Welcome to Terrazza San Vitale, definitely one of the most comfortable rentals in Bologna, the Italian capital of fun and gourmet cuisine. The best words to describe this great piece of property are: roomy, brand new, bright, central, perfectly furnished and beautifully decorated, cozy, convenient, clean, relaxing. Actually we could add more adjectives, but we prefer you to discover all the pluses Silvio added to his apartment with the aid of AnnaRita, who took care of the decoration at the top of her zest and excellent taste.
Located in the very center of town with public transportation right across the street and the best of the Bolognese stores, theatres, museums, night clubs, etc. at walking distance, Terrazza San Vitale got its name from a very large terrace (about 98 square meters) furnished and equipped for dining “al fresco” – a barbecue and a gazebo are provided – that will be entirely yours during your stay granting quiet and total relax.
The inside is even better: two large bedrooms plus a third one which is divided from the livingroom by a shelving wall comfortably sleeping up to ten people, two bathrooms, one kitchen, one dining room, one sitting room, hallway and plenty of storage room all around. Bedding is as follows: one double + a bunk bed in room 1, one double that can be splitted into two singles in room 2, 1 double sofabed in room 3 and a double sofabed in the livingroom.
Although part of a new building, the apartment was thoroughly refurbished in May 2004 and all the furniture, furnishing and appliances are brand new. Other important features as a washing machine, a dishwasher, a telephone (free local calls), broadband internet access, a TV/VCR and air conditioning system are provided at no extra charge. A private garage is available and directly accessible from the apartment through an elevator.
So, either if you are planning to come to Bologna for business or vacation Terrazza San Vitale absolutely qualifies as the place to be. The fairground is at a stone’s throw from the apartment (buses will get you there in no time) and all the major central-northern Italian art cities such as Florence, Venice, Mantua, Ferrara, Padua, the Adriatic shore etc. can be reached in minutes by train. That will allow you to forget about renting a car or booking a new hotel room every day – just close the door behind you and enjoy your vacation.
TESTIMONIALS ==
"Casa situata a pochi passi dal centro di Bologna, situata in una zona silenziosa, pulita spaziosa e molto ben tenuta. Ringrazio il proprietario perchè è stato veramente disponibile. Nei 5 giorni che ho trascorso in questa casa io e i miei amici ci siamo trovati davvero molto bene. La consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che vogliano trascorrere una vacanza nella città di Bologna." (Riccardo M., Italia)
"The apartment was wonderful. We were greeted by the owner who spent time telling us about the area. He showed us where the bus stop was and gave us bus numbers that we would need. He showed us the grocery store which is just a few blocks away. The apartment was very clean and spacious. There were plenty of towels. The kitchen is compact but had everything that you would need such as sharp knives, pans and dishes. We were very surprised that the owner had provided food and drink to get us started. The bathrooms were also stocked with everything you could need from soap and shampoo to a mending kit. We had rented a car and appreciated the garage as street parking would have been impossible. Bologna is a beautiful city and we were able to hop on a bus or take a short walk and quickly be in the historic center. The location of the apartment was wonderful for touring. We were able to quickly get on the highway day trip to Parma, Ravenna, Florence and Venice. The owner, apartment and location all made us feel welcome and added to our holiday enjoyment." (Patti M., USA)
"Piso situado al centro de la ciudad, con fácil acceso. Situada en un entorno muy tranquilo y sin ruidos. No tiene vistas pero cuenta con una terraza muy grande. Muy limpio y acogedor. Pero lo que más se agradece es la amabilidad y hospitalidad ofrecidas por su dueño el Sr. Silvio. Ofrece una serie de detalles para que la estancia en su vivienda resulte acogedora, tranquila y feliz y lo consigue realmente. Muchas Gracias por todos sus servicios Sr. Silvio. Hemos estado varias veces en Italia, en alquiler de apartamento, y realmente en esta ocasión ha conseguido impresionarnos favorablemente." (Dolores C., Spain)
"Un accueil chaleureux, un appartement pratique pour un groupe de personnes(6), très bien équipé, assez proche du centre historique." (Lilou V., France)
"El departamento es muy amplio, cómodo y el propietario lo ha equipado con todo lo que uno puede necesitar en la estancia. Ha sindo un placer conocer Bologna y al señor Silvio." (Valeria D., Argentina)
"My husband and I and two friends spent a week in the Terrazza San Vitale and were very pleased with the apartment and particularly our "host" Silvio. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a great location for the city centre, the train station with many stores and restaurants nearby. We have rented many places but have never had a host who provided so many supplies and was so generous with his time. We would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a pleasant stay in Bologna" (Maureen S., Canada)
