Guest Reviews

• Admira (8/5): -
• Christine (6/5): You are paying for location and views. - Excellent location and fantastic views from the terrace A bit shabby, could do with an upgrade and professional decorating. Nowhere comfortable to sit other than on the bed. Fridge door doesn’t close properly and the wine fridge didn’t work at all. Anyone with mobility issues will struggle with the very tight cast iron spiral staircase
• Andrea (9/5): -
• Rudolf (9/5): - Wunderschönes Apartment mitten in der Altstadt, mit Terasse mit herrlicher Aussicht -
• Sandra (8/5): - Die Lage ist super und die beiden Balkone mit der Aussicht sind ungeschlagbar. Drumherum ist alles was man braucht, von Supermarkt bis Restaurant, Feinkostläden, Street Food, kleine Händler und auch die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind nicht weit. Was man noch wissen sollte: der Fahrstuhl fährt bis zu 4. Etage. Danach muss man noch eine Etage Treppen steigen und im Appartement selber ist eine Wendeltreppe, die man erklimmen muss, bevor man überhaupt im Appartement ist. Das Appartement hat ein Schimmelproblem im Schlafbereich. Wahrscheinlich weil es keine richtige Heizung gibt, sondern nur per Klimaanlage geheizt werden kann (und im Winter wahrscheinlich nur wenig geheizt wird).
• Catherine (9/5): -
• William (9/5): Was great to return, one of my favorite locations! -
• Valeria (10/5): Tolle Zeit in Bologna - Die Terrassen, die Aussicht ist einfach traumhaft.
• Donal (9/5): - Location! Two rooftop balconies with a panoramic view of the city. Very comfortable sleep. Meeting the owners for access was easy and pleasant. Nothing
• Andrea (5/5): - Die Lage ist top, mitten im centro Im Januar ist die Wohnung zu kalt, zugig und die Klimaanlage sehr laut Die küchenaustattung alt und minimal. Die Treppen muss man mögen. Im Frühling ist die Lage auf dem Dach sicher wunderschön.
• Millfelt (9/5): Perfectly located, best view in all of Bologna, you'll sleep like you are back home in your own bed! - The location was superb. The view from the balcony and the terrace were unmatched. The view alone was worth the 120 steps up to the apartment. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've had in all of my travels. Plenty of natural light. Very well stocked kitchen. Plenty of different places to sit and relax. The apartment was in the Center of historic Bologna, so very close to fresh fruit and veg, restaurants, shops, and the list goes on. Some folks may have an issue with the # of steps, but there was an elevator. I prefer steps and functional fitness so every step brought me closer to a view that was unmatched.
• Teresa (10/5): Superbe appartement hyper central! - Tout l'emplacement les terrasses l'appartement fabuleux! Rien
• Bernadetta (8/5): Wir verbrachten ein wunfderbares Wochenende mitten in Bologna. - Wir hatten das Studio ohne Frühstück gebucht. Dank der super cenrtalen Lage gab es genug Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten aller Art. Die letzte Treppe zur Wohnung ist etwas eng und für uns nicht mehr ganz junge Leute mit Vorsicht zu begehen.
• Marlene (10/5): Our stay at Altana was fantastic and we enjoyed the excellent location and comfort the apartment provided. The highlight - The location of the apartment is absolutely perfect. You absolutely could not be more central and the view from the rooftop balcony was 2nd to none. The decor was fresh and modern yet still comfortable and having the lower and upper Terrace felt like an added luxury. The spiral staircase was quirky and unique and the apartment was very well equipped. We loved everything. However, I think anyone with any kind of mobility issues would not suit this apartment due to the spiral stair access and split level steps inside the apartment. It was also quite a cold October week when we visited and although there were lots of extra blankets, the small heater provided seem to have a loose connection and did not work properly. Not a huge issue for us but perhaps worth replacing for future guests.
• Yves (10/5): - Schitterende locatie, vlak bij centrum, appartement had alle voorzieningen en bovendien 2 mooie terrassen met zicht op de stad. Zeer praktisch appartement. Geen opmerkingen.
• Isabelle (10/5): - Conforme à la description. Emplacement idéal La façon dont s’est déroulé le règlement du séjour qui aurait dû être payé à l’arrivée seulement selon. Booking. Il a fallu à la demande de Booking revalider la carte de crédit qui était donnée comme non valide ! Et pourtant carte visa premier valide jusqu’en 01/2028. Le seul moyen de préserver la location a été de régler avant et oh miracle il n’y avait plus decproblèmes de validité ! Surprenant !!! Désagréable impression d’avoir été trompée et forcée
• Gary (3/5): Beware before booking read the reviews and make sure that you are able to endure all of the obstacles that come with sta - Location Elevator was broken and there was never an attempt to fix it. Had to walk 111 stairs to get up to the unit with luggage. Once we reached the top there is a narrow spiral staircase to get to the room. Almost impossible to get your luggage up there. Had to walk up and down the 111 stairs daily to get in and out of the building. Multiple stairs throughout actual unit. Comforter on bed had stains on it. You cannot open windows without curtains and curtain rod falling to the ground. Shower and bathroom are very, very small.
