About this apartment rental

L'ARENA - A most prestigious rental in the heart of the Historical Center

One of the most beautiful rentals in Bologna, a very comfortable, roomy and highly prestigious one, L’Arena apartment is named after the famous Arena Del Sole theatre which sits right across the street. Away from central yet seedy, messy areas such as the train and bus station and the University department, lively and very colorful, animated, this is the best section of the vibrant Historical Center. The classiest stores, restaurants, cafes, the best shopping and the most amusing strolling are all here, under the old arches of Via Indipendenza, the very heart of the Italian capital of youth, nightlife and gourmet cuisine – Bologna.

Hence, the easiness of getting around without any need for a car. The airport shuttle bus is at a stone’s throw, about 10 different bus lines to all the interest points in town and beyond are available at the door, the railroad station is at walking distance and so is Piazza Maggiore, the center of gravity of this stunning Medieval and Renaissance urban beauty.

L’Arena is part of one of the most elegant buildings bordering Via Indipendenza. A third floor (elevator) with a view over the avenue, extremely clean and well kept, it comfortably accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 large living-diningroom, a kitchen with all the tools provided, a hallway and a small terrace. Bedding is as follows:

- Room #1: one queen-size bed and one single;
- Room #2: two singles that can be put together to form a queen-size plus one single sofabed;
- Room #3: two single sofabeds;
- Room #4: one single bed

Furnished with choice antique furniture and craft (1800’s and 1900’s), decorated with love and zest with all the major appliances provided and in perfect working order, air conditioned and with high-speed wifi internet connection, L’Arena stands out for its class, traditional Bolognese style and comfort. It would be hard for you to find a more central and comfortable accommodation, a better spot to fully enjoy the life and the fun of this amazing city.

Other pluses: a large parking lot (garage – guarded) only about 40 mts., plenty of all kind of restaurants, pubs and pizzerias in the immediate vicinity (the most renowned restaurant in town is right across the street), Friday and Saturday open-air market in the nearby piazza, (huge, lot of fun!), theatres and movie theatres, monuments, museums, etc. right there for you to enjoy.

Comfort, convenience, class, fun and great relax: these are the key words for L’Arena, a superb place, your nr. 1 home away from home.

Beautiful apartment! Convenient location! Easy walk from the train station to the apartment. Carla, our host could not have been more welcoming! We were meet at the apartment and given a full tour and information. When the weather turned colder, she followed up to be sure the room temps were comfortable for us. The antique furnishing adds an elegant Italian feel. The secure access to the building and the security doors made us feel very safe. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen has everything you need. Great coffee shop right downstairs and many restaurants close by. A friend had recommended this apartment to us, and we are so glad she did! I would definitely recommend.

The location is great, convenient to open markets, shopping, restaurants and train station. The apartment is very clean and spacious. Unfortunately, it is a 3rd story and the apartments on 4th and 5th are very noisy as they are rented to students. Linens and towels are mix matched and you need to launder them yourself in the washing machine and line dry as provided. Unexpected costs upon arrival that you should know about. There is a tourism tax payable in cash per person, per day. We stayed for 30 days and had 2 friends stay for 5 nights and we had to pay 480.00 extra for the extra people and tourism tax of 130.00 euros which isn't explained on VRBO. They have books in English and Italian to enjoy, There is only 1 TV and it is not a smart TV. Internet is good. Enjoyed our stay just things you need to know before you go. Pictures are accurate.

Spacious, clean, excellent location 10 minute walk to both Bologna Centrale train station (for easy day trip g around the region) and Piazza Maggiore and all the cool attractions! Many, many great local restaurants close by also! Host Carla was very helpful and communicative and arranged a mid-stay cleaning and also a very early taxi pick-up for us on departure day! Would definitely stay there again!

The location is excellent for wandering the streets of Bologna and taking in the sights. So many options for excellent food, shopping and day trips. Gret place for a larger group we were 7 adults and it was perfect, not sure how you'd get people until you had young children needing a cot/crib. The washer machine was a great addition. Kitchen is small but has everything you need . 2 bathrooms also a plus. You won't be disappointed.

The apartment was as shown in the photos. So much character, but with comfortable beds, and very well equipped. Its location on the main street of Bologna makes it so easy to walk everywhere. Carla met us with keys, and was very informative. Would definitely recommend.