"We very much enjoyed our stay in this spacious and well-equipped apartment. Silvio was the most generous host we have ever encountered, opening his well-stocked cupboards for our use during our visit. We chose to walk into Bologna, enjoying exploring the arcaded streets within the city gates. We varied our routes, always finding something of interest to wonder at. One warm evening, we attended an excellent concert in a beautiful local church. We found ample opportunities to sample the wines, pasta, hams and cheeses of Emilia Romagna, not to mention the ice cream. It was very easy to travel further afield by bus and train. The mosaics in Ravenna were as breathtaking as we had been led to believe, and Modena was a gem. Thank you Silvio, for a memorable week in your lovely city." (Sheila M., USA)
"There are many reasons to visit Bologna. An opportunity to stay at the Terrazza San Vitale is one of them. I was ready to move in as soon as I saw it. Then Silvio showed us what was in the cupboards. He had already shopped the basics for us. It was like staying at the home of a dear friend who had been suddenly called away on a vital matter, but who had carefully thought out all your needs before leaving. The place is clean. It is spacious. We made wonderful meals in the kitchen (the local supermarket has better pasta than found in US speciality stores; you can walk to a speciality market in about 20 minutes). You are just far enough outside the centre to be free of the noise and pedestrian traffic. You are close enough to the centre to say, "let's get a glass of wine at that enoteca on the far side of the Piazza Maggiore." And then there's a great place for gelato on the way back on the via San Vitale. But about the apartment. I only wish Bologna wasn't as fascinating, since I never had a chance to sit in the living room and read a good book. Perhaps on some future trip, because I know my preferred destination in Bologna." (John D., USA)
"Silvio was a very generous and thoughful man who gave us full use of his beautiful appartment. The descriptions detailed was extremely accurate and we also agree fully with the comments from the other renters of this property. We are a family with 4 children ages 21 to 9 years and we all had a wonderful time.We had our breakfast outside every morning on his beautiful spacious terrace. The rental was ideal for travelling arround that part of italy we travelled to Lake Garda, Venice, San Marino, Parma, Rimini, the Ferrari factory in Modena the shopping in Bologna was a treat. We walked into the centre most days but there was a bus stop at the end of the street if you find walking a problem. The ice cream shop beside the appartment was just devine there are also two good pizza carry outs nearby. As the apartment was just on the very outskirts of the old town it was very easy to find on returning from excursions by car. Parking was also provided. Silvio made sure we knew how to get arround the city before he left us, and was easily contacted by phone or email if we needed him. If we go back to Bologna we would stay there again. Our eldest son took his laptop with him and Silvio made sure he was connected before he left us. we had plenty of bed linen and towels and everything we needed to get started a great host. From our first email to our stay it was so easy to arrange.we would be very happy to use this site again if it worked out like this years accomadation. Thanks again Silvio for making our holiday so simple." (Ciaran & Maria G., Ireland)
"Apartamento ideal para hacer un viaje en grupo. Muy bien situado (a 2 minutos a pie del centro), limpio y bien equipado, con una immensa terraza que te permite disfrutar de las noches de verano. Sumándole la amabilidad del propietario, la combinación es immejorable para pasar unos días en esta especial ciudad italiana." (Jessica P., Spain)
"Hemos pasado 10 días en Bolonia y nos hemos alojado en esta maravillosa casa. Es espaciosa, cómoda, cerca del centro. Lo tiene todo para sentirse como en casa. Su propietario es el mejor anfitrión que hemos tenido nunca. Nos recogió en el aeropuerto, nos dejó la nevera y la despensa llena, nos dió consejos sobre qué hacer en Bolonia,... Por todo le damos las gracias al propietario. Volveremos." (Mariola M., Spain)
"Silvio the host was amazingly generous, the apartment was very big and clean with everything all ready supplied. The apartment was easy walking distance into the central part of town, which is a fantastic city. There is a supermarket in walking distance from the apartment and a friendly travel agent (who speaks english) to help with any travel bookings. We had a great time in Bologna and the apartment was perfect, safe and the owner super-cool." (Amanda E., USA)
"We spent 2 weeks in Terrazza San Vitale and were very pleased with the apartment and in particular with our hosts Silvio and his lovely wife Angela. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a great location for the city centre. There was a bus stop just a block away and it wasn't very far to the train station with many stores and restaurants nearby. We were pleasantly surprised by our hosts who had provided so many supplies and were so generous with their time. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a pleasant stay in Bologna. Our son was studying at Ferrara University, so we were able to easily travel there to see him as well as take day trips to Venice, Ravena and Modena. Bologna was a great city to stay in and visit and having Terrazza San Vitale to stay in made our vacation in Italy wonderful. We again thank Silvio and Angela for their kindness and generosity. They thought of everything in their apartment to make our stay in Bologna very comfortable and enjoyable." (Brian B., USA)
