With a funky black and yellow colour scheme and nods to the Emilia Romagna region’s world-famous supercars, this striking loft-style apartment ensures an unforgettable stay in the heart of Bologna. Take your foot off the pedal and unwind in the cool living space – sit back and relax on the soft leather couch before putting together an antipasto platter in the sleek kitchenette.

When you’re ready to step it up a gear, head out into the charming streets that surround your building. Pore over the medieval and Renaissance structures, such as the Fountain of Neptune and the Basilica di San Petronia and City Hall in Piazza Maggiore, situated less than a ten-minute walk away. And when it’s time to refuel, seek out a traditional ristorante for a plate of famous tagliatelle alla Bolognese.
