The apartment was perfect for our four-night stay in Bologna. The host was very responsive, and helpful with meal advice, and transportation. The apartment had everything one could need. Dishes, glasses, kitchen tools and appliances. We tend to eat breakfast and a light evening meal at our VRBO and splurge on lunch. There is a grocery store on the bottom floor. Bologna was a part of Italy that was new to us. We loved our stay.

This luminous, spacious apartment has everything you need for a longer stay, like great wifi, a stocked kitchen, a nice shower and a comfortable living room. It's literally a 20 minute walk from anything you might want to do. Marco is a fabulous host, and is always available for any need. Be aware that you're in the absolute center of the center of town, so there can be a little nightclub noise on some nights, but nothing a bit of fan noise or earplugs can't cover. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this apartment and would gladly stay again!

Perfect apartment, perfect location, great hosts!

We didn’t realize when we booked how perfectly situated this apartment was to all we wanted to see in Bologna (our 1st visit)! Marco & Silvia were SO accommodating in the booking, directions, check-in, & parking! The apartment was a great retreat after sightseeing & quite comfortable in the summer heat! We would definitely stay again!

A lovely stay in Bologna

We had a lovely stay in Bologna at the Frog's Hideaway. Silvia and Marco were excellent hosts, going out of their way to be helpful to us older (80 and 72) Americans. The location is close to the major scenic spots in the old city. You have an immediate sense of being immersed in the history of old, older and oldest Bologna. The charming accommodations are modern and clean.

We were on a short break to Bologna. The location of this accommodation couldn’t have been better. It was clean and had everything we needed. Marco, the host, was amazing. Kept in touch before and during our stay and was extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend. Shops, restaurants, bars, markets and transport all close by.

Ticks all the boxes.

It was an absolute joy to stay here. This modern style apartment was spacious and comfy for our month in Bolonga. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking some of the superb produce of Bolonga. Felt very safe here. It was very central, a stone's throw from the towers. The access was lovely, nothing difficult for us seniors. The host communicated well and was most helpful. Definitely the place to stay for our next trip to Bolonga.

Amazing location and wonderful host

My husband and I stayed at Frog's Hideaway for 5 nights. We loved every minute of our stay. The check-in process was effortless. Marco showed up 10 minutes after our call to let him know that we had arrived. He showed us the property and gave us the name of his best restaurants. Very friendly. The property was lovely, clean and had an old time charm. The location could not have been better. We were able to walk to the major tourist attractions and restaurants.

Bologna Discovered

What a mistake not having explored Bologna before!! Our host met us, informed us, and arranged our departure. Perfecto!!! If we return to Bologna, and I hope we do, we would certainly choose The Frog’s Hideaway again. Right in the old centre, but very quiet and comfortable. Thank you, Marco