"Desidererei valutare oltre il massimo possibile. L'appartamento è ideale per visitare la città. Quello che più ci ha colpiti è il senso dell'ospitalità, l'accoglienza e la disponibilià totale dei proprietari nei confronti di noi ospiti. penso che questo, sopra tutto, sia il miglior biglietto da visita per chi si accinge a conoscere nuovi luoghi e soprattutto nuove persone che vivono quei luoghi, è vivere l'esperienza del viaggio come esperienza totale. Di nuovo grazie" (Gianni N., Italy)
"The welcome was fantastic, our host was a true gentleman. In Ireland we say 100 thousand welcomes, well in Bologna we were treated a 1000 thousand welcomes. Everything we needed for our stay was provided, tea, milk, water....etc. even hairdryers The location was just perfect." (Elaine T, Ireland)
"Silvio's Terrazza San Vitale was the best apartment our group (4 adults) stayed at during our 3 weeks in Italy. The apartment was roomy, the terrace was sunny, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to make the most of our purchases at Bologna's wonderful food markets. (There was even a salad spinner for our fresh basil and arugula!) The location was great. It was easy to walk to the center of town or the bus station or to hop on the bus to visit San Luca. Silvio met us at the apartment and made sure to answer all of our questions and provide several recommendations for our stay in Bologna. He made us feel very welcome. We can't wait to visit again! (The Vander Venters, Madison, WI - USA)
"Lovely apartment. Silvio was so kind and generous and left lots of things for us. The place is equipped as you would expect to find your home. He even picked us up from the airport! The flat is an easy walk to the centre but in an area which is quieter than the centre. I would wholeheartedly recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Bologna. Thank you Silvio!" (Clive P., UK)
"A home away from home: you feel as if you’re a valued guest and your hosts have just stepped out for a while. Great apartment, equipped with everything you can think of, and then some! Excellent value; very happy to recommend." (Eva L., Australia)
"Nous avons été très agréablement surpris par la qualité de l'accueil du propriétaire : nombreuses délicates attentions à notre arrivée, conseils avertis pour améliorer la qualité de notre séjour, sympathie, convivialité à tous niveaux. L'appartement a de plus répondu à toutes nos attentes : bien situé, très bien équipé, confortable...La terrasse nous a également été très agréable. Un sans faute, nous vous le recommandons vivement !!!" (Valerie H., France)
"We recently returned from an incredible 3-week vacation in Italy where we rented 3 different apartments - in Venice, Lake Garda, & Bologna, and, by chance, we saved the best for last - the most wonderful experience of all was discovering Bologna and the region from Terrazza San Vitale. It was thanks to Silvio, who shared not only his spacious apartment with its lovely terrace, but also his warmth, his knowledge, his books & maps, his insider’s tips, that we felt like we were coming home from the first minute we arrived. We took day trips all around the Emilia-Romagna region; we explored Bologna from one end to another; we took a pasta-making class in Bologna; and at the end of every day, we looked forward to returning to “our” apartment to drink wine on the terrace while celebrating our good fortune in having the opportunity to experience Italy in what we deemed to be the best way possible. Grazie, Silvio – mille grazie." (Wimberly & Van, Atlanta, Ga., USA)
"What a splendid home away from home! Silvio had the kitchen stocked not only with cooking utensils and such, but with food for you to use; what an unexpected treat! It is centrally located so we took day trips to Venice, Florence, Sienna, Modena, and even to the beach at Rimini. The train station is just a short bus ride away and is very easy to use. {The bus pick-up is only a block and a half away.} And Silvio not only picked us up at the train station [9 of us] but showed us where the bus stop and numbers to take, plus where the grocery store was located. It was a great stay for us and our family members. We recommend it highly!" (Faith & Bill S., USA)
"Spent 11 days in Bologna with 2 friends and daughter. We all loved Bologna and due to its railway station, it is very easy to reach surrounding towns - Ravenna, Modena, Parma, Ferrara and even Mantova. The flat is exactly as described on the website - spotlessly clean, very near the town centre and a short bus ride to the station. The bus-stop is also very near the flat as well as supermarket, small shops, cafés, restaurants and also - very important - it is situated in a very calm area. Silvio, the owner, is amazing - so kind and generous. He actually went by foot with us to show us the bus-stop and the road leading into town. Gave us all the information we needed about public transport and restaurants etc... On top of that, the cupboards and fridge were stocked with drinks and food. He picked us up at the airport and took us back. A very big thank you to Silvio. We certainly recommend this flat to all future holidaymakers in the Bologna area." (Tessa A., France)
"Silvio, Thank you again for your hospitality. My family and I very much enjoyed the appartment and our time in Bologna. We will highly recommend your place. Thank you also for the ride from the airport. It was a pleasure visiting with you. Grazie mille." (Mark M., USA)
