Bologna Skyline, our beautiful, elegant, cozy 2-room apartment with a special feeling to it, was designed to offer the tourist, the corporate person, the family and whoever needs to be in Bologna for a limited period of time a centrally-located accommodation at the top of comfort, convenience and quality-price ratio.
Completely refurbished in May 2012, our apartment is part of an elegant, modern residential complex located in the Porta Mascarella-San Donato area, a central key location to all spots in town – Piazza Maggiore, the Fairground, the railroad station, the University, all reachable in a few minutes walk with stores, shops, banks, restaurants, etc. surrounding. Connected to the rest of the city by the very efficient Bologna public transport system (city bus – stop right at the door), Bologna Skyline features its own parking facility (underground garage) and a rather large, totally accessible park and playground area in the back of the complex. All the above make our apartment the ideal solution for small families with children as well as those wiling to move around either by bus or car.
Light-filled, extremely comfortable, perfectly functional and safe with its sturdy anti-intrusion door, the apartment was renovated in May 2012. It is composed of one bedroom (two single beds that can be assembled to make a queen size) with a desk and a chair, a large living-dining room with a very comfortable queen-size foldup sofabed, a fully-equipped kitchenette, a bathroom (shower) and an amazingly beautiful furnished terrace with a breathtaking view over the roofs, the towers and the hills of Bologna – the ideal spot for your alfresco dining and relaxing, a wonderful feature that would make your stay an unforgettable one.
A top-floor apartment, Bologna Skyline features absolute quiet in an amazingly comfortable environment. Furniture and furnishing were chosen with the utmost love and zest, mattresses and frames are new, firm and great for your back, all linen (bathroom, bedroom, kitchen) are top quality and provided at no extra charge. A washing machine, a digital tv, an excellent heating system and all primary appliances are provided together with free, 24/24, 7/7 wifi internet connection. The apartment is air conditioned.
Given all the above, Bologna Skyline is without any doubt one of the top accommodations in this beautiful capital of gourmet food, fashion and fun – except for its prices, that are definitely below average in its range. No reason to hesitate, look no further – book Bologna Skyline now!

The pictures accurately show the apartment - It is a studio with a bedroom off to the side. The balcony is great with nice views of the old city, and perfect for morning and evening meals. Alessandro was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, even checking up with us during our stay to ensure our comfort. He gave excellent recommendations of things to do in the city and areas to explore. The apartment is within walking distance to most attractions, supermarkets, and very convenient to the train station. The apartment contained everything we needed and was very well stocked with some basic food preparations, laundry facilities, and bathroom needs. This apartment may be a little tight for 4 adults, but for a couple or a small family it should be just right. I look forward to being in Bologna and at Skyline again in the near future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks so much! We look forward to your next stay with us. Ciao, A&MT

This is a great apartment! We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The apartment is outfitted with everything one could need, and it is extremely clean and well situated to central historic Bologna. Alessandro is one of the best "landlords" we have had in our travels in Europe - very helpful and informative right from the start. Loved the welcome gifts! All the pictures are accurate, and as noted from previous tenants, the terrace is a real bonus, even when it is cold. If we ever have the chance to come back to Bologna, we would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks, we are flattered! But we can assure we do strive to make our guests happy. Reviews like this are definitely worth the effort. Ciao, come back soon! A.

We enjoyed a beautiful stay in an excellently equipped centrally located apartment (10 minutes walking distance from the central station and 5 minutes from the main bus station). You find all things in the appartment necessary for daily life. The owner was very supportive providing any information on local circumstances we needed. We would come back undoubtfully when being in town again. Thank you, Alessandro!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you. Having people like you staying with us is pure enjoyment. Come back soon! A.

My husband and I arrived in Bologna and were warmly welcomed by the hosts. The apartment had everything we needed, including guide books, maps, a fully stocked kitchen, linens, comfy bed, hot shower. Everything was clean, fresh, and in good working order. We loved the extra touches such as the art on the walls, DVDs to watch, and tea/coffee for the morning. It was winter so we didn't get to use the huge balcony, unfortunately, but it looked wonderful. The central location was convenient because it was close to downtown, the university, bus station, train station, two grocery stores, and the Fair District. We could walk to Piazza Maggiore in less than a half hour, easily. We stayed a month and were sad to leave Skyline.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks. Don't be sad, just come back soon and have fun in Bologna again! Ciao-

My husband and I very much enjoyed our 11-day stay in Bologna Skyline—a cheery and comfortable place that lived up to both the owner’s online description and the posted comments—and compliments--from people who had stayed there before us. The location really is great, the views really are sweeping, and the large terrace, even in November, was a welcome feature. Alex and Maria Teresa were most helpful; and we will most definitely see about renting their apartment the next time we’re headed to Bologna. - Anne C., NYCRecommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

I go to Bologna often and I should say this is truly a very nice apartment. Its central location makes it ideal. Most attractions are just a walk away with the station just 5 minutes. As you are high up you feel in another world. The terrace is perfect for dining and the view is astonishing. Your kind host supplies you with lots of information on Bologna. Free garage, wifi, very good price.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.

I had a delightful stay at the flat and it was perfectly situated for my needs. I was in town for business at the Bologna Fiere and was able to walk to the grounds safely and quickly (under 15min). Alessandro and his wife were amazingly kind and accommodating- even going so far as to drop off a personal wifi usb when the apartment's internet went down for building services. The apartment is clean and well appointed with everything I could need or want and the markets near Piazza Netuno are not far walking either. Some unexpected nice touches were left for my stay including a delicious breakfast pastry & a bottle of wine and water. I couldn't recommend Alessandro and the Skyline apartment enough, just don't try to book during the last week of September because I will be there... HopefullyRecommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Great! So we will be waiting for you. See you in September! Ciao!

If possible, we would like to give this rental more than top score. This apartment is a dream, it is clean, quiet, decorated with taste and all appliances work absolutely perfect. We slept very well and had a wonderful stay right in the middle and above the roofs of Bologna. The terrace is superb, the view is breathtaking. There is a supermarket nearby where you can find anything you need for cooking at home, but there are also a couple of outstanding restaurants in the area. Very, very convenient to the train and the bus station, no more than 300 mts.. Great owner, excellent price and a FREE garage! We would definitely stay there again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Hello! We just started and are having a great response from our guests - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We promise we will keep improving our accommodation quality. Keep booking our apartment! We did a lot to make it as cozy as possible and your appreciation is our best reward.

We enjoyed our visit in Bologna and staying at Alessandro’s very much. The apartment has a modern style with a marvellous terrace and well-working appliances. The apartment is very quiet, clean and situated right in the center of Bologna (train station – 3 min. walk!) and it was possible to get to all points of interest by foot. In spite of that we often used busses - we recommend the City Pass multiple ticket. Alessandro was very gracious and provided important hints for choosing restaurants and shops. To sum it up, a great place in a great city at a great price too! Greetings from Germany! - PaulRecommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you, Paul. The terrace is indeed the apartment greatest feature! All our guests are amazed by the breathtaking view one enjoys from there. Besides, the neighborhood is safe and has everything at hand. Recently a new gourmet restaurant opened up one block from us - it is a terrific place charging very little for a full meal - and the food is delicious!!! Come back soon!