• Marion (8/5): - Top-Lage, super Aussicht von der Dachterrasse aus. Die Wendeltreppen zur Wohnung und zur Dachterrasse sind gewöhnungsbedürftig.
• bartak (7/5): We loved our time in Bologna and at Altana. Thank you - Location excellent. The apartment was modern and light and views great. There are too many awkward , potentially dangerous steps within the apartment. Even with good mobility we found the steps a bit risky at times, especially at night
• Brad (10/5): beautiful bedroom and rooftop deck with sweeping views - Clean, modern room with a small bath, kitchen with dinette, beautiful bedroom with windows all around with beautiful views. There's a nice sized deck off the kitchen, and a large rooftop deck overlooking the city. Unique entrance (not really "didn't like) but nice to know: enter from street to elevator all the way to the 4th floor. Then, another flight to your door. When you open the door, there is a spiral staircase up to your room, then continues up another floor to the rooftop deck. We had heavy backpacks, so the spiral posed some challenge and might be a challenge for those with large suitcases.
• Jennifer (9/5): Loved the feel of Bologna and this was the perfect apartment in a perfect location to experience Bologna - The terraces were amazing, great views of Bologna. As photographers it was perfect for capturing sunrise and sunset. The apartment had everything we needed and very comfortable. The property owner accommodated us leaving of luggage in the apartment before checking in. It wasn’t an issue for us but the spiral stairs needed care and also meant we had to leave our cases at the bottom of the stairs. It wasn’t an issue as we were only staying for 3 nights so took out what we needed for our stay
• Kischk (8/5): Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und unsere Zeit im Apartment mit dem traumhaften Ausblick von den Terrassen des super zen - Die Dachterrasse und der Balkon waren traumhaft vom Ausblick und das Bett sehr gemütlich. Das Apartment ist super schön und zentral gelegen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich vom Gastgeber begrüßt, der extra bis in die Nacht auf uns gewartet hat, weil unser Zug Verspätung hatte. Insgesamt haben wir unsere Zeit sehr genossen und empfehlen das Apartment gerne weiter! Ein paar Sachen waren etwas kaputt, wie die Polster für die Liegen, welche Löcher hatten und aus denen Stücke des Schaumstoffs gefallen sind oder der Sonnenschirm, dessen Halterung stark gewackelt hat. Der Wasserbehälter von der Nespressomaschine war nicht sauber, was an dem grünlichen Belag auf dem Boden des Behälters erkennbar war. Hinzu kam, dass die Chipkarte für den Restmüll-Container fehlte, und wir deshalb die Mülltüten im Flur deponieren mussten.
• Mike (10/5): Great location and views in great city - Great location in city The spiral staircase is tricky with large suitcases
• Michael (7/5): Perfekt beliggenhed • Meget lille • Mange trapper - Perfekt beliggenhed midt i det hele! Mange trapper og niveauforskelle i en meget lille lejlighed. Flere steder er der tegn på slitage. Der er ikke meget plads til at stille sine ting, for de fleste steder står der nipsgenstande.
• Lc (10/5): Exceptional -
• Huw (9/5): We had a great stay here. The location is absolutely perfect in the centre of Bologna. The roof terrace is a great place - The central location is perfect. The roof terrace overlooking Bologna is hard to beat. Nothing
• Jane (10/5): Perfect city break location - Amazing location! The apartment had everything needed, bedroom was comfortable. The terraces were superb. The roof terrace was perfect for a sunbath after a busy day of walking. Because of it’s location it’s noisy. Ok for me as I can sleep through anything, but my fiancé is a light sleeper so kept being woken
• Andrii (10/5): Exceptional - amazing host!
• Никита (10/5): Beautiful and romantic - Location is great, the terrace is great, the room is really nice and cozy.
• Carpenter (9/5): Quirky apartment in a great location - Fabulous location, really quirky apartment with fantastic views from the terraces. Very comfortable bed. Great communication from the owner. We had a lovely week in Bologna Loved everything, the stairs up to the apartment and roof terrace may be a challenge for those with mobility issues or with big suitcases, but we thought it was quirky
• Marisa (7/5): Great location but needs some love & attention - Fantastic location with beautiful views Not previously advised of the narrow spiral staircase which we had to carry our luggage up. More concerning was the black mould on the ceiling & the exposed electrical wires behind the television.
