Great stay with family in Bologna

My family of 4 had a great stay at the Cavalleria Rusticana. The apartment was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The hosts provided a very thorough welcome document with answers to many questions and recommendations in the area. When we had a question, the hosts responded quickly. The location was quiet and a short 10-15 minute walk to Piazza Maggiore where there was lots of great dining, shopping and tourist sights to see. Highly recommend staying at this property.

Great for 5

This apartment was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. It was particularly handy for the kids to have their own room with three beds upstairs. The keyless entry was convenient and the secure parking was great. Everything in town was about a 12-15 minute stroll away; this worked for us, but might not be ideal for someone with mobility issues. The apartment was close to piazza Santa Stefano, which had a great atmosphere with cafes and delicious gelato.

Amazing and Convenient

This was an ideal location to stay in Bologna, close to city center, wide range of restaurants, bars, and markets but also convenient to groceries and shops for other amenities. Check in and check out was easy and all inquiries received prompt responses. Apartment was clean and comfortable and also had laundry. Would definitely recommend!

You needn’t look any further

We came for a few days before our cruise. The location was perfect as it was a short walk to the center of town. The people at the desk were so nice, helpful and very easy on the eyes. The apartment is perfect. It’s exactly as pictured. The kitchen and bathrooms are as clean as any hotel. The ac is better than expected with separate units in every room. The beds were very comfortable. The only negative thing I have to say is that the shower in the downstairs bedroom is assuredly tight. But the water pressure is just fine and I would not hesitate to come back or send my friends.

Perfect in every way!

We rented two properties from Francesca in Residence Opera, because our group was large. Both were absolutely perfect! This particular one has 2 beds and bath, and one of the bedrooms had 3 single beds, so it was perfect for our needs. The furniture and amenities, as well as the apartment itself are beautiful and modern. We had everything we needed. We came over Christmas, and there even was a traditional Panetonne waiting for us! We loved the location; close enough to walk to everything, yet very quiet. And we also appreciated the laundry room that was open 24/7. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! Thank you!

Modern Apartment in Historic Building ~ A-plus!

We loved every facet of our 7-week stay at Opera Residence - the apartment, free laundry in the building, elevator (or stairs to keep in shape), coded entry so no need to carry a key, weekly housekeeping, outdoor space, and the neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen area adequate to prepare meals with convection stovetop and microwave. Food is readily available around the corner ranging from a variety of small restaurants to fruit and vegetable stands, cheese stand, fish stand, pasta store with "to-go" delicious food, bakeries, Farmacia, plus more small vendors. The location is away from the tourist fray, yet a 10-minute walk to Piazza Maggorie. Within a mile are parks, museums, historic churches and sights, other piazzas, fabulous high-end shopping mall, and delicious gelatos stores! And, it is on a bus line. I highly recommend this property, and would definitely stay again.

Excellent, excellent, excellent

I recently returned from a one-month stay at this property in Bologna and cannot say enough good things about it. First of all, the location is perfect. It is on a relatively main street, but is at the less commercial end and is within walking distance of all the major sites and areas. Within steps of the front door are a few bars (for coffee, lunch, snacks), a grocery store, pharmacy, ATM and any other things you might need. Around the corner are 4 wonderful, small, local restaurants. There is a nice neighborly feel to the area. With respect to our accommodations, they were wonderful, as well. The apartment we rented was modern, clean, fully equipped and sunny. The air conditioning was turned on while we were there and worked optimally during some hot days. The office was opened daily and the women (especially Letizia) were always eager to help us with both our mundane questions and also to set up tours for us and provide us with any information that we needed. They were always patient and pleasant. Although the office closed at 1:30 each day, Letizia was always available by email to respond to any of our needs or inquiries no matter what time of day or evening. Oh, and as a real plus - there was a free washer, dryer in the basement for use by all. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone travelling to Bologna and hope that I can return there again myself.

Beautiful Apartment, Central Location

We had a 2 week holiday in this apartment and can not fault it in anyway. It is very close to the city centre and close to 2 local food shops but is quiet, very well equipped and has very efficient air conditioning (which was very welcome with temperatures between 32 & 38 degrees!!). Bologna is a stunning city. We explored it's cool porticoed streets (including the longest portico in the world leading up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca), we explored Florence & Venice by train & hired a car for a couple of days to explore the coast & Lake Garda. And the food!!! There are lots of great restaurants serving the local specialties within walking distance. In the main we're quite self sufficient but whenever we needed help or advice Letizia, in the office, right next door, was brilliant. Thank you Francesca & Letizia for a fantastic holiday.

A Perfect Place in a Perfect Location

This apartment is great!! Not only is the location within minutes of the Two Towers and the center of Bologna, the apartment is perfect. The owner's attention to every detail could not be better. The unit is beautifully appointed and there is even a lift in the building if the stairs prove too much. And Letizia in the management office was incredibly helpful, looking after our every request. This truly is a gorgeous 3 room apartment in beautiful Bologna. I highly recommend it.
