This cosy apartment sits in a prestigious neighbourhood just outside of Bologna. Piazza Maggiore and the sights of central Bologna are a twenty-minute drive away. What this home lacks in terms of a central location, it makes up for in charm and authenticity. It's full of artwork and paintings, and old Bolognese features like tiled floors – this is a real home-from-home. The star attraction is the outside space, with its plant-filled garden, covered terrace, and patio. The perfect spot for an alfresco meal and a glass of wine, the garden is a haven.
