We know what you need when you travel for business or vacation - a nice, clean, roomy, well-equipped, centrally-located accommodation with plenty of comfort and convenient to all spots in town - all for a decent price. Well, with Lavanda you definitely got it!
This great, fully equipped, thoroughly renovated rental apartment (May 2007) is located in the very center of the historical part of Bologna, a 100% safe, away-from-the-mess area next to the gorgeous San Domenico church and Piazza Maggiore, the true heart of town with everything at hand. Shopping at the top fashion stores, dining at the most renowned restaurants, visiting the celebrated monuments of the Italian capital of gourmet food, fashion and leisure, Bologna, has never been easier – just a few minutes walk under the beautiful arches that made this city famous.
Porticoes are indeed the most typical emblem of Bologna and Lavanda’s own is among the most picturesque ones. With shops and stores, excellent little family restaurants and the best ice cream parlor in town right around the corner (and so is the bus stop, with many lines taking you anywhere for only one Euro), the main door opens up under one of the arches next to a 1700’s terracotta work of art to give way into the utmost comfortable abode, ground floor.
Cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter with air conditioning and a double heating system provided, this rental comfortably accommodates up to eight guests in three rooms (one bedroom with one queen-size bed and two singles that can be assembled to form another queen-size; another bedroom with a queen-size bed that can be split into two singles; a livingroom with a queen-size sofa bed), one bathroom, kitchen, hallway and a small patio.
As well as the rest of the house the kitchen is fully equipped and all the necessary cooking tools, dishes and silverware are provided, so to allow you to cook Italian (cookbooks are also provided) and dine al fresco in the patio featuring a table with chairs and an umbrella, if you like. A washing machine, a dishwasher, a microwave oven, a fridge with a freezer, a vacuum cleaner, an iron with its ironing board and many other items are provided along with a TV/DVD set, a stereo and fast ADSL internet connection - all brand new and in perfect working order, all included in the price.
As for the furniture and the general decoration, they have been carefully selected by Anna Rita, the owner, at the top of her zest and care. A well-known painter and an excellent cook, she will help you with all the necessary hints about the house and the city in general, being available whenever you need her.
Absolute convenience, class, quality, friendliness, reliability, low prices - all this definitely sets Lavanda among the top rentals in Bologna. Forget about any other options - Lavanda is your home here!

Thank you for the nice words about our rental. We put two sofabeds in the livingroom just to accommodate 2 additional guests after the first 4. It is indeed more suitable for families with children this way. Cheers!
