Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bologna

The location is ideal for exploring Bologna. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The aircon was very efficient. The outside terraces were pleasant to sit in.

We truly enjoyed our month stay at this lovely flat in Bologna, and would highly recommend it for anyone seeking a comfortable and spacious base for a long-term visit. The apartment itself was charming and exceptionally quiet. It provided ample room for two people, making it feel truly like a home away from home. Our main area for feedback relates to the host's detailed guidelines and the approach to housekeeping. We found the apartment came with a very comprehensive set of rules. Similarly, the weekly cleaning service, while appreciated, was more involved than expected. For guests seeking a more independent and private experience, this might be something to consider. Despite these minor points, the flat's many positives – its quietness, spaciousness, and suitability for extended stays – still made for a wonderful base for exploring Bologna and its surrounds. We would certainly recommend it, provided they are aware of the specific approach to house rules and cleaning.

Our stay at Maurizio's was perfect for our needs. The building superintendent Eugenio helped in any way and was always a joy to speak to. The apartment was supplied with anything anyone could need. The washing machine was a gift.

It is a very nice and comfortable place. The historic center is very close, so it's a great advantage. Lucia was very nice and gave us local recommendations to enjoy a delicious gelato. Just be careful not to hit your head on the ceiling. I highly recommend it

Very cozy apartment in the heart of Bologna! Nice terrace, very quiet and very responsive host - thanks Gianmaria!!

Davide was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is located in a young colorful neighborhood and is ideal for 2 people. Bologna Centrale train station is about a 25-minute walk from the apartment, the center about a 15-minute walk. Everything in the apartment is as described, a mini supermarket is also very close by. Just around the corner you will find a great street full of bars and restaurants. Thank you for the wonderful time in Bologna, we will be happy to come back.

We only stayed for two days, but we loved this place! The apartment is beautiful and you can tell the host puts in a lot of effort into it. Highly recommended!

We stayed a week at Jonathan's place and absolutely loved it! The unit was cozy and extremely clean with everything you'd need to make yourself at home. The AC was also great to have in a heatwave. The neighbourhood is lovely as well; close enough to walk everywhere with plenty of great restaurants and cafes right next to you. Much like the rest of the city center, the apartment is also under a covered archway, making it easy to hide from the rain or scorching sun. There are also many bus stations within a few minutes walk that can get you to Bologna Centrale within 20 mins. Jonathan himself was very friendly, responsive, and quick to help with anything as he and his family live very close by. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a slice of local Italian life.

Wonderful stay with very helpful hosts. The apartment was stocked with lots of great supplies.

Antonio’s apartment was absolutely perfect! It was spacious, well-located, and close to all the amenities we needed. The air conditioning was a lifesaver during the summer heat—such a great bonus! Highly recommend staying here.

The location was very good. Michele's father was very welcoming and friendly and welcomed us warmly. An air conditioner would be a great addition, but it was bearable.

Place was beautiful and well kept. So charismatic and charming. Anna Lisa made us a welcome cake and even offered us rides to the nearest bus station several times! She definitely went above and beyond! Must have a solid plan for transportation! It’s beautiful but not quick to get to from Bologna.

This was a lovely spot! It's a great bnb and I would totally recommend to others. The location was perfect for center city activities, and even a walk out to the San Luca church. Our hosts were responsive and very friendly.

Lucia’s unit was a great stay in Bologna. The location was excellent - overlooking a church, close to city center, stadium, etc. highly recommend if you are a small family or a couple. Lucia was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you, Lucia!

Beatrice is friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. She has a binder showing her recommendations for every type of meal, including maps and directions. She kindly helped us with our luggage and gave us suggestions on how to make our stay the best it could be. Overall, we had a wonderful experience in Bologna, all thanks to Beatrice. Thank you!

Gabriella and the property are both lovely. It is well located in a very walkable city. The food in Bologna was amazing, including the fresh home made breakfast prepared each morning by Gabriella. Very responsive to messages, and easy to find. Great recommendations of things to see, places to eat and even talked them them through with a map to help us out. The parking was nice and easy, and the appartment was very cool, and. also had air-conditioning just in case!

Words cannot explain how beautiful this home is! From the warm fireplace to the beautiful furnishings and feel of the home, we loved EVERYTHING about it. Tiziano was so helpful with recommendations and we can’t wait to come visit again and share a bottle of wine with him next time. 10/10 would recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a small town home with plenty of small local places to eat/drink.

Amazing house, great location, great for a bigger group - we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We had the most amazing time at Benedetta’s place. It really is a little paradise in the Italian countryside. The swimming pool is lovely, there is a lovely outside area where we ate dinner every night and the house was comfortable (if a little warm). I would advise people that there are lots of mosquitoes, obviously this is the case everywhere in Italy and has nothing to do with the property but make sure you bring lots of spray. I would also say regarding the reviews talking about lack of privacy- for the most part we had no issues with this. There was another family staying in the other property but they were friendly and didn’t bother us. There was one night where another guest arrived and was a little bit intrusive- we weren’t clear whether he was staying or whether he was just a friend who had come to use the pool- but Benedetta messaged us and apologised for this. It is a beautiful space and we were so relaxed and happy to be there. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Really nice place! Incredibly beautiful surroundings and nice and clean accommodation. Lovely private terrace. The pool was super nice and clean, and we had it all to ourselves. Valter is very friendly and he was flexible both regarding arrival and departure. Although Valter doesn't speak English, communication works fine with Google Translate. Although Valter and his wife live in the same building, you don't hear much from them, so you feel like you have the place all to yourself. A very small downside; The bed on the 1st floor was a very hard. And from the description, you might think that there is aircondition in both bedrooms. However, I had already read in another review that there is only aircon in one of the bedrooms and a fan in the other. We highly recommend the place and would live to visit again some day.

We had a very joyful stay, host was friendly from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. Loved all the animals and the beautiful scenery. Breakfast was very tasty and fresh. Communication was very easy and we felt right at home.

I had a great time, the accommodation was as described. I would definitely come back!

Vittorio and Rosa Maria were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Vittorio provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit including a winery and cheese making factory. Also we had a fantastic meal cooked by Rosa Maria. It is a good base to visit other cities such as Modena and Parma (and others) by road or by train. The house was spacious, well equipped and felt like more like a family home with books, comfortable sofas a lovely sitting room and bedrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay and had a great holiday. Thank you Vittorio and Rosa Maria!

Giulia, the team and the dogs;) were absolutely wonderful! you can get drinks and great food and just relax in the pool or walk around the area. Bologna is also just 30 min away, which is very comfortable. The place feels like a home away from home, the perfect place to relax and enjoy good company
