Motor Valley XX

Holiday Rental Description

You'll find this studio apartment in the heart of Bologna. Although the outside of this former palace has old-world charm in spades, this flat's interior is all about those sleek, 21st-century touches. We're talking a luxe rainfall shower in the marbled bathroom, a compact, smartly-designed kitchen with a coffee capsule machine and quirky mechanic-inspired wallpaper behind the comfortable bed. It's a snug, somewhat dark space, we're not going to lie, but it's stylish – and if that's not enough to tempt you, the location sure will.

You're smack-dab in the centre of it all, just an eight-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. The city is at your fingertips, so spend your days here museum hopping, sightseeing and wandering the cobblestone streets in search of hidden gems. Excellent eateries are on your doorstep, too – whether you fancy pasta and gelato or aperitivo alfresco at the chic wine bars nearby, there's something to whet everyone's appetite.

Home truths:
