerful, with tiled floors and a city-view aspect.

The apartment's kitchen is well stocked for cooking full meals, with a stovetop, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and basic ingredients such as coffee, tea, and sugar provided as a welcome gesture. For those who prefer to eat out, the immediate neighbourhood offers a cluster of dining options all within 300-500 metres: Pizzeria Mazzini, Dal Barone, SPAN Pizzeria, La Cremeria 194, Pasticceria Bistrot Rapid Sas, Ca.Fe Mazzini, Principe Lievito e Cucina, and Mika. The historic centre's broader restaurant scene is a 15-20 minute walk or a short bus ride away.

The property does not include a pool, spa, or gym. However, the location is ideal for city-break activities: Piazza Maggiore, the Two Towers, Santo Stefano Church (2 km), and La Macchina del Tempo (2 km) are all reachable on foot in 15-30 minutes. The apartment's quiet courtyard provides a pleasant outdoor area for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.

The apartment offers free Wi-Fi throughout, a washing machine and dryer, ironing facilities, and a cot on request. Parking is available at a nearby public lot for €7.50/day (no reservation needed) or free on-street parking on weekends.
