VILLA MASI RENTAL ROOMS, Bologna

The villa sits in a peaceful neighbourhood just outside the city walls. The historic centre, with Santo Stefano Church (2 km) and Piazza Maggiore (4 km), is reachable on foot in about 15-20 minutes or by bus from stops very close to the property. The area feels safe and is well served by public transport, making it easy to reach the centre late at night. Paid street parking (approx. €7.50 per day) is available on the surrounding streets for those arriving by car. Several cafés, bakeries, and a gelateria are within a 5-minute walk (Caffetteria Murri 101, Principe Lievito e Cucina, Gelateria Gregori, and others). The property is also conveniently near the Istituto Rizzoli hospital.

The property offers single, double, and quadruple rooms. Double rooms are available with either a private or a shared bathroom - confirm the bathroom type when booking. The quadruple room provides three beds and a private bathroom. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, and a work desk. Some rooms are attic-style, which adds character. However, a number of rooms share internal plumbing that can produce disruptive noises - water pumps and drains audible at night, especially in rooms No. 2 and No. 6. The villa itself is charming and well-maintained, though some rooms show signs of wear: occasional broken fixtures or stray marks. Most travellers find the rooms clean and good value for the price.

For active leisure, the surrounding area offers rafting opportunities, making this a suitable base for outdoor enthusiasts. The property itself has a garden and a terrace where guests can relax. The quiet neighbourhood also provides a pleasant environment for evening walks.

Wi-Fi is available free of charge in rooms and throughout the villa. Daily housekeeping is included. Luggage storage is available at no extra cost, useful for early arrivals or late departures. Pets are allowed on request with no additional fee. The property is non-smoking throughout and uses key access. Accepted payment methods are Visa and MasterCard. Service is run remotely - there is no on-site reception, but the owner responds via WhatsApp. Check-in is self-service via a code provided by message. Some travellers have noted that advance planning is needed to know the room number and code.
