The Industrialist XVI Bologna, Emilia-Romagna

Property Description

From this chic, industrial-style apartment, it’s just a seven-minute stroll to Piazza Maggiore; Bologna’s main historic square where palazzos have stood since the 13th century. Winding your way through the narrow medieval streets of the Old Town around you, you’ll find cafés and restaurants spilling out beneath ancient porticos and food markets selling fresh, local produce – you’re in Italy’s gastronomic capital after all.

Once you’ve filled up on tortelloni and mortadella, head back to your quiet city bolthole to enjoy an espresso at the sleek breakfast bar. Slate-grey and ink-black dominate the decor, with industrial touches like cage lamps and silver cogs on display. Though your apartment is a sleek world of modern monochrome, you just have to glance out the bedroom windows to remind yourself you’re ensconced in a rose-hued medieval old town.
