Rooftop Garden - Elegant Apartment in Historic Bologna

Welcome to Rooftop Garden, an elegant apartment nestled in Bologna's enchanting historic center. Located on the second floor (with elevator) at Via de' Carbonesi 7, this 80m² sanctuary occupies a former 17th-century convent, preserving authentic architectural character with charming level changes that tell the building's story.

The true gem of this property is its private rooftop garden—your personal escape with fragrant jasmine, breathtaking city skyline views, and a peaceful gazebo perfect for morning coffee or sunset aperitivos. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed bedroom, full bathroom (shower + bidet), bright living room, and equipped kitchen with Nespresso.

Modern comforts include WiFi ("Rooftopgarden"), air conditioning, washer/dryer, and quality amenities (hair dryer, iron/ironing board, shampoo). Everything you need for authentic living in Bologna's most storied quarter.

Perfectly positioned within 200m of Due Torri and 300m of Piazza Maggiore. For parking, book Garage Farini (Vicolo S. Damiano 3/3a, tel +39 051 266086, ~€45-50/night) or use free parking at Ex-Staveco. Host Vittorio shares his deep passion for Bologna. Rated 9.5/10 on Booking.com with Location score of 9.9.

Great place to stay! Love the outdoor garden space. Location is super convenient to the city center - wish we would have stayed another night. The host was so nice - we had train issues getting to Bologna and they were very understanding. Highly recommend!

Vittorio was extremely helpful with our stay, he told us where we could store our luggage very close by so we could stay and have lunch in town and walk around some more before leaving. This apartment is located in a perfect part of the historic district. Easy walking to all sites and restaurants. One of the best little gems in Italy.

Excellent apartment close to Piazza Maggiore, and all that Bologna has to offer. My only suggestion, would be a shower curtain or glass partition on the tub. Having to sit to wash off is not convenient. However, that said, I would highly recommend this stay without hesitation.
