Leva's Lamp XI

Holiday Rental Description

Opening up the Juliet balcony doors of this central Bologna apartment to reveal terracotta medieval facades all around is everything you'd imagine a stay in this ancient city to be.

But it's an entirely different story inside this sleek city bolthole. A team of internationally renowned architects has reimagined this grand 17th century Renaissance building into a chic, minimalist retreat that looks like a masterclass in contemporary design. It's all high-spec finishes with colourful flourishes seen in the statement, botanical wallpaper, and glorious terrazzo floor for that all-important homely feel.

Away from this luxurious home, you'll find the city's must-sees are all within easy reach on foot. Make a beeline for Fontana del Nettuni and the main square, Piazza Maggiore (both just an eight-minute walk away). Or, a smidge further, the famous Two Towers (ten minutes on foot). High roller shoppers can shop till they drop along Galleria Cavour, Bologna's luxury boutique street (eleven minutes on foot). And with the train station just a fifteen-minute stroll away, arriving in the city is a cinch. Trust us, it's all as easy as it sounds.
