Scene
Charming and homey bed-and-breakfast with contemporary flair and personal touch
The heart and soul of this bed and breakfast is its owner -- Maria Ketty
-- who has been running the Bologna nel Cuore for over
a decade. Not just responsible for overlooking the renovations and decor of
this charming, orange-stucco building, Maria also provides each guest with a
warm welcome and attentive, personal hospitality throughout their
stay (while also ensuring guests utmost privacy). The bed-and-breakfast comprises of two
double rooms situated on the second floor and two small self-contained
apartments, one on the ground floor and the other the first level. Interior
design is also largely influenced by Maria, and is an elegant and homey blend
of contemporary pieces with
antique family furnishings, all very nicely finished and impeccably maintained. The atmosphere is peaceful and polished.
Location
On a typical, cobbled street in the center of Bologna -- five minutes' walk from Piazza Maggiore
This bed-and-breakfast is
situated on Via Cesare Battisti -- a narrow, cobbled street typical of Bologna
located in the heart of the city's historical center. Bologna's main
square, the charming Piazza Maggiore is five minutes away on foot and is
surrounded by plentiful shops, bars, and restaurants. The symbol of Bologna,
the Two Towers, are about a 10-minute stroll away while there are numerous
picturesque churches and basilicas within walking distance. Those arriving by
train will find themselves 10-15 minutes away by cab, or 20 minutes by local
bus, while Bologna's Guglielmo Marconi Airport is a 20-minute drive from the
hotel.
Rooms
Individually styled blend of modern and antique with smart TVs and air-conditioning
The hotel has
just two rooms and two apartments, all decorated with a mix of fresh
and simple contemporary styling with some modern furnishings and unique antique
pieces. Apartments have particularly well-equipped kitchens including washing
machines, ovens, stovetops, fridges, and plenty of cookware. All accommodation
includes free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and large smart TVs with USB ports,
while individually designed bathrooms include a jumble of toiletries and a few
quirky touches.
Features
Particularly well-presented and extensive breakfast and on-site parking
Since this is a bed-and-breakfast, there's not much in the way of facilities,
however Maria serves up an excellent breakfast each morning (for those in rooms rather than apartments) and can answer questions
or provide tips for exploring the city. As
the Bologna nel Cuore is located in a ZTL (restricted traffic) area, upon
arrival Maria can arrange an entry permit and there is also private garage
on-site for guests' use (for a fee). Wi-Fi
is also free throughout the property and there are numerous maps and guides on
hand to help navigate Bologna. Many guests choose to take advantage of Maria's local knowledge for restaurant recommendations.
