Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Donato-San Vitale, Bologna

Really hospitable and very friendly. Such a homely place and very scenic.

Carolina & Cristina’s place was beautifully decorated , had the comfiest beds and great linen. Each room area had its own privacy and very well decorated. We loved our stay in Bologna , walking to all the beautiful historical sites and eating at the local restaurants. Very conveniently located. They Even provide an area /tools for a stay-in meal. House is fully equipped and stylish.

The cottage is immersed in nature and exactly as described: you can breathe a lot of tranquility. The outdoor hot tub was wonderful, and the owners took care to let us find the water at a perfect temperature. They were also very helpful in adapting to our needs and schedules, if there is an opportunity we will definitely come back in the future.

We had a lovely stay at the house, cool. Well-equipped kitchen (with everything we needed for breakfast!!), we particularly enjoyed the 2 high chairs and 2 umbrella beds at your disposal (as well as the 2 bathrooms). We did not understand on the listing but the house is not "insulated": there is an apartment below, and a chalet a little higher up on the grounds. However, we were not bothered by this. No mobile network in the house but wifi. Very responsive host who gives instructions on what to do in the area.

Words cannot explain how beautiful this home is! From the warm fireplace to the beautiful furnishings and feel of the home, we loved EVERYTHING about it. Tiziano was so helpful with recommendations and we can’t wait to come visit again and share a bottle of wine with him next time. 10/10 would recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a small town home with plenty of small local places to eat/drink.

It was one of the best vacations we had in Italy! One of the best airbnbs we've stayed in. Super private, quiet, peaceful, relaxing, etc. Everything we needed and were looking for on this trip. The views and landscape are so breathtaking! So many nature! And best of all: dog friendly! Can't wait to go back soon!

Our son was with his trainer for 1 week in Castel San Pietro Terme. They loved Cristina's place and really enjoyed their stay there. Cristina was very nice, helpful and accommodating. The apartment was equipped with everything you need. We definitely recommend it. If we are in the area again, we would be very happy to book with Cristina again.

Rosanna was welcoming and available by WhatsApp during our stay. Central accommodation with easy access to the train station on foot which allowed us to leave the car in the courtyard during our days spent in Bologna and Florence. In the middle of Motor Valley where all car manufacturers are accessible. She recommended nearby restaurants and stores. The place was very clean and the kitchen was perfect for cooking in the evening. We particularly appreciated the Parfin pizzeria (closed on Wednesdays but open on Sunday evenings) a few minutes' drive away, which allows you to take away to eat quietly in the apartment.

Thank you very much, Piero and Everest, who was our contact. We had a problem with our rental car and Everest was kindly able to pick us up at the station. Even without a car, we found it is very manageable with an about 20 minutes walk to the train station. The house is very nice and we loved the nature. And the pie that the hosts prepared for us is to die for! Many thanks for everything, we definitely recommend Piero’s place.

Mr. Guido is really a super host! Very kind and helpful right away, as soon as we arrived he welcomed us in person and gave us all the information about the accommodation. The apartment is very comfortable, spacious and we found impeccable cleanliness. The kitchen is fully equipped and the refrigerator is super stocked with everything you need for breakfast. There is private parking, the area is very quiet and well served by buses, supermarket, pizzeria bars, restaurants, tobacconists, shops. However, in half an hour on foot you can easily reach the center of Bologna. It was really nice to stay in this B&B, we had a great time. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!

Very useful to visit Bologna. I would definitely recommend it

Ideal accommodation for a few lovely days in and around Bologna! Arrivederci

Diego was extremely friendly, very welcoming, and responsive to every message I sent. He recommended a fantastic restaurant — the food was absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, if I return to Bologna, I will choose Diego’s apartment again.

Very close to the city center. Perfect place to stay at when you’re wanting to be close to the center and still have your space. Very friendly host!

A great place to stay, located in the center of Bologna. Quiet, clean and comfy. You can eat outside on the balcony when days get warmer. I met Elena’s husband when I arrived, and he was very kind and helpful. Recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Bertieri. The apartment, extremely well-located, was charming. Maria is a wonderful host. She took the time to give us some tips and ideas on how to enjoy a true Bologna experience. We would return in a heart beat. Marie and Alain

From a long retired couple... Very enjoyable week's stay during September in Ruth's spacious, clean, comfortable and comprehensively equipped, family oriented villa. Ideal base for local hiking (which we didn't) and surprisingly well located, given its fairly remote position, for sampling good quality nearby restaurants (which we did). Good scope for cultural and shopping trips: eg. Bologna, Faenza, Dozza (delightful) and outlet centres incl. Barberino (convenient and extensive). We found Ruth to be a very welcoming, helpful and accessible host with a ready wealth of local knowledge - a much underrated asset that certainly enhanced our visit. 6Stanco - go for it!

This was a very quiet and comfortable place in a beautiful setting. We shared the entire location with the hosts and a second accommodation. Enough privacy. Great pool that was big enough for the kids. We had a very spacious house with a private outdoor table. The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked several times at home. In the village at 10 minutes there is a supermarket with all you need. The place is rather isolated, you need a car to get around. Gabriela suggested to leave the car in Castel Bolognese, at 30 minutes by car, park it for free and travel by train to Ravenna or Bologna. That is just 30-40 minutes and saves you the hassle with parking or Zona Limitada restrictions in the Italian cities. We did not go to Firenze that is about 1.5-2 hours by car. Conclusion: great rural hide out with all luxury and privacy. We have seen many cyclists on the mountain roads. Supposedly therefore a good location also for cyclists or motorcycle enthusiasts to enjoy this region.

We stayed as a family in Andrea's beautiful place to stay - a couple with baby, a couple without a child and a grandparent couple, so 6 adults. We had more than enough space and were received very warmly. Apartment, garden and pool were great and we were able to relax well. We particularly enjoyed the oversized table where we always ate. The view is amazing and everything was absolutely clean and well maintained. We experienced Andrea and Alina as very warm and accommodating. We would come back.

Vittorio and Rosa Maria were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Vittorio provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit including a winery and cheese making factory. Also we had a fantastic meal cooked by Rosa Maria. It is a good base to visit other cities such as Modena and Parma (and others) by road or by train. The house was spacious, well equipped and felt like more like a family home with books, comfortable sofas a lovely sitting room and bedrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay and had a great holiday. Thank you Vittorio and Rosa Maria!

We spent a few days with my wife and the dog in Riccardo's property and the experience was exceptional . Wide spaces , perfectly equipped apartment, personal garden, friendly environment,...how to be at home . Yuma also really appreciated it:) and it's a place we'd love to come back to . Thanks again to Riccardo and his family for everything

A short escape from the chaos of the city immersed in silence and nature. Mauro is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic host, very friendly and professional. Baricella was stunning, very peaceful and most importantly we felt extremely safe. I cannot recommend Ylena and her beautiful home highly enough. Her home felt like a home away from home, beautifully decorated, with all creature comforts that one would expect from a five star Airbnb stay. I will be back again for sure. Thx Ylena.

We had a great time at this place. The house was very clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. A big thank you to our host who took care to leave small touches that really made the difference. We highly recommend it!
