Residenza Palazzo Marchesini

The property was absolutely beautiful in a great part of town, close to the main city but residential and quiet. The room was very nice with a large outdoor terrace.

It didn’t bother me, but this property is up a few flights of stairs. The host was very nice and carried my luggage up for me.

Carlo! Is the host with the most! Supremely helpful with advice on tours, authentic restaurants and directions. Ample, delicious breakfast in a room full of history. . And that 360 degree view of bologna from the rooftop...was breathtaking. Beautifully antique and grand accommodation within walking distance to all of the historical centre. My bedroom balcony view was dreamy. And so silent despite the vibrancy on the street. I slept deeply. The ancient timber staircase creaked in the most lovely way and made me think of the countless others that have climbed it and that in some small way I too was part of this palazzos history.

What I didn't like.... was leaving...

Excellent location. Carlo the owner is very helpful and kind, and always available. The palazzo is exceptional with antique furniture and great history.

The location was perfect and our terrace and view was so beautiful! The breakfast was delicious and Carlo was incredibly nice and helpful. He carried our bags up the stairs and made restaurant reservations for us.

Carlo is a wonderful host and went out of his way to make our stay an unforgettable experience in Bologna!

Carlo, the owner, is a gem. He ensured our stay was comfortable and he took the time to tell us about his favourite sites and activities. And most importantly, where to go and eat a delicious meal nearby! We had a fabulous time.

Great location, beautiful apartment and a great host that made sure my trip to Bologna was good by making restaurant reservations and recommending me places to see. The breakfast was amazing as well. Absolutely worth the money😊

We had a short stop over in Bologna and stayed here. it was within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Carlo made us feel home and we enjoyed espresso on the balcony in the morning with a beautiful view of the rooftops.

Residenza Palazzo Marchesini is as close as you can get to being a houseguest in a centuries-old, family-owned Bologna palazzo, because that's what it is. You'll be greeted by Carlo, the owner, a lifelong Bolognese who is dedicated to your comfort and gives excellent advice for cultural visits and restaurants. You'll stay in a simple, very comfortable bedroom with a comfortable bed, effective shower, and excellent air conditioner. Breakfast is served in a huge room full of family portraits, objets d'art, and two pianos. Carlo's terrace offers an amazing view of the beautiful historic center of Bologna. He is a true gentleman and a great host.

Be prepared to climb about 70 steps to reach the apartment. Carlo will help with your bags.
