Fantastic
To begin, the apartment is beautiful’ spacious and furnished like a museum. Paintings, anntques, sculpture and documents and awards showing the talents and achievements of the owner’s family going back a century. The location is overlooking a wonderful piazza with active cafes bars restaurants and shops. Filled with young people enjoying coffee or Aportivo at the outdoor tables. An easy walk to everywhere you would want to go. But with a taxi stand and bus stop right in the piazza if you need it. Paolo,the host and Carlotta, his assistant could not have been more friendly or helpful with information about restaurants, the history of the apartment and much more. We had a wonderful week here and recommend it highly. We look forward to staying here the next time we visit Bologna.

We spent five days at this wonderful property. It is like living in an old world palace. Marble and wood floors, antique furniture, and a huge floorplan. The bedroom is very quiet, though the office space is a bit louder, given the square and cafes where students congregate. We enjoyed the street sounds at night; bring earplugs for the office area if you want complete silence. The location is fantastic, and one of the things we always look for in a property… restaurants, bars, markets all within an easy walk. We would love to stay here again.

I've been conflicted for the last 2 weeks about this review. We stayed for the month of April 2024 and overall we enjoyed our stay. Firstly rhe positives - the position was fantastic. There were few other options in the centro storico. We were able to walk everywhere including the railway station. The apartment was bright and very spacious. The decoration was “quirky”! There was a lift for those who couldn't tackle the 63 stairs, unusual for an old building. Anything we asked for during our stay was promptly attended to, thank you. However, the check in process was rushed and not comprehensive eg no instructions for the washing machine etc., no list of contact numbers for emergencies, taxis etc as is usual in our experience. Most places also offer a welcome pack of water, wine etc. We were only offered 2 cleaning days in the month, usually it's once a week. I am always happy to do the cleaning myself but it didn't seem to be an option. The kitchen needs to be relaced, as does the furniture in the sitting area. The elephant in the room is the noise from the piazza, every night until 3 or 4 in the morning. It's impossible to sleep in the front room and the noise can also be heard in the back bedroom. It's not possible to open the window because of this. I hope this is a fair review as we've given it a lot of thought. Even though we really enjoyed our stay we probably wouldn't do so again. Cheers, Virginia and Barry (Australia)

Beautiful Apartment in a Lively Neighborhood
This beautiful, spacious, classical Italian style property was the perfect landing spot for our first week in Bologna. On the third floor, ovelooking cafes, wine bars and a vital social scene in the center of University life, we still enjoyed a good night’s sleep in the quiet back bedroom. Then down the elevator and out the front door, we could make our first stop at the cafe just across the street, then head out on foot in any direction to explore this interesting and beautiful city.

Big apartment
Beware. Parking is a big issue with this apartment in Bologna. If you have a car it is highly recommended that you figure out parking before getting there. You are not allowed to drive anywhere in the city center. You cannot even drive in to drop off your bags in front of the apartment without fear of getting a ticket. The apartment itself if very nice. Pretty antique furniture. The park outside is very busy with lots of young people hanging around until very late at night. We were only there for three days. I would not stay in Bologna city center again with a car.

Great large apartment, superb location
Stayed for one week. Excellent location. The piazza is very lively at night. Close to the university. No worries though as the bedroom is in the back🙂 and no problems sleeping. The piazza has everything you need, bakery etc and market stalls on Sunday. Can’t remember if the stalls are there on other days. There is a great restaurant on the corner and green box restaurants and food shops on the piazza. Grocery stores are a few blocks away. The apartment is very large and very homey. If you want modern and sterile this is not the place to stay. We could have stayed a month!

Beautiful old apartment, great location.
The apartment was beautiful with marble floors and lavish antique furniture and art. It felt like a palazzo. The beds and facilities were good quality. However it was hot when we stayed in Bologna and the students gathered in front of the apartment partied all night until about 4am. The windows blocked much noise but then the apartment was too hot. My adult daughter in the front room found it hard to sleep. I still recommend to stay here but to make it comfortable at night the apartment needs air conditioning. The student area is lively and we loved our week in Bologna!

Homage to Scholarship and Art in the Heart of Bologna’s University District
Symphony 12 is many things - all of them good! First of all it is a comfortable two bedroom apartment, very centrally located in Bologna’s historic University district. As such it is ideally suited for wandering the city on foot, enjoying the artistry and protection of the nearly 40 miles of porticoes in the old city. Secondly, it is a decade-spanning time capsule in terms of decor, objet d’arts, family artifacts, architecture, and even some of the kitchen appliances. Finally, it is located on one of the most unique and lively piazzas in Bologna. We began and ended each day at the very welcoming Sartoria; which is a café/bakery by day and a bar/trattoria by night. Also on the square are numerous stalls and cozy restaurants with open air seating and a wide selection of affordable food and drinks. The neighbourhood is full of University students and during our stay the traditional graduation processions, pranks, and street parties were in full swing. This would not be everybody’s cup of tea, but the main bedroom at Symphony 12 is away from the street and we only heard the noise at night as we were closing the front shutters. Another advantage of Bologna’s “foody” scene combined with our location, is that we could choose high or low in terms of spending on meals, but it was all delicious. In summary, Symphony 12 was a great experience in terms of general comfort, cleanliness, location, and opportunities to access local culture.
