Casa Isolani Charms Rooms Santo Stefano

Casa Isolani in Bologna boasts a prime location near historic sites and amenities. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, beautiful views, and attentive staff. The immaculate rooms and facilities enhance the overall experience.

Unique with amazing views It is a unique but cool place to stay. Our room, top of tower had amazing 360 degree views of Bologna There are many stairs to climb so consider this when choosing. If stairs are not an issue then we highly recommend. Great location.

Casa Isolani is a bed and breakfast establishment right in the centre of Bologna. Getting there: From the airport take a taxi to Piazza Maggiore for around 20 Euros, couldn’t be simpler. About: This is a set of serviced apartments. They are located behind a large wooden door just off the Piazza Maggiore. You are given your own keys. Worth a view on Google Maps before you arrive so you know where you are heading. Checking in: There is no reception and rarely anyone on site so you have to contact the manager about 30 mins before you arrive to arrange to meet them at the apartment. This is the part of the process that needs improvement. You can not get into your room until 2pm, but you can drop off your bags by prior arrangement. So if you have an early flight in you will be walking around Bologna until 2. Also we ended up waiting outside for 30 minutes waiting for someone to let us in after a few ‘we are here’ phone calls went unanswered. Worth bearing in mind. Location: you are right in the heart of Bologna, walking distance to most attractions, tourist office, tourist drop off points and transport links. Loads of restaurants, bars and shops right on your doorstep. The location is ideal for your Bologna stay. The apartment: We stayed at the Neptune apartment. It had a safe, fridge, air con, a comfy bed, TV (Italian TV only), shower, lots of soaps etc and was very clean and serviced daily. If you have the window open at night because you are so central you will get street noise, but closing the window shuts it out completely. Breakfast: You are given tokens to use at a cafe on the Piazza. You get a coffee, pastry and juice. Leaving: There is a taxi rank on the Piazza. If you are leaving early you may like to pre book as at 6am there were no taxies there. A shout out here to Luca who runs the newsagent stand near the taxi rank. He helped us book a taxi that morning. Again a downside of no reception. Overall: A perfectly located, clean place from which to explore. The only irritant is the arrival process. But once in you will have a great stay.
