Mark Twain
“In a historic building, just a few meters from Piazza Grande, timed by the tolling of the bells of San Petronio that you overlook, it is the perfect place to spend a weekend pampered and at peace, even if only a few meters from the multitude of people flooding the center of Bologna!”
Mario Batali
Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the lowest number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.
