Wonderful stay in excellent accommodation
Liked: The residence is in an excellent location. A short walk to all the tourist sites of the old town. Many excellent eateries close by. The best part of our stay was the wonderful and caring hospitality shown to us by Carlo who made sure we were always looked after. We can’t speak highly enough of the wonderful service we received from him. Grazie Mille Carlo!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike (a few stairs up to the residence but this is standard for Italy!)

Liked: Accommodation
Our stay at Residenza Palazzo Marchesini was truly exceptional. As a family of five (two parents with three adult children), we found the layout of the accommodation ideal for our needs. The residence comprises two separate units: one well-appointed room for two guests with a private bathroom and balcony, and a second, spacious area for three, including a double bedroom and an adjoining single room with its own bathroom. We appreciated the shared living room, where we enjoyed our breakfast each morning and had access to another balcony. The entire residence was immaculately clean, thoughtfully maintained, and tastefully furnished. We also had the convenience of parking our car securely in the inner courtyard. The comfort and attention to detail made our stay feel both relaxed and luxurious. This is an accommodation we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting Bologna!Host
Carlo, our gracious host, made our stay truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, he welcomed us warmly and ensured that every detail was taken care of. Despite our delayed arrival, he thoughtfully secured a table for us at a nearby restaurant. Throughout our stay, Carlo shared fantastic local tips and restaurant recommendations that allowed us to explore Bologna beyond the typical tourist spots—thank you, Carlo! Each morning, he prepared a rich, delicious, and nourishing breakfast, taking great care to accommodate all our wishes. One of the highlights of our visit was enjoying an apéritif with Carlo on the rooftop terrace, where we had a stunning view of Bologna’s landmarks—a memorable and unique experience. His hospitality was impeccable, and his passion for making guests feel at home was evident in every gesture.Location & Surroundings
The location of Residenza Palazzo Marchesini is simply perfect. Situated close to the historic center, all major sights and landmarks were within walking distance.

Loved this unique stay!
Liked: We liked how spacious, comfortable and clean everything was. The property has so much charm and character. The breakfast was delicious! Carlo is a wonderful host. He was quick to respond to all my questions. He carried our luggage up the stairs and helped arrange restaurant and taxi reservations. He showed us a lovely view from the rooftop. You won’t find a nicer host!!! It was a bit of a splurge for us, but we are happy we stayed. Highly recommend!
Disliked: Nothing to mention.

Liked: What can I say, this stay was perfect. Although I was traveling to Bologna for professional reasons, my time at the Palazzo Marchesini felt like the most relaxing retreat.My host, Carlo, went the extra mile to make me feel like home. First of all, he showed me around the property, giving an overview of its history and showing me the magnificent skyline view from the rooftop. The breakfast was -as everything during my stay there- an absolute delight. Ahead of the trip, Carlo sent a message to inquire about my dietary preferences. The food was abundant and good quality, and Carlo made sure I had everything I needed. The fluffy omelette with pancetta will live in my dreams for a long time. On top of that, the dining room is a majestic space, which contributed to a relaxing morning atmosphere before getting on with the day at BolognaFiere.The charm of Bologna helps in having a positive outlook on everything around you, but Carlo enhanced this feeling. He was really accommodating, making sure my stay was satisfying. His knowledge about the city, its quirks and hidden gems came in handy more than once -finding us a dinner table for 5 during Bologna book fair, at a restaurant that turned out to be great- and his thoughtful attitude made him an exceptional person to be around.All in all, I would recommend this place anytime!
