Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Old Town, Bologna

Fantastic stay !!! We were 3 people who stayed here for 5 nights. Located just 30 minutes outside Bologna up in the mountains with an unparalleled view. We each had a bedroom that was cool despite the heat outside. Luxurious with 2 bathrooms with both shower and toilet when you are several. There is everything you need and even a washing machine if you are there for a long time and need to wash. Every morning, freshly baked goodies were left outside our door, arranged by the gentleman who owns the house. Incredibly calm and peaceful, and the only thing you hear throughout the day is the chirping of the various birds. We'd love to come back here❤️

Everything was great. The house is lovingly decorated and clean. The house has everything you need, the location is wonderful and close enough to Bologna. We can only recommend the house.

Marco is very friendly, flexible and accommodating, showing and explaining everything in the apartment. Everything described in the advertisement is there, only the mosquito nets not. ;) But a well-functioning air conditioner, a clean washing machine, wifi, fire extinguisher, etc.. really everything else is there. We stayed with our dog in the accommodation, the quiet environment is very suitable for this. (Unfortunately, there was no equipment for garbage separation.) The photos correspond to the decor on the property. Overall, we were very happy with the place and our host! Thank you!

Tiziana and Roberto are wonderful hosts. They were communicative and friendly. Their listing is completely comfortable and well equipped. It is also very close to Bologna but secluded and out of the way of the busy city.

Aneta was a great host, very proactive, helpful and friendly. Apartment was very clean and well designed. Beautiful green surroundings and the natural linden tree smell all around the streets and the apartment was just so amazing. It was only a 20 min train ride to Bologna center and the apartment was right around the corner from train station which was very convenient. All in all it was a great stay. Thank you again Anita! We’ll be back for sure.

We absolutely loved the house and all of the features. We spent a lot of time outside in the little patio area and our kids played basketball in the driveway. The automated windows, skylights, and shutters were very nice. The AC worked very well and kept us cool during the middle of the day when it was hot outside. The location is less convenient if you don’t have a car but we were able to walk to town in 20 minutes. The area was quiet and beautiful which is what we wanted so we didn’t mind the inconvenience. Very lovely hosts who live on the property and provided lots of information and were very responsive.

Accommodation surrounded by nature, spacious... with everything you need for a vacation of a few days. Beautiful surroundings and great for a hike in the woods around you... narrow and steep access road but accessible by car... necessary to get around... immersed in a small, very quiet village... Agata... very kind and helpful

Going there is already a party. Continuing to climb, following the directions, you will eventually arrive at your destination. Then first enjoy the spectacular view. And then to be heavily impressed by the cottage. Super big, and very authentic. We felt like a prince and princess!

Lovely very large secure garden which was ideal for our dogs. The pool was lovely and the eating area outside the kitchen was ideal. The house was comfortable and spacious and air con in 2 of the bedrooms was lovely as kept the whole house at a lovely temperature. Local bakery ideal for breakfast. 2 of our party went to the aqua park and loved it. We also visited Ferrera and Bologna.

I thank Simone for the professionalism and incredible quality of the house, furnishings and services that complete the incredible experience!!A place immersed in the green hills, surrounded by peace and relaxation. A real treat!

We loved Ruth's house. The perfect place to relax, enjoy the tranquility, nature and the pool. Although we had a car, Ruth told us how to get to Bologna by train and it was a success. We were also in Florence. Ruth has treated us as part of her family and has had numerous details, both with us and especially our 10-month-old baby. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time staying in Cristina’s loft. The garden, lovingly cared for by Giuseppe, is absolutely beautiful and was a true highlight of our stay. The surroundings are well worth exploring — full of charm and cultural treasures. Most mornings we started the day with a run through the peaceful landscape, followed by a refreshing swim in the pool. There is so much to see and do in the area, both in nature and in terms of culture. We can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special and relaxing stay.

