L'ARENA - Most Prestigious Apartment in the Heart of the Historical Center
L'ARENA - A most prestigious rental in the heart of the Historical Center
One of the most beautiful rentals in Bologna, a very comfortable, roomy and highly prestigious one, L’Arena apartment is named after the famous Arena Del Sole theatre which sits right across the street. Away from central yet seedy, messy areas such as the train and bus station and the University department, lively and very colorful, animated, this is the best section of the vibrant Historical Center. The classiest stores, restaurants, cafes, the best shopping and the most amusing strolling are all here, under the old arches of Via Indipendenza, the very heart of the Italian capital of youth, nightlife and gourmet cuisine – Bologna.
Hence, the easiness of getting around without any need for a car. The airport shuttle bus is at a stone’s throw, about 10 different bus lines to all the interest points in town and beyond are available at the door, the railroad station is at walking distance and so is Piazza Maggiore, the center of gravity of this stunning Medieval and Renaissance urban beauty.
L’Arena is part of one of the most elegant buildings bordering Via Indipendenza. A third floor (elevator) with a view over the avenue, extremely clean and well kept, it comfortably accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 large living-diningroom, a kitchen with all the tools provided, a hallway and a small terrace. Bedding is as follows:
- Room #1: one queen-size bed and one single; - Room #2: two singles that can be put together to form a queen-size plus one single sofabed; - Room #3: two single sofabeds; - Room #4: one single bed
Furnished with choice antique furniture and craft (1800’s and 1900’s), decorated with love and zest with all the major appliances provided and in perfect working order, air conditioned and with high-speed wifi internet connection, L’Arena stands out for its class, traditional Bolognese style and comfort. It would be hard for you to find a more central and comfortable accommodation, a better spot to fully enjoy the life and the fun of this amazing city.
Other pluses: a large parking lot (garage – guarded) only about 40 mts., plenty of all kind of restaurants, pubs and pizzerias in the immediate vicinity (the most renowned restaurant in town is right across the street), Friday and Saturday open-air market in the nearby piazza, (huge, lot of fun!), theatres and movie theatres, monuments, museums, etc. right there for you to enjoy.
Comfort, convenience, class, fun and great relax: these are the key words for L’Arena, a superb place, your nr. 1 home away from home.

Carla was an excellent host! She helped us with an inexpensive, but thorough mid-stay cleaning and a
Spacious, clean, excellent location 10 minute walk to both Bologna Centrale train station (for easy day trip g around the region) and Piazza Maggiore and all the cool attractions! Many, many great local restaurants close by also! Host Carla was very helpful and communicative and arranged a mid-stay cleaning and also a very early taxi pick-up for us on departure day! Would definitely stay there again!
The location is excellent, in the center of the historic area, and hosts were wonderful and very thorough in explaining everything about the apartment. It’s a great place for travelers who enjoy a period setting with history.
The apartment in Bologna exceeded our expectations. Not only was it comfortable but easily accessible to everything you’d want to see and experience in Bologna. The hosts were extremely responsive and couldn’t have been more accommodating. I look forward to a return visit to this amazing apartment.
Amazing host and property in the centre of it all!
Immaculate property, wonderful owners, lovely small details for maximum comfort, exceptional location! Comfortable beds, great views of the main historic centre. We will be back!
This property was recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint- it was extremely clean and the owners were gracious and kind. The location was wonderful- close to good food, shopping and landmarks of Bologna. Thank you for a great experience!
We had a fantastic stay. Location was fantastic. So close to everything and plenty of food options. Was nice to have space to cook and eat dinner at home also. Would highly recommend.
The apartment was as shown in the photos. So much character, but with comfortable beds, and very well equipped. Its location on the main street of Bologna makes it so easy to walk everywhere. Carla met us with keys, and was very informative. Would definitely recommend.
The apartment was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two teens. The hosts were great and the location could not be better. Our entire family loved the place
And location! We would highly recommend it, the kitchen is a little small but efficient and we were even able to cook a nice meal after shopping at the fresh fish market!
Location is ideal : to arrive from the airport, to visit the city.
Appartement in an old building on main street
Relations with Owners were easy, explication clear, answers quickly given.
Just some improvement on beds arrangement.
