Types of holiday rentals in Bologna

Hundreds of rentals in the old town of Bologna

On Holidu you will find hundreds of private rentals for rent in Bologna for all tastes and budgets. From those more flirtatious for a cheaper price to others located in centenary stately buildings. Most of them are located in the historical centre of the city, close to such beautiful monuments as the Palazzo Albergati, the Basilica di San Dominico or the University of Bologna. Which will allow you to go everywhere for a nice walk. However, you will also find many rentals at the best price in the neighbourhoods close to the historic centre. Perfect for those who want to stay in a quieter residential area. With the advantage that they enjoy excellent communications with the centre by public transport. The Bolonina is one of the most recommended areas.

Luxury villas and picturesque country houses

If you travel with family or friends and need a more spacious holiday rental, you will also find many houses. Both in the historic centre and on the outskirts. The former have a more elegant and stately style, with colourful facades of typical Italian architecture, with arches in the main door and wooden shutters. We also have cottages in Bologna very cosy that keep the purest essence of the country houses of northern Italy. Very spacious and with magnificent gardens where you can relax and enjoy the good weather. But you'll also find some that mix a little of both. Authentic village-style houses in suburban neighbourhoods with all kinds of services, just a few minutes drive from the centre.

Why book a letting in Bologna?

Many of the tourists who decide to rent a letting in Bologna come to Bologna anxious to immerse themselves in the traditional Italian way of life and to learn about its rich monumental heritage. In this sense, Bologna still retains a special charm. The Basilica of San Petronio, the Fountain of Neptune or the Towers of Bologna are just a few good examples of the traditional architecture of the city, which has a historic centre of enormous dimensions. Bologna is also set in an incomparable natural setting thanks to its proximity to the Apennines and its specific location between the Reno and Savena rivers. For this reason, many tourists also come to it in search of contact with nature. Finally, it only remains to say that the rentals in Bologna suppose a fantastic starting point to know the rest of the cities of the region. In this sense, this city limits with others as interesting as, for example, Modena, Ferrara, Forli and, above all, Florence. Undoubtedly, the best way to reach all of them is through Italy's regional train service.

The area and how to find your way around

Bologna: one of Europe's best-preserved historic cities

Located in northern Italy, Bologna is a beautiful city of approximately 388,000 inhabitants, belonging to the Emilia-Romagna region, holding the capital of the metropolitan city of the same name. Its territory extends over the Padana plain, on the foothills of the Apeninic hill, between the Savena and Reno valleys. An ideal location to get to know other important cities in the area, as it is only 90 km from Florence and one hour by train from Parma. The city is currently the most important communications hub in the country by road and motorway. Even more than Milan or Rome. But it also has excellent communications by train, with several stations through which more than 70 million passengers pass every year. So, if you decide to rent a tourist letting in Bologna, you will have the opportunity to visit many more places in a very simple way. In that case, it is best to book it near the Bologna Central station, the most important in the city.

The best areas to rent a letting in Bologna

Bologna is undoubtedly one of the historic cities in Europe that has withstood the passage of time best. In addition, its old town of medieval origin is only surpassed in amplitude by that of Venice. Considered one of the main cultural capitals of the world, it currently has a wide range of very cheap rentals. According to the opinions of other travellers, the best area to book a holiday rental in Bologna is the historic city centre. The Galvani district is perfect to find one if you want to immerse yourself in the typical atmosphere of the city. It's true that prices are higher than in the suburbs, but you'll be close to everything and you'll be able to live the rhythm of the city. It is normal to find refined and spacious rentals in the centre of Bologna located inside old buildings of great beauty and architectural value. If you have a tighter budget, you will find cheap rentals in the areas of Casaralta, San Donato and Cirenaica which, moreover, being further away from the centre, are quieter and more inviting to rest. And if you are looking for something intermediate, economic and in a lively area, we recommend the University City, where depending on the season, prices are more affordable than in other areas. Bologna is a big city, but not too big. Therefore, you will have no problem getting to know it completely if you decide to book a letting for a weekend on the outskirts.

