La Porta Rossa: elegante e tranquillissimo appartamento nel centro di Bologna

We had a perfect stay at La Porta Rossa. The flat was a generous size — ideal for us and our two teenage daughters — with two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, laundry, and a delightful terrace. It was superbly appointed; Giuseppina and Marco thought of everything and selected top-notch materials. Two things that made it even more wonderful: great A/C and a clothes dryer. (Most places in Italy have washing machines, but dryers are harder to come by. Giusy had both. )

The location was ideal, too. We were right in the heart of the centro storico, but the street was quiet and felt just far enough from the hustle and bustle. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go — shopping to sightseeing to restaurants.

We were also happy about the parking space — a rarity for visitors to the ZTL. Fortunately, the flat comes with covered parking, and Giusy was able to provide us with a ZTL permit.

Finally, the best part was our host Giuseppina. She was a delight! She was very communicative, took the time to show us everything in the apartment, texted us during the stay to make sure all was going well, and even checked in with us to make sure we got to our next destination safely! Her restaurant recommendations were spot-on, too!

We would definitely stay at La Porta Rossa again, and will recommend it to all our friends planning visits to Bologna.

We really enjoyed this apartment. It was just as advertised. Giusy was excellent to deal with. The apartment is very well equipped in a quiet but central location. The beds are very comfortable and everything worked very well. There is a large terrace. We will visit again.

Excellent apartment with top quality fittings and fixtures. Very welcome terrace area and helpful leaflets .Within walking distance of main tourist attractions and Bologna is a city to which we will return..

Friendly host met us on arrival and gave clear explanations on the apartment, local attractions and restaurants etc. Very clean, comfortable beds, good shower/bath and heating (essential in February!). Location excellent - quiet area, yet very close to main areas and the train station. We made the right choice.

Estuvimos muy a gusto. Giusy y Marco estuvieron atentos en todo momento.

La casa es amplia, muy bien equipada y tiene un garaje cómodo. La situación es ideal, se puede hacer todo a pie.
