The inner courtyard is truly beautiful—lush greenery and a peaceful vibe that made it a lovely spot to relax. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality—friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. We didn’t even ask about parking, but they kindly arranged a 24-hour parking spot just outside the hotel for €9 using the platform’s booking option—super convenient when the garage was full.

Boutique Hotel Casa Faccioli

Staying at Boutique Hotel Casa Faccioli in Bologna was an absolute highlight of my trip. Nestled right in the heart of the city, it’s just a 2-minute walk from Piazza Nettuno and the main square, with the iconic leaning towers nearby—stepping out the front door feels like stepping into a living piece of medieval history. The location is unbeatable, yet the price is refreshingly fair for such a prime spot. Inside, the rooms are clean, well-appointed, and professionally maintained daily. Breakfast is served at a cozy café just around the corner—four different options to choose from, all hearty and satisfying, especially considering how much you’d pay elsewhere for something similar. But what truly sets this place apart is the personal touch. The staff—Filippo, Massimo, and Tatiana—go above and beyond with genuine care and attention. Any issue is resolved quickly, even if it’s outside standard services. Tatiana, being a native Russian speaker, made the experience feel extra special and welcoming in a country where Russian isn’t commonly spoken. It’s clear they genuinely want guests to relax and focus on enjoying their time, not worrying about details. This hotel isn’t just a stay—it’s a warm, thoughtful experience. I’ll definitely be back.