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (9/5): Superb -
• Larry (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Loved the terrace at the apartment. Beautiful sunsets
• Ross (8/5): We loved the apartment.. layout and facilities were great. Only downside was the spiral stairs to access .. fine for tho - Location = none better Spiral staircase
• Angela (10/5): Amazing apartment with an incredible view! - Incredible 360 degree view from the roof terrace. The lower terrace was also a great spot for breakfast. The location was perfect with everything on your doorstep. We had no problems with the spiral staircase but some travellers my find it a bit of a challenge. Nothing
• Helena (10/5): excellent! - Great location and beautiful views from the terraces. Host was very friendly and appartment had everything we needed.
• Shauna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dawn (10/5): Beautiful panorama views of the city in a great location - Aussicht war wunderschön
• Jayne (10/5): Exceptional - Having a 360 view from the roof top with sun beds and a balcony of the kitchen was fantastic. Location was right in the town but not noisy at all. We were blown away by this apartment Unable to fault it.
• Karen (10/5): Wonderful unique apartment with incredible views and perfect location - We loved Altana Bologna. Its rooftop location - the spiral staircase access - makes it unique and beautiful. It’s modern, comfortable, well-equipped and the location in the centre of old Bologna is incredible. Finally, the hosts are responsive, kind and gracious. We plan on returning again next year and highly recommend. Nothing. Everything is great.
• Sophie (9/5): Great location, comfortable apartment with amazing views - We loved this apartment. Great location right in the centre of the old town with everything on your doorstep. Especially one of the best bars/delis by the front door. Apartment was comfortable, with very good aircon and cooking utensils etc. The two terraces are the star of the show with incredible views and a lovely place to sit and relax or sunbathe on the roof. We had a few issues checking in and communication could have been better. We had to wait for quite a long time, however, the host did make up for this on check out with allowing us extra time to stay in the apartment. If you have lots of big bags the stairs might be tricky but we managed it & 100% worth it for the views.
• Dylan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing views from the balcony! Apartment was clean and comfortable. There is a small spiral staircase to go up to the apartment which is challenging with lots of luggage
• Xavier (9/5): Perfect location. Very accommodating host. - Great location. Very accommodating host. There was a bad smell that would appear every so often. The host sent someone to take a look as soon as we mentioned it, but the smell still came back.
• Ioanna (9/5): Superb - The view from the top is stunning and the interior of the apartment is just magnificent! Also the location is key point for a short stay! It was amazing ! Due to the central location some noise is inevitable (at night)and you have to consider in order to reach the top there are some stairs.
• Anca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gabriel (10/5): Best location ever - Everything Pillows
• Lisa (9/5): Great apartment in the middle of it all! - Unfortunately, we had a delayed arrival until the 2nd day, but were still warmly greeted in the midst of a crowded festival day. It was a very busy day for the host, but we were welcomed and given a detailed overview of the apartment and the surrounding areas and attractions. The location of this apartment could not be any better. We look forward to returning to Bologna and will definitely plan to stay at this apartment! The rooftop terrace and its view are PHENOMENAL!!! This is not a bad thing, and we actually enjoyed this charming feature, but there is one spiral staircase to the apartment from the elevator, and another to reach the rooftop terrace. Those with large pieces of luggage (or bad knees) may not have the same appreciation we did.
• Downie (9/5): 360 degree views of Bologna from your own roof terrace. - The terrace!! 360 degree views of Bologna was simply beautiful!! Wonderful central location with food markets underneath. Would absolutely recommend and stay again. Nothing.
• Roman (10/5): Superb location and exceptional stay. Highly recommend. - The location was perfect and the views from the terrace were spectacular. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet given its central location. There's a lift in the building that takes you to the 4th floor, then you need to walk up a flight of stairs to the apartment door, and then finally a small circular staircase to the roof top apartment. We had a medium-size suitcase and a carry-on suitcase and found it very manageable getting to the apartment. If ever in Bologna again, we would stay here another time. We used the very small washing machine but the rinse & spin cycle didn't seem to work properly. We ended up rewashing our clothes at our next stay in Siena.
• Victoria (10/5): Fabulous terrace in an amazing part of Bologna! - So lovely!!! nothing but wonderful things to say about the apartment and location n/a
• Paul (9/5): Superb - The highlight of this property is the fabulous panoramic views of the historic Centre from two well-appointed rooftop terraces. Part of the charm is the miniscule elevator that takes you up 4 floors. You will then have to climb another floor before getting to the door. Once through that door, there's a wrought iron circular staircase that brings you to the little apartment. We had two carry-on suitcases, so getting up the very narrow circular stairs was not an issue. The bed was very comfortable and amenities modern. The apartment is located amongst little bustling streets packed with a variety of shops, markets and restaurants, and a stone's throw from multiple historic monuments and churches. Noise was not an issue at all. One of my all-time favorite rentals. The washing machine does not spin, so we had to wring out our clothes by hand and dry them using the drying rack on the terrace. Not a major issue.
