The property is located in the immediate vicinity of Piazza Maggiore and just a few steps from Via Indipendenza, the main thoroughfare leading to the old town, stretching from Piazza Maggiore all the way to the railway station.

The property features next-generation finishes: the original windows have been restored and equipped with insulating, sound-proof double glazing. It overlooks the scenic façade of St. Peter's Cathedral, though it is removed from the street and, therefore, particularly quiet. In order to preserve the style of ancient aristocratic buildings in Bologna, the floors were left with their original hexagonal terracotta tiles and the ceiling of the living room with the existing plaster decoration. The property is easily accessible, but it is necessary to climb six steps to reach the entrance to the lift. The entrance leads into a small hallway giving access to the kitchen and living room. In the living room, a magnificent Murano glass chandelier captures the attention of guests, who have at their disposal a comfortable sofa that can be converted into a French-size bed (140 x 200 cm), located right in front of a 49” flat-screen TV (cable TV with TIM Vision). An arch lamp lights the dining table seating six. The decor is completed by desk and chair, an elegant cupboard and large double-door wardrobe. The customized kitchen is equipped with every modern appliance such as a refrigerator/freezer, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and an induction hob. The sleeping area overlooks an internal courtyard and is very quiet. It is furnished with a double bed (160 x 200 cm) and sliding-door wardrobe.
