Hey from Gianluca

Member since May 2010 | 74,030 hits

Hi, I'm Gianluca.

I'm passionate about travel.

I decided to pursue the b&%b that my mother created 20 years ago.

I think I'm solar. Surely I love to compare myself with my guests and try, if possible, to direct them to discover our wonderful Bologna.

I like to talk and I will do my best so that each of my guests can feel at home.

The apartment is nicely furnished and close to the city center. Key handover was uncomplicated. Breakfast is listed as included in the advertisement but was charged extra. The breakfast consists only of packaged convenience products, no fresh or healthy foods, like oatmeal or fruit. In the kitchen, we had to rinse and clean first. The landlady responds quickly to questions.

Mi dispiace per la colazione, ma non possiamo dare prodotti freschi Solo monoporzioni (possibilmente) e sempre confezionati. Nel prezzo indicato la colazione non è MAI inclusa. Ma con addebito a parte La ringrazio comunque per la recensione.

The B&B A Casa Fachin is truly delightful and enchanting, attended to in the smallest details. The welcome and availability of Mrs. Lella will make you feel at home. Everything is tidy and very clean. Our room was quite large and quiet. With a short walk, you can reach the center, and there are many places nearby, from pastry shops to restaurants to shops.

A Casa Fachin was a beautiful stay for the 2 nights we had there. Check in was easy and the room was clean and tidy. It was well located in the city centre, which made it easy for us to go around Bologna and to get to the train station.\n\nThe host was friendly and communicative and answered any questions we had.

What can I say about Casa Fachin? It is very clean, well-kept, in an excellent location just 5 minutes on foot from Via del Pratello where there are many places frequented by locals and students where you can eat well at reasonable prices. The welcome from Mrs. Lella is something you will remember for her kindness and extreme availability that you will hardly find elsewhere. The room, Summer, was not very large but very comfortable and had a delightful balcony shaded by a majestic tree. It is truly a remarkable added value on hot summer nights if you want to read a book in comfort. Naturally, the room is equipped with air conditioning and a very large, very clean, and comfortable ensuite bathroom. I do not have breakfast in the morning so I did not taste everything that was offered in the kitchen but the choice seemed varied and abundant. In 15 minutes on foot you can reach Piazza Maggiore. I found only one flaw: the pillows were too thin, but I used the other 2 provided in the room. Would I come back? Of course, I will be back to them in the coming months. Thank you again, Mrs. Lella!

We felt at home. A very well located accommodation, you can walk to the city center in a short time. Comfortable and spacious room, very cozy, with natural light and tastefully decorated. There is a small shared kitchen-dining room, where you can prepare coffee, tea or a simple meal. The owner of the establishment is very kind and attentive. She helped us with everything we asked for.

I stayed here only one night but as soon as I arrived, I immediately felt at home. The structure is well-served and well taken care of in every comfort. It felt like stepping back in time, when my grandmother was preparing the house waiting for the arrival of guests and you could perceive all the love, attention, and care in setting up the house. It doesn't seem like a B&B, it feels like being at home, comfortable and well-served with every comfort. The area is very central and served by various public transport, but also by other activities such as supermarkets and bars. Highly recommended also for the location near the Renato dell'Ara stadium, reachable on foot with a 20-minute walk, but also with several buses passing through the area. Highly recommended for the price, central and served area, cleanliness, and courtesy of the hosts.

Good Bed & Breakfast just a stone's throw from the center. Extremely clean and with friendly hosts. The only reason I gave a 6 for breakfast is that, unlike in the past, they can no longer provide homemade sweets due to bureaucratic issues. Instead, they have an agreement with a nearby historic bar where you can get croissants and drinks. In the kitchen, there is only a coffee machine with pods.

The answer from the host:
Grazie. Alla prossima

angela

Great location, self-management is simple and very well organized. Excellent communication with the owner and good cleanliness. Only flaw to report: for breakfast, you are given a voucher to use in a nearby café, very good, but very limited. The voucher is only 2.50 euros per person, which must be supplemented if you also want to have a juice besides coffee and croissant. Usually when staying out for breakfast, you are entitled to something more than just coffee and croissant... needs improvement.

After a few years, I returned to stay at this property for a weekend and, as I remembered, I had a great time! Mrs. Lella is super kind, friendly, and helpful. She gave me the opportunity to access the property independently in her absence, also leaving me vouchers for breakfast at a great bar around the corner. The area is central but quiet. The room is spacious and comfortable, as is the bathroom. Maximum cleanliness!

Very clean and very spacious rooms in a large 2nd floor apartment where you can also use a large kitchen. It's slightly off the beaten track, but a comfortable walk to the centre of town. Lella the hostess is in touch about all the details before and during your stay, which helps everything go smoothly. The apartment is quite expensive for what it is, but everything works well and is comfortable. Breakfast is at a cafe a short walk from the apartment.

We have never seen the host. Along the website there should be an abundant breakfast with bread, butter, coffee, tea, jam, brioches, fresh and dried fruit, and fresh juices. Instead of all this, we got vouchers for the 'breakfast' and had to go to a bar on the corner of the street. There we got only one cappuccino and a brioche. Last but not least; we had unexpected to pay (10 euro) for the air conditioning in our room. We complained via the app. Instead of an apology, the host wrote to us; 'You're the only person who's giving me this kind of trouble'. We will strongly advise not to book this accommodation.

stayed from 07/23/2022 to 07/26/2022

The answer from the host:
I always answer her as I answered her previously in private. I add, however, that despite not having liked the breakfast made at the bar you have consumed it for well 2 mornings out of 3. Not only did you think it was good to even the bill by not paying the tourist tax that you would have to pay cash. Correct behavior your own?.

susanne

Very good accommodation. 2 quiet rooms at the back. Very clean. Excellent location. I had a few nice days in Bologna. The doors to the hallway are very noisy. Breakfast is ready, unfortunately all packaged in plastic. But these are already the only flaws. Thank you. Susanne from Mannheim.

Grazie Susanne per la recensione. Colazione avvolta nella plastica: è vero. Però la normativa dice che possiamo dare solo prodotti confezionati. Io faccio un'unica eccezione pcon le brioches fresche di pasticceria. Il resto tutto confezionato. Non possiamo fare diversamente. Spero tornerai a Bologna Un caro saluto.

Highly recommended! The rooms of this B&B are spacious, bright, well-kept in detail (in the bathroom you can find the necessary for the shower and even a body cream) and very clean. There is a kitchen available to guests who can prepare breakfast with the products left at their disposal. Excellent location both for the tranquility of rest, and for the proximity to the center (10 minutes walk) and to the stadium within walking distance. The friendly and helpful hostess for any request. Absolutely a must try.

Nice we could take a snack when we came home at night in the shared kitchen. A very nice house in the south-west of the city centre.

We had a good time. Nice room with bathroom, availability of using the kitchen where a coffee pod per person, milk, butter, jam, and bread are provided. Good position in relation to the center of Bologna (Piazza Maggiore can be reached in 15 minutes on foot). The only small downside is that smoking is allowed in the house and indeed the guest in the other room smoked, however the smell did not enter the room.
