About

Bologna Dreams

Bologna Dreams is a set of apartments in a residential building near the edge of the historic center. From Piazza Di Porta Mascarella, it's about a 6-minute walk to the National Art Gallery of Bologna and roughly 10 km from Guglielmo Marconi airport. The property includes private parking in a garage, a genuine rarity in this part of town.

Inside, the apartments are modern and unusually well equipped: each has air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a kitchen with cookware and utensils, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi in rooms. Interiors use parquet flooring and come with a separate sitting area and dining table. There's a lift to the floors, and cots are available for families. The unit types are one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio — all with a shower and coffee machine, and the one-bedroom adds a balcony.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, which may not suit late arrivals.
  • No pets and no smoking — The property does not allow pets and is smoke-free, which might be restrictive for some travelers.
  • No on-site staff after hours — While the host is responsive, there's no 24-hour front desk; guests needing immediate assistance outside check-in hours may have to wait.
