RELAIS SACRO CUORE, Bologna

The property sits on a quiet residential street in a calm neighbourhood, yet is just minutes from Bologna Centrale - ideal for train connections and the Marconi Express airport shuttle. Several bus stops are a short walk away, making it easy to reach Piazza Maggiore (3 km) and other sights without a car. The immediate area has a Carrefour supermarket, many cafés and restaurants, and attractions such as the Museum for the Memory of Ustica (6-minute walk) and MAMbo (2 km). Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is 10 km away. The quiet inner courtyard and street-facing views ensure minimal street noise, while the neighbourhood itself is peaceful.

All units provide a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, and hairdryer, plus free toiletries. Each room includes a kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and kitchenware, as well as a tea and coffee maker and a dining area. Rooms range from single to double and twin configurations (1 or 2 beds) and feature a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a seating area, and a private entrance. The rooms open onto either an inner courtyard or a quiet street. Some rooms have low ceilings and are compact, making them less comfortable for taller people. Soundproofing between rooms is minimal, and noise from the shared kitchen and hallway carries easily. The furniture is basic but functional; some rooms have newer equipment. Rooms are cleaned regularly (every two to three days).

The property does not operate its own restaurant or bar. For self-catering, the shared kitchen is well-equipped with cookware, utensils, a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and a coffee machine with free coffee and tea. Each room also has its own kitchenette. A wide range of eating options is within a short walk, including Black Fire Pub, Pizzone, Toki Sushi-Asian, and a gelateria, all within 0.5 km.

The property offers a full contactless experience: all check-in instructions and door codes are sent via messaging, and the host responds quickly. A shared lounge/TV area and a well-equipped shared kitchen are available for all guests. Lockers are provided for storing belongings. Free WiFi is available in every room. Safety features include CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and a safety deposit box. Other services include fax/photocopying, a washing machine, and an iron.
