About this property

L'ARENA - Most Prestigious Apartment in the Heart of the Historical Center

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.

Comfortable
The apartment is very close to the centre which is great. Down side is the street noise but ear plugs helped. The bedrooms are spacious and the apartment warm.

Absolutely outstanding
Easily one of the most amazing experiences we've had with accomodation anywhere around the world. Due to an issue at the airport we were late arriving but the owners were there to meet us and took us on a tour, explaining everything. They obviously take great pride in the service they offer and justifyably so! Huge beautiful space and a great location on one of the main streets so close to everything yet still quiet with excellent dark curtains providing for a great sleep on comfortable beds. Lots of much appreciated extras such as bread, snacks, milk, condiments, juices, cold water, etc. Plenty of towels, plenty of space, and a wonderful ambience. Beautifully decorated rooms with nice spaces to just sit and relax in. Great shower, good pillows, easy to use washing machine and a drying clothes horse provided. Cannot fault this accommodation in any way, we only wish we'd had more than three nights!

Grand apartment in the centre of Bologna
Highly recommend this very large, older style apartment in the middle of the historic centre. Air conditioning throughout was appreciated during the hot weather. Hosts were lovely and very helpful and quick to respond when we had a query

Nice apartment in great area (with noise and bed comfort issues)
Early communications were a bit tricky, but we were eventually given good access details. Very nice owners. Spacious, traditional style apartment, with very good lift access and good security. 10-12 minutes walk from the rail station. 8-10 minutes to the 2 towers. Despite double-glazing, sleeping was disrupted by external street noise until after midnight. I would definitely recommend new beds, pillows, and bedding, all of which were below standard. Huge sitting room with dining table. Nice, but I would suggest that the owners invest in some updating.
