TESTIMONIALS ==

L'appartamento è piu' bello ancora che nelle foto. Curato nei dettagli, elegante, contesto signorile e centralissimo. Il parcheggio pubblico è a non più di tre minuti. Vivamente consigliato. [ Giuliana G., Italy ]

Having rented other guest apartments in France (Paris) and Italy (Rome) I can say that Casa Arienti is a find. My stay lasted 12 days. The owner is courteous and professional. The decor of the apartment is simple and tasteful, with high ceilings, new hardwood floors and large windows. The kitchen is narrow but functional and modern. The living-dining area is spacious, with a glass door giving onto a small balcony where two people can share an aperitivo or a meal at a cafe-style table. This balcony overlooks a private garden and patio (one hears the chatter of the neighbours, sometimes their t.v. or music) and there are views of nearby buildings (both old and modern). The bathroom has a small shower stall, a bidet, and a large sink. The bedroom is big, with lots of cupboard/dresser space and tall, shuttered French doors on two sides. The building itself is well-kept, with decent laundry facilities available in the basement. Via Arienti is a quiet residential street within the city walls, and away from the hubub of the student/business/tourist sections of Bologna. Cafes and shops (for fresh produce, wine, oil, cheese, bread, prosciutto, gelato...) are nearby. It takes 5 minutes to walk to a large and lovely park, 15 minutes to walk to the Museo Morandi, 25 minutes to walk to the train station. If I were to return to Bologna, I would definitely stay here again. [Jack V., Canada]
