We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The location was perfect, a short walk to the main sights. It’s clean and spacious, great closet space for unpacking so you don’t have to live out of your suitcase. And Federico was there to greet us, give us restaurant recommendations, and then arrange a taxi to pick us up the day we left. He was also available whenever we had a question. Top notch customer service. We highly recommend and would stay there again.

Bologna stay
Location good, apt clean and easy to find. Check in was easy. Only problem was we were not left bedding for the sofa bed, more of a misunderstanding about not being a couple and needing separate places to sleep.
Excellent property and location. Much attention to detail in the apartment and the workmanship of the construction is evident. Recommended.

A Lovely Stay in Bologna
The apartment was in a great location. It was clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Federico could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We were very late arriving due to train cancellations and not only was it not a problem, Federico kindly assisted us with other train recommendations. He met us five hours late with the keys and a smile.

Wonderful, immaculate apartment near the sights in Bologna!
We had a great stay although it was short in Bologna. We wished we stayed a bit longer. We were welcomed and given recommendations to eat, places to go, and even ordered a taxi to train station the day we had to leave. Frederico made us feel very comfortable and the apartment was the best one for our entire stay in Italy. Modern, clean and spacious for my husband and I. Anyone staying in Bologna should stay here, walking distance to all the sights. We definitely would stay here again when we return to Bologna.

Highly recommend this VRBO
My wife and I really enjoyed our 1 week stay at "La Torre Lunga" apartment. The location near the Two Towers of Bologna is excellent - very close to grocery stores, bakeries, many restaurants and the Piazza Maggiore. Communication with our host Federico was outstanding - he met us at the apartment and provided a detailed orientation to the VRBO. He always promptly replied to our questions during our stay. He booked a taxi for us to the airport on our departure. We enjoyed the apartment - it was very clean, quiet and modern. It had excellent air conditioning, a comfortable queen-sized bed, a large walk-in closet, a good sized bathroom with a walk-in shower (lots of hot water and excellent water pressure), and an elevator that was very helpful for our luggage on arrival and at departure. There was a great LG washing machine - the best one we have used during our many prior VRBO stays in Europe. Although we only ate breakfasts at the apartment, there was a 4-burner stove, a microwave, and a good, smaller-sized refrigerator. We definitely recommend this VRBO for a pleasant stay in Bologna.

Delightful Apartment in a Great Location
This one bedroom apartment is modern, clean, well appointed, quiet, and comfortable. It is in the middle of everything you want to do in the center of Bologna. Within easy walking distance to countless shops, restaurants, bars, tourist sites, and bus lines. Very safe area.
Maria and Federico are delightful hosts. They are very friendly and provide extensive information and very responsive communicators.
The building has an elevator for those who have trouble managing stairs. Everything has been recently renovated and is in imperfect working order. Great AC. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water.

Perfect neighborhood with great host
My husband and I stayed 5 days at this apartment. It’s located on a quiet street just steps away from the busy tourist center of Bologna. It couldn’t be more convenient. The apartment is modern, spotless, comfortable and well equipped, including a washing machine which came in very handy after a week of traveling. The owners were extraordinarily helpful, even helping us secure a cab on our last day , which was a Sunday, when the center of town is closed to traffic. I think its a perfect place to stay as a tourist in Bologna.

Just stay here--it's perfect
The apartment is newly renovated with great quality and understated design. It's a blend of modern design with personal, classic touches. Trust us, the pictures don't give an idea how pretty the place is. There is a lot of storage for belongings.
The location is excellent-- just 10 minutes' walk from Piazza Maggiore. There are many pasticceria in the area to get your breakfast and bring back to enjoy with the coffee provided.
However the kind support from Federico made this a truly quality stay! He made a restaurant reservation, dealt with a difficult taxi situation and spent time with us at the beginning showing where everything was in the apartment and explaining the city. We have never had such a competent host who went above and beyond. He has created an extensive binder of resources and high quality guidebooks are available.

Highly recommended 5 stars
Federico and his mother have created a home away from home in the very center of Bologna. Their attention to every detail was so appreciated, and they take COVID cleaning protocols seriously.
The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots/pans etc.
The bed and bath linens were all first class. The apartment is so clean I thought it had never been rented, but was assured it is almost always fully booked. I can see why.
But what really stood out was Federico's willingness to help. He responded quickly to all inquiries prior to our stay. Not only did he meet us at the apartment to welcome, he booked a COVID test for me and accompanied me to the pharmacy. He booked a taxi for my middle of the night trip to the airport and then followed up to make sure all was right. Owning my own business, I know and can appreciate quality customer service and Federico delivered on all counts.
When I come back to Bologna, I know where I will be staying.
