AL PARCO – How to be at the top in Bologna - Apartment Rental Listing Details

 Add to Favorites
The terrace. Really large, no better place for a great al-fresco dinner! A great view over the park, the museum and the whole neighborhood.

Description:
This beautiful, roomy, bright apartment is part of a brand new (February 2008) residential building situated in a spacious, well-served area facing a green and shady park, a small museum right on its side and plenty of little traditional stores in the vicinity.

With the city center, the railroad station and the Fiera District at walking distance, a newly-built shopping mall with an indoor swimming pool, a gym, bars, restaurants, stores and shops of all kind just around the corner, Al Parco qualifies as one of the most convenient rentals in Bologna. From here you can easily reach any spot in town: the bus stop is right by about 40 mts. and private parking is provided in the yard, which is completely fenced and 100% safe for the kids.

The apartment is a first floor (elevator) and overlooks the park with a very large (30 sq.mts.) terrace which makes a great spot for your al-fresco dining (garden furniture is provided). Very spacious (about 110 sq.mts.), safe (safety door, gates) and comfortable with high-quality fittings, Al Parco can accommodate up to 7-8 guests with two full bedrooms (one with two single beds, the other with three – all can be put together to form doubles), a sitting room with a double sofabed (a put-up bed can be added, if needed), two large bathrooms (one with a tub and a shower, the other with a shower), a large kitchen and a hallway. All rooms give on the terrace and feature the beautiful view of the park. The kitchen is fully equipped with all possible cooking utensils. Linen, silverware, dishes etc. are provided.

Al Parco has been furnished at the top of love and zest with mostly antique, craft furniture and furnishing. Particular attention has been paid to the details, among which the many paintings, etchings and various pictures stand up for their beauty and taste. Major appliances include a cooking range/oven, a microwave oven, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, an iron, a washing-machine, a hair dryer, a TV-DVD set and more. ADSL internet connection is available and included in the price. The apartment is air-conditioned.

With its very reasonable rates, we believe you can hardly find a better rental than Al Parco for your stay in Bologna. Inquire now! We look forward to having you over.

TESTIMONIALS ==

"We doubted for a long time whether it was a good idea to make a trip to Bologna with our 2 small children of 1 and 2 years old. But it was a big success, thanks to this wonderful place and the warm welcome we received! The apartment is very spacious, extremely well equipped, nicely furnished and very conveniently located. We found everything we needed, and even much more than that. The terrace and its view on the trees are terrific: the kids enjoyed running around and we ate dinner outside every night. A big thank you to Paola in particular for making 2 lovely beds for the children and providing us with 2 high chairs in the kitchen! That was fantastic. We also found fresh fruit and quite a few other nice surprises, which made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The location is also very convenient: buses to the centre are frequent, but we did not even need them that often since it is definitely possible to walk into town. The mall across the street is great and the playground was perfect. We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend "Al Parco" to other people. We hope to be back one day ourselves." (Kristien M., Belgium)

"Because of a fair I attended in February my husband and I had the pleasure of being the very first guests of this brand new rental. The area is so convenient and nice, typical Bolognese with everything at hand -- I could reach the center in minutes, the fairground is really at walking distance and so is the station. Everything in the house was as described, but pictures don't do the place justice, it is much nicer than you see on the internet. Great terrace, great decoration, I was really impressed. Paola was a great host too. Two thumbs up for Al Parco." (Penny McGuire, Philadelphia, Pa, USA)

"It is a wonderful apartment that exceeded our expectations: very light, roomy, comfortable, very well-furnished with great attention for detail. The photos don’t do it justice! We greatly enjoyed sitting out on the spacious balcony, looking over the park. Also the location is very convenient: the bus stop is just outside (and in a couple of minutes you are in the old centre) but when we fancied, we walked to Piazza Maggiore. It is perfect for touring: we were able to easily get out of town on a couple of daytrips to Ferrara and Ravenna. “Centro Minganti” (the mall- two minutes’ walk) is also a great plus: for shopping, takeaway food, cafés, etc. We took advantage of the swimming-pool: it was great after a day’s sightseeing! Paola, our hostess, made us feel at home : she spent time telling us about the area and showing where things were. She even provided food to get us started and a very welcome bowl of fresh fruit! We greatly appreciated her attention to our comfort: very nice bedding, linen, towels (and a lot of them) and all the necessary things in the beautiful bathrooms. We could hardly have been more pleased: a very positive experience." (Lisa P. - UK)

"We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this super apartment, the best we ever stayed in. It’s elegant, very comfortable, full of light, super-equipped and with a tremendous balcony. The owners are lovely people who made us feel at home and thought about everything. The position is really convenient: much better than right in the old centre (it is just outside it but very near) because you miss out on the traffic and it’s so light and green, with space around you. The bus stop is just outside (buses are really very frequent) and the old centre is just 5 minutes. Everything you want is within hand’s reach, without having to look around for it - the little shops around and especially the mall just the other side of the road. Bologna is a really nice old city with lots to see and enjoy. We’ll definitely recommend this wonderful apartment and Bologna to our friends in the States and hope to come back ourselves soon!" (Anna P., USA)

"Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno molto piacevole in questo delizioso appartamento, in cui ci siamo sentiti veramente a nostro agio. E' curato nei minimi dettagli e attrezzato con tutto quello che potevamo desiderare- e anche di più! I proprietari sono persone molto gentili e premurose che hanno mostrato grande attenzione al nostro benessere. Quando torneremo a Bologna, soggiorneremo sicuramente in questo appartamento, se sarà disponibile." (Adriana M., Italy)
