Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Old Town, Bologna

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Marcella’s home. We arrived at night, delirious after a delay in Milan, and Marcella was amazing: communicative, flexible, and immediately warm & kind. The Villa, the grounds, the location, the kindness & hospitality of the family — bellismo! The breakfast prepared by Marcella’s father was incredible - we tried all of the different homemade jams from fruit grown on the property. So quiet and relaxing to yet super easy to take the bus right into the center (stop is directly outside the home). Plus we easily rented e-bikes to travel around. Highly recommend! Thank you Marcella and family!

Ciao Nicola and Martina - I was so busy but wanted to say thank you very much for a lovely stay. Your apartments are fantastic and in the best location for Bologna central. I will return for sure !!

Great stay at Andrea's! Thank you for all the attention and delicious breakfasts. Andrea picked us up from the airport and dropped us off on the day of our departure. She is a very friendly, smiling and generous person. Cleanliness should be highlighted: everything is impeccable and well disinfected. We were delighted with our stay and very much enjoyed staying at Andrea's place. Thanks to him!

How to be at home: a nice chat upon arrival, a comfortable and well-decorated room, in a location full of stories that your guests will surely be happy to tell you! Again, thank you Donatella for your hospitality!

The small apartment was very cozy and Gianfranco and Alice are very welcoming. The sweet breakfast was wonderful, the homemade jam very tasty. Very familiar stay. Important to know for everyone without a car: There is no bus in the evening, then you can only walk or take a taxi.

Great and cozy apartment, especially if you are a family

Everything was perfect, great communication, I needed to check in at night and it was smooth. Recommended

Very well located accommodation not far from the center and activity. Comfortable room, spacious bathroom and bright kitchen. Super daily breakfast with (delicious) homemade cake made by Sara. One small negative would be the noise in the common hallway of the rooms that does not allow for sleeping in. That said, this Airbnb is still a great place to discover Bologna!

We had a lovely overnight stay. We booked to be close to the airport and it was a short walking distance! Other than that, the town is quite small and there’s not much to do. But perfect for an overnight stay if you have to fly the next day.

Fantastic stay—spotless, comfy room with a stylish vibe. Host was super responsive and genuinely cultured, sharing great local tips. Quiet neighborhood, just a 20–30 min via bus into Bologna’s buzzing center. Highly recommend! Thank you Francesco

Located a few meters from a public transport stop that connects with the city center in about 20 minutes. Attention and kindness from Luca at all times. Thank you

Great location within walking distance to the main sites in Bologna historical centre. Host was kind and gave some good recommendations!

Whether you need a place for few days, or just one night, you can get a good night sleep even if there are parties and celebrations going on all around you. The thick walls cancel out any outside noise, so your beauty sleep won’t get interrupted. And once you wake up from your deep sleep you have a breakfast waiting for you in the minibar at your room. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay.

I had a very pleasant stay! Easy check-in. Convenient location.

Of the many places we stayed in Italy, this was our favorite. Carlo is an outstanding host. He has great restaurant recommendations, and we really enjoyed talking with and getting to know him. His breakfasts are great too. Each morning, we had delicious croissants from local bakeries, fruit, bread, and our choice of coffee. There was a savory option that looked good too. The room was comfortable with its own, secluded bathroom. We slept very well here. And the location is perfect--close to the train station as well as historic downtown, which is extremely walkable. Don't miss the panoramic view from the terrace! Finally, Carlo has a sweet, adorable dog who made our stay even better. I would recommend booking here to anyone interested in visiting the lovely town of Bologna.

Very nice and characteristic accommodation. It's a villa in the first Bolognese countryside, near the fair. View of fields but close to everything. Wonderful hospitality, Luca is a TOP Host, kind and nice. The part of the house dedicated to the BnB is separate from Luca's house, with a common entrance/living area to the rooms, all with private bathrooms. It's basically a room in a small hotel in the middle of the countryside! I'll definitely be back.

We could enjoy some wonderful days in this villa. Gabriele and Pamela are amazing hosts and very responsive and helpful. We can highly recommend this place.

Carpi is a jewel with wonderful people, architecture and food- definitely going back
