Hey from Talia

Member since September 2015 | 24,234 hits
My Bed and Breakfast was opened in 1999 when the concept of managing one's own home for hospitality was still in its early stages.

I have always enjoyed challenges and after 11 years, my business is still going strong.

The enthusiasm and desire to progress have allowed me to meet and greet delightful guests to whom I can offer warmth, delicious food, and pleasant information about Bologna.

I will continue to be at your disposal, as only with enthusiasm can one carry on this activity.

Talia Franceschini.

Top floor of a villa with courtyard and garden. Offers a nice quiet, spacious blue room with a large private external bathroom. Yellow room adjacent with other guests. It feels like a chambre d'hôtes! Clean, a bit of antique furniture! Good for one or two nights.

Very clean beautifully furnished suite cared for lovingly by Talia. Located just a few steps from the Porta Saragozza it provides great lower cost accommodation just 10-15 minutes walk to the centre of the old town. You are also very close to beautiful park located outside the Porta Saragozza and closer to the foot of the colonnade to the Sanctuary. There are several patisseries on Saragozza outside the Porta and a lovely bar on Saragozza inside the porta all of which make it easy to find a spot to rest after a long day exploring the town. This is not a good choice if mobility is an issue. There are stairs into the building and no elevator to room on third floor of which Talia is very clear. Talia is very conscientious host making nice little touches thoughtful of her guests. We happen to be Canadian and she bought maple syrup and pancakes for our breakfast - a very thoughtful gesture.

In an ideal location for tranquility and proximity to the center, it becomes a welcoming place both for the style of the furnishings, but above all for the friendliness of the landlady.

Talia is an exceptional person, always ready to help and provide information. She takes care of her guests. The breakfast is very abundant, she even offers the English breakfast (eggs and bacon) if desired. She changes the bedding once a week and the towels every two days. Furthermore, the location is exceptional, a 15-minute walk from the city center, not accessible by car due to the ZTL, with the advantage of being able to park the car in the private courtyard. The only very small issue may concern people with difficulty moving around, as the apartments are on the 2nd floor with no elevator. I recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to stay in Bologna.

Lovely breakfast, perfect distance to walk into the City. Thank you Talia for your smile and charming place!

Mrs. Talia welcomed us very warmly, helped us create a beautiful memory of Bologna. Very convenient location, especially for the climb to the sanctuary of Madonna di San Luca. Having a parking spot was extremely convenient. Cozy, clean, and quiet room. Very rich breakfast served always with a smile. Highly recommended.

Exceptional location, quiet despite the proximity to busy streets, unmissable the possibility to park the car and just a stone's throw from the center. No other B&B in Bologna so close to the central area offers you this convenience. If we add the cordiality and sympathy of Talia, who manages the structure excellently, the result is excellent. We know where to come when we have to stay in Bologna again!

Beautiful accommodation well located but lacking privacy as the room door is very 'light' and glassed but not completely opaque so when the guests in the next room get up at night to use the bathroom, there is a strong light that comes into the room, not to mention the noise caused by this bathroom next to the room. The lady was very nice but served us a very simple breakfast (1 croissant and some toast, without butter!) while the other guests had piadine with ham, mozzarella, tomatoes, bread... it has a strange effect...

Gentile Signora, i clienti che erano al tavolo con voi vengono da 14 anni durante il periodo Fiera Cersaie. Vogliono quel tipo di colazione e pagano Euro 106 x notte. Io vi avevo detto che il vostro prezzo era quello dei periodi normali anche se per un giorno ancora in Fiera. Se ricordo bene Euro 74+euro 6 tassa soggiorno con bagno in camera.
