Homestays in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Being an apartment and needing two rooms, we were able to enjoy the entire apartment just for us. Well furnished, I found it amusing to have to get hold of the keys by unlocking codes to various boxes. The apartment is equipped with every need (there is also a washing machine and dryer available). There are also mosquito nets which I never find either in hotels or B&Bs and which are fundamental for me! Breakfast is made up of single-dose products (snacks, biscuits, biscuits, etc.) and in the fridge there is what you need (milk, juice, water, butter, etc.). Clean environments and helpful owner (even if we only ever spoke via phone). Now, if I can give two little pieces of advice: 1-I didn't like the camera present in the common areas (which I knew nothing about) which I was told was deactivated, but which for greater zeal, we covered. 2- upon arrival you will find a leaflet with all the information on the B&B and how to get around Bologna; a very detailed and well-made booklet that I appreciated, but considering the tiredness of the journey, I would have liked a short verbal explanation, rather than having to read everything to understand how to operate the wall fans! For the rest, a B&B to recommend for those who want to stay in Bologna without spending a lot on parking and arriving in the center with the transport available in the immediate vicinity!

I stayed one night in this property with my daughter. We booked the Junior suite, a room that can comfortably accommodate 3 people because it has both a double and a single bed. Many positive aspects. Very large rooms, huge bathroom, clean, which reflects what is described in the presentation. The staff were very kind and helpful. They welcomed us in the morning even though check-in was from 3pm, so we could leave our luggage and start the visit immediately without further delays. The area is very quiet and we found free parking nearby. From the Last Minute you can reach Palazzo Diamanti in a few minutes' walk and the historic center in a quarter of an hour. Absolutely honest price. advised

When you offer a proposal like this you can't help but be successful... Ancient structure, surrounded by greenery just a stone's throw from the village.... Attended to down to the smallest details with great taste and expertly managed by Lorenzo.... Impeccable host.... kind, with refined manners, smiling and available for a very pleasant conversation.... Our room boasted great taste in the furnishings, bright despite being in an attic, perfectly clean and very large... At ”Contado” I truly felt at home and this is the best compliment I can give.... Another special mention for the breakfast that was organized by Lorenzo according to our tastes and very generous in quantity and quality.... What else to say? Passing through the area we will see each other again without a doubt!!! The road is right, dear Lorenzo, you will receive the success you deserve!

Very beautiful location, nicely kept buildings, large room. Comfy bed. Pleasant atmosphere overall. You definitely need a car, but you may also have nice walks within the large (and safe) property. The price is Ok, given that accomodation is very expensive in the area.

We enjoyed the self-checking, we never did, the very friendly and available owners, our very spacious room(a four-fold) with indoor bathroom, balcony, air conditioning and TV, Wi-Fi. Every floor has a common kitchen with the other rooms. But what more important is cleaning, really excellent. It is located in a quiet area near the center. We will certainly return when we pass through these places.

My family and I were staying on the other side of Italy but came over for a couple of nights to visit to the area. The hotel has two pools and ample seating around them . it is set in a fairly isolated part of the countryside and is very quiet. The mini apartments are doted around the property and are comfortable with good air-conditioning and modern facilities. The hotel bar is open most of the day and has a good range of drinks. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant one of the nights and it was extremely good. There are various antipasti and we shared two of them. The pasta dishes are all very good, as was the slow cooked beef casserole which melted in the mouth. There is also a fabulous kid’s menu with pasta followed by a large main course which my son struggled to finish. There is a vineyard tied to the property and the wines are truly excellent (we have bought a case back to Ireland!) Finally, every member of staff was extremely friendly and helpful making this stay even more pleasurable. San Marino, Urbino and the Adriatic are close by for an easy visit.

This was a small operation on the third floor of a building very close to the train station, as the name suggests -- why I chose to stay here – and because photos showed the room as a fairly spacious double, with a handy single bed to spread out my stuff. The room faced the street and was rather noisy at times. That wasn’t so bothersome but … although there were “no smoking” signs, the hallway reeked of a sickening cigarette smoke. The listing may have mentioned it, but there was no in-room private bathroom; instead, I was offered a “private” bathroom down the hall, which turned out to be a major hassle. The WIFI was good enough though it wasn't connecting 100% of the time. Other than that, my two-day stay was fine enough. The room came with a comfortable bed and everything I needed, including a refrigerator, and the proprietor was very helpful. I was offered a free coffee and a brioche each morning which, I was told, wasn’t always provided with reservations made through ******* (true or no, I was offered a lot more breakfast elsewhere during my trip across Northern Italy ... while paying less). All in all, given the fairly high price paid, I think I might have found more suitable lodging near Bologna Centrale. I struggled to give this review four stars; reading reviews by other guests got me there.

A spacious and clean room. Very large bathroom: water and bidet separated from a door, a laundry and a shower. Available coffee machine and frigobar. There is everything. The hotel is very available, also for suggestions about what and how to visit the city. Two steps from the center. Most advisable!

It actually operates like a hotel, without cooking, but it is clean and tidy, with a coffee machine and breakfast rolls (order a bread and coffee in the cafe downstairs). We found the place easily with the map. Fortunately, I met a resident at the door who taught me how to go upstairs! Look for the doorbell of B&an Chez Moi Lame 57 at the door and ring it, and then follow the instructions to elevator B to get up! The location is very convenient in the city center!

Ottima struttura, centralissima e vicina a Piazza Maggiore. Consigliata per la tranquillità e la comodità per chi volesse raggiungere Bologna in macchina. Il parcheggio è privato, dotato di un cancello automatico. Le camere sono ampie, pulite e con gradevole balconcino nel quale è possibile accomodarsi e sorseggiare qualcosa da bere .

I have to say everything perfect, but I'm sorry for the property but still missing something for the perfect, personally as a traveler sailed on 10 I give it to who, in addition to the basic services, sends me something more and the structure despite the beauty misses a little of some things, p.s. there are the highest coats, my fault I didn't ask if there were, for the rest all right, good breakfast but not exceptional, even on this you can improve, this is what misses for perfect ...

Gelso Bianco—where luxury meets laid-back charm, and the showers could double as alien technology. We stayed in not one, but two rooms. First, the lovely Luisa: charming, cozy, and home to the shower that NASA may want back. You’d better be ready for an instructional lesson here. My husband adored it, happily playing intergalactic shower pilot while I watched him experiment with buttons and levers, possibly trying to communicate with Mars. Then there’s Gelso—the room. Let’s just say, Luisa is cute, but Gelso is her fabulous, more spacious older sister. The bathtub in Gelso? Not saying it’s what lured us there, but it didn’t hurt. Now, on to the real star: the food! Upon arrival we mentioned about being hungry and the owner surprised us with snacks and a refreshing lack of culinary ego: “I don’t know how to cook, but I know where everything is in the kitchen.” And they know how to stock the kitchen for dinner, because everything that came out of that kitchen was, in a word, fantastic. Special shoutout to Mario—the young server on his path to becoming a sommelier. This guy is a walking encyclopedia of wine, which he charmingly used to get us tipsy by the first half of dinner (we asked for it). His passion for wine made our tastebuds (and heads) buzz with excitement. If you’re looking for a countryside escape with quirky charm, unforgettable food, and a young sommelier who could make a glass of water feel like a tasting experience, Gelso Bianco Country Resort is the spot. Just bring your sense of adventure (and maybe a manual for that shower).