Types of travellers and activities

Bologna for lovers of nature and outdoor sports

The proximity of the city to the Apennines and its location between the rivers Reno and Savena make it an ideal destination for those who want to enjoy contact with nature and engage in active tourism activities. In this sense, some hiking trails are particularly famous, such as the one at San Pellegrino in Alpe, which runs through a large part of the province of Emilia-Romagna, where Bologna is located.

Bologna for those who enjoy cultural visits

Bologna has a rich historical and artistic heritage. If you want to make cultural visits during your stay to discover more about its history, there's nothing better than renting a letting in the centre. This way, you won't waste time on travel. Don't miss the church of San Francesco, the church of San Petronio, the medieval towers, the National Picture Gallery and Piazza Maggiore. As well as its numerous villas, palaces and museums. There is so much to see and so little time that it will cost you to make a definitive list of what you really want to visit.

Bologna for a romantic getaway

Like Paris and Budapest, organizing a romantic getaway to Bologna is also an excellent option. Its modern lofts and flirtatious rentals are an ideal option to enjoy a few days as a couple. But also, if you have a higher budget, you can rent one with sauna, jacuzzi or terrace overlooking its beautiful monuments. The nocturnal strolls through its medieval streets holding hands will make your stay unforgettable. A city full of really magical corners in which to stop to take a picture or give you a kiss. At the end of the day, there is nothing better than going out to enjoy a romantic evening in an authentic Italian restaurant accompanied by the music of a violin. All this will undoubtedly make you completely disconnect from the routine and rekindle the flame of your love. Why not book your rental in Bologna today and give a surprise to your partner?

Top 5 Recommendations in Bologna

1. Go shopping in Bologna

After several hours of cultural visits, there's nothing better than shopping. Bologna has an endless number of shops of clothing, footwear and accessories of top brands. In addition, we recommend that you take a tour of the market to fully immerse yourself in the customs and traditions of its inhabitants. The Mercato di Mezzo area is an authentic labyrinth of narrow streets with all kinds of stalls where you can buy the products that are never missing from any table in Bologna, such as pasta, sausage, wine and cheese. However, if you're looking for something more gourmet to sample, nothing better than the Mercato Delle Erbe.

2. Climb the Towers of Bologna

The Bologna Towers are probably the most singular monuments in the whole city. Fortunately, today they are open to the public and it is possible to climb them. The best, though most tiring, is to climb the stairs from the highest to the rooftop and, from there, contemplate the spectacular views of the Apennines, the Dolomites and the bordering cities it offers. However, on cloudy days visibility is greatly reduced.

3. Visit the Ducati Museum

Ducati is a prestigious motorcycle manufacturer who was born in the city of Bologna. Having won a number of world championships in various categories, the brand decided to found a museum with many of its most important models. Undoubtedly, an attraction of great interest to all those who declare themselves unconditional followers of racing motorcycles.

4. Take a walk through the University of Bologna

With the passage of time, Bologna has managed to become a centre of educational and cultural reference within Europe. Every year, countless students from other European cities come to the city to do their Erasmus scholarship. Obviously, the faculties of the University of Bologna are reserved for the use and enjoyment of students, which does not mean that there are not many areas that can be accessed. In this sense, it is worth taking a walk around the same place where illustrious figures such as Petrarch, Dante or Copernicus studied.

5. Enjoy a plate of pasta and a good wine on a terrace

Bologna is an ideal place to enjoy the traditional Italian cuisine. Its numerous restaurants are specialists in the famous Mediterranean cuisine, but especially in the tagliatelle a la bolognese or tortellini in brodo. In addition, excellent wines such as Sangiovese are produced in the region. For that reason, a very interesting alternative is, for lunch or dinner, to go to the Trattoria Del Reno or the Ristorante Garganelli, for example, and to enjoy a magnificent lunch.