Stayed for a few days as i was visiting the race circuit at Imola. Perfect for that, about 25 min drive direct to the Aqua Minerali entrance. Set up on a hillside , very peaceful and beautiful. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. I didn’t eat at any restaurants as i ate at the circuit and cooked at the house. There is a small supermarket in the town 10 mins away for all your supplies. Lovely to eat outside amongst the trees. Highly recommend if you visiting this beautiful part of Italy.

The property is breathtaking, with stunning views that make it a perfect retreat. A car is essential for getting around. Our host, Lara, embodied the warmth and generosity of Italian hospitality. Despite pouring rain on our arrival, she greeted us warmly and explained everything thoroughly. She texted us recommendations for the best local restaurants and checked in regularly—not intrusively, but with genuine care and passion for her guests’ comfort. Lara went above and beyond, preparing the BBQ for us, offering fresh fruit as a thoughtful treat, and providing delicious pastries for breakfast on our departure day. I would absolutely stay here again!

We stayed at Borgo Doccia 901 for two nights and the pool was wonderful. It’s fully furnished with chairs and umbrellas. . The apartment was nice, but with temperatures over 30C outside, the inside was pretty hot. I wish that they would have had a fan to help keep things a little cooler. The apartment was pretty dusty, maybe just been awhile since the last guest had stayed or just that the house was quite old. Fran only left our family of four one roll of TP and four towels (no washcloths or bidet towels) and a shower mat. I could have asked for more to be delivered, but we made due. If you are coming with kids, the bunkbed will work for smaller kids, but for two teens, it was a little small. The setting around Borgia Doccia is beautiful. Flowers everywhere and in June, three sweet cherry trees out front were in bloom, which tasted amazing! If mentioned by the host, we did cancel our last day at Natura 901 to leave early, to be better positioned for our next city visit.

Vittorio and Rosa Maria were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Vittorio provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit including a winery and cheese making factory. Also we had a fantastic meal cooked by Rosa Maria. It is a good base to visit other cities such as Modena and Parma (and others) by road or by train. The house was spacious, well equipped and felt like more like a family home with books, comfortable sofas a lovely sitting room and bedrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay and had a great holiday. Thank you Vittorio and Rosa Maria!

Lovely stay in the heart of Bologna, easy to walk to some of the best restaurants and bars italy has to offer!

WOW! Book it now. We literally waited the entire stay to write this review, and since there are millions of reasons to book this place we will focus on the highest- first Andrea is a true superhost. What a lovely person, caring, attentive and very proactive. The house is the most unique place we’ve been to, and you will fall into the 60s-70s vibes of it right away. It’s enchanting! Every room in this house is decorated to perfection, the kitchen is well equipped and the garden is a great place to view the sunset. Other than that’s it a great place for families (great variety of sleeping options for the young ones) with lots to do around. Andrea, thank you so much for everything, we can’t wait to come back.

Location is convenient as you can walk around the area, just around 15 mins drive from Central station. Love the vibe nearby as so many nice restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This place is in a very busy neighborhood with tons of bars and restaurants nearby. But also the apartment was very quiet in spite of the loud street outside. I slept heat and loved having the nightlife nearby. Walking to central Bologna was easy and about 12-15 minutes from the flat.

Spectacular apartment! Spacious and comfortable. Very neat bedding. Sebastiano is very responsive and communicates in a friendly manner. Really nice stay!

Very nice, spacious apartment, very well equipped and well located for city explorations. Best ice cream shop in town just a few minutes away. And the highlight is the balcony, where you can enjoy a coffee in the morning sun.

We are very satisfied overall with our stay at Dario’s place. The location is convenient, making it easy to get around and explore Bologna. Dario is a perfect host. He is exceptionally kind and helpful. He is really the kind of host every traveler hopes for. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. Would stay again if We ever come back to Bologna. Thank you so much, Dario, for your hospitality. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience – a comfortable, memorable and heartwarming stay in Bologna.

My stay in this apartment was truly exceptional. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, cozy, and filled with natural light. Everything exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and elegant stay.
