Wake up in the morning with daylight hitting San Petronio Basilica. Make breakfast with eggs and strawberry picked from a vegetable garden of a Villa. Come back at night to enjoy the paintings of an Iranian artist.
These are a few things you can do by choosing one of my 10 best Airbnb in Bologna.

1. Grandma Tina loved to read romantic novels in that terrace. To her is dedicated this attic in a 800′ palace that her daughter Silvia put back to life.
From the terrace you can Bologna’s skyline: the two towers, San Petronio and San Pietro’s Cathedral bell tower

2. Probably Martina will never lose her Sardinian accent, but her heart is in Bologna. She renovated a small and cosy apartment close to Certosa cemetery, an underrated landmark of Bologna. Far from the crowded city centre, choose this to sleep in a authentic nice area of the city.

3. A nest, from which you can fly to discover Bologna. And come back to rest in harmony with the landscape. That’s how Annalisa describe its panoramic apartment in Cirenaica neighbourhood. A workers and family area just outside the city walls, perfect to start your visit as a local.

4. The best way to enjoy one of our foods tours in Bologna without regrets, is to walk the steps of San Luca portico. Antonio’s apartment in the quiet of Saragozza neighbourhood is the perfect place to start your walk.   

5. A small studio-apartment near the train station furnished with vintage and recycled materials, like the beautiful bookcase made of wooden beams.

6. An elegant old man with a fancy hat. Claudia’s apartment in Casa Machiavelli, an ancient house of 500′ century, looks like that.
A unique apartment, where new custom-made furnishings perfectly integrate with the vintage of the building.

7. Bolognina is an authentic and multicultural industrial neighbourhood outside the city walls. It worths a visit not only for a nice food market and my favorite Trattoria di Via Serra, but for being the most creative and artistic area of Bologna.
You can feel this atmosphere at Barbara’s. Art events, photo shootings, readings in a nice apartment with industrial design touch.

8. Corte Paradiso arises from the idea of hosting large groups of friends or globetrotting families always on the move.
It’s a small courtyard on two floors, with a nice outdoor area where you can have cappuccino for breakfast or dine with candle light and red wine.

9. Sara and Luca’s loft is made with love. Love for restoration, of a former mechanical workshop that they bought in 2013 after years of research. Love for design, with the selection of rough materials and the wise use of natural light. Love for good food, that you can prepare in the kitchen: a 4 meters black block and a huge wooden vintage tailor table.

10. You can’t just walk by without notice it. Villa Benni was raised in 1924 by Alfredo Benni, an agronomist with lands in Bologna’s countryside. The present owners opens its gate to travelers and treat them like nobles: breakfast with home-made bread and cakes, rooms with fireplace and frescos and a huge park with vegetable garden to pick tomatoes and onions.
