MARCONI DREAMS, Bologna

Marconi Dreams sits in the heart of Bologna, placing major sights - MAMbo, Piazza Maggiore, and the Archiginnasio - within easy walking distance. The train station is roughly 15 minutes on foot, and a bus stop directly opposite the building provides quick connections to both the station and the historic centre. Bologna Airport is 9 km away; the paid airport shuttle or an Uber (around €30) are the most practical options. Numerous restaurants, bars, cafés, and a supermarket are concentrated within 300 metres, making it easy to eat out or shop for supplies. Parking is available on nearby streets (paid during the day) or in a public garage.

The apartment comprises a separate bedroom with a double bed, a living room with a sofa bed, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and bidet - everything on one floor. The bathroom is completely independent, meaning it is accessible without going through the bedroom, which is practical for groups or families. The kitchenette is fully fitted: stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, electric kettle, tea and coffee maker, and all utensils. A washing machine and dryer add convenience for longer stays. Soundproof windows and external shutters keep the rooms quiet for sleeping. The unit has two televisions (one in the bedroom, one in the living room) with streaming services. The apartment feels modern, clean and spacious for a couple or a small family (2 adults + 2 children comfortably).

The apartment does not provide breakfast, but the kitchen includes a coffee machine with complementary pods, a refrigerator, cooker, dishwasher and all cooking basics - ideal for preparing your own morning meal or evening dinner. A supermarket is located just around the corner for groceries. For those who prefer to eat out, a cluster of restaurants, pizzerias and cafés - including Bollicine bar, Ristorante Sikelia, Funtanir, and Bar Milano - are all within 300 metres. The host offers grocery delivery for an additional charge.

There are no leisure facilities within the building - no pool, spa, or fitness room - so recreation relies entirely on exploring Bologna on foot. The apartment's position means you are within a 10-15 minute walk of the historic centre's cafes, shops, and cultural landmarks like Piazza Maggiore and the Archiginnasio. For active stays, bike hire is available on request, and the surrounding area is very walkable.

Key services include free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the apartment, self-check-in with a door code (no key needed), and express check-in/out. The host provides clear pre-arrival instructions and is reachable by WhatsApp and phone. A lift serves the apartment floor. Paid services include daily housekeeping, grocery deliveries, airport pick-up and shuttle, public transport tickets, and babysitting. Bike and car hire are also available. Luggage storage near the apartment is free of charge. The building has 24-hour security with CCTV. The apartment is non-smoking throughout. The host responds quickly in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