• Fiona (9/5): Superb -
• Diane (10/5): Lovely oasis... I didn't want to leave, the view is even better than the food in Bologna. - The location and space are lovely. Its a castle like adorable bologna dream. The stairs are hard, but the greeter so helpful with the luggage in arriving and leaving. Mostly very clean, but there is rust on the sun bed pillows which stained my beach wrap towel, my sun hat and my bikini... I recommend not touching them.
• Heidi (8/5): Very good -
• Melanie (8/5): Very good -
• Steven (8/5): Very good - We had a really good stay in the apartment and a fantastic stay in Bologna. The vieuw from the terrace was great and we really enjoyed the appartement .
• Rachel (10/5): Amazing apartment, perfect location, will be back! - The location and terraces (2!!) were amazing, could not get better. Staff were really good to deal with and apartment was really nice for a couple. We loved our stay here. fyi as other reviews have said, there are a lot of stairs inside and outside the apartment. If you have mobility issues maybe consider staying somewhere else.
• Laura (10/5): SPECTACULAR - Amazing flat with two terraces in a very central location, I will definitely be coming back! Wish we stayed for longer - definitely recommend staying here.
• Lara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eli (8/5): Great location and great balconies. Tough access to and in the room (stairs and more stairs). - Location is superb. In the center and close to various restaurants. I loved the balcony- there were 2 with great view! The room was big enough for me and the support was friendly and helpful. All in all good. The way to the room is difficult- elevator goes to the 4th floor and one more floor on foot. Also you enter the room and have to go up a round staircase which was not easy for me, hence impossible for elder or handicap people. The washing machine was semi-working and the amenities were lack. There was some coffee/sugar/etc. but I think it was pretty old and disappointing comparing to other apartments I stayed in Bologna in previous years.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - I was met with the keys, buy my usual helpful contact. Nothing could have been better. As ever all excellent.
• Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Traceu (9/5): Fabulous apartment in heart of Bologna - Fabulous location, excellent communication with the hosts. Good facilities and a very comfy bed It was a little cold but the host had provided extra heaters and we did stay in January
• Christos (10/5): Incredible location with breathtaking views from everywhere!! - Absolutely THE best possible location in the center of Bologna’s old town, surrounded by amazing restaurants, shops, cafes, and historic sites! The view from the two terraces are spectacular! The roof terrace is absolutely stunning and very romantic at night. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen, while small, is very adequate. Besides, there are far too many great places to eat in the neighborhood to bother with cooking. However, the option is there for those that wish to buy fresh produce and pasta and have a romantic dinner at home. There is a small Nespresso machine, but be careful to buy the correct pods! There are 3 sizes, this is the middle size. Please note that the elevator is very small. only 2 people can fit - without much luggage. There are also a lot of stairs to climb after getting off the elevator and to access the roof deck. There are also stairs within the apartment. So this is not meant for anyone with difficulty walking or using stairs. I found it a great way to get added exercise into my day. The bathroom is a bit small and is lacking an outlet for the hair dryer, you need to plug it into the kitchen outlet. The bathroom outlet is only for low voltage items. The washing machine is small. A new washing machine is arriving soon, but you will still need to hang dry your clothes. We found the towel warmer works well for drying clothes. There isn’t a sofa in the unit, so you must relax on the bed. I think a small 2 person loveseat in the kitchen area below the wine chiller would make a nice addition. Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommended if you want to be in the center of everything! Missing a small sofa 🛋
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kä (8/5): Very good - A but cold was the room
• Sue (9/5): A great little apartment, clean and well equipped with glorious terraces. - The terraces! Location in the centre of everything- but very noisy on Saturday night.
• Elly (10/5): Exceptional - Central location. Great air conditioning. Lovely views from terraces. All amenities. Great in total. 2nd time staying here. Love it. Nothing. All great.

• Thomas (9/5): Superb -
• Kenneth (8/5): Very good -
• William (9/5): Superb -
• Tracey (10/5): The most beautiful apartment in a city of historic echoes, sights & towers. - Loved everything about the property & Bologna. It was clean, very well equipped, comfortable & the host spent time sharing information about the area. The two terraces were amazing & could easily be spotted from the top of the Asinelli tower which was well worth the climb. We spent 5 days in Bologna & still have more that we'd like to go back to see and experience. Nothing. It was all superb!
• Anonymous (9/5): Great location in Bologna - Great location with stunning terrace views if the city
