Hey from Francesco

Member since June 2021 | 4,983 hits

Hello, I'm Francesco. What can I say about myself? I am a retired man who does this type of activity out of passion. I enjoy it and I try to transmit this joy to the people who give me the opportunity to host them. I come from a completely different line of work, but I have good manual skills for practical things. I'm not really a sporty type, but I really enjoy walking. I have done several pilgrimages, including the Camino de Santiago, the Path in the Mutated Lands, the Path of St. Benedict, the Way of the Gods, the Tiberina Way, and the Amerina Way to Rome. I love the mountains and I have taken up climbing, but I also enjoy the sea. Maybe it's because I was born in Cattolica and lived there for 25 years.

Area mid-centre

The GattoMoro1 and GattoMoro2 apartments are located in a village of houses near the bank of the Reno River, so they are in the countryside but only 800m from the center of the hamlet of Longara. They were converted from an old renovated stable into a residential building in 1994 and recently revised.
The surrounding countryside is typically flat, and if the bank of the Reno River is cleared of weeds, it can be walked or cycled along for almost its entire length, reaching Bologna and beyond to the south or, much further, even reaching its mouth on the Adriatic Sea to the north/northeast. We are close to G. Marconi Airport (6/7 km), the center of Bologna, and the fairgrounds (approximately 15 km).
Nearby, we have the Maggiore Hospital, the San Giovanni in Persiceto Hospital, and the Bentivoglio Hospital. About 80/100m away, there is a large free public parking lot with more than 50 parking spaces. There is bus stop number 81 that goes south to Bologna and arrives at the Central Station. Unfortunately, it does not run at all hours, so it is advisable to check the schedule if you want to use it. In the center of the hamlet, there is a church, a pizzeria, two bars, a small shopping center, a pharmacy, a hardware store, 2 hairdresser shops, a bakery, a sushi bar, and a physiotherapy center. A little further away, there is the gelato shop Mille tentazioni. There is a gas station and a large auto repair workshop.

The host Francesco is very attentive and helpful. We had some problems with the washing machine and he did not hesitate to come and help us. Upon booking he sent us information on how to get to the apartment and additional details. Very helpful. Communication is very good and quick. Access to the apartment is very handy without keys. The apartment is clean and well equipped. We would recommend visiting GattoMoro. Close to Bologna.

I believe this is the first time I really felt at home. What struck me next, besides the extreme courtesy of the host and the cleanliness, is the scent of the linens, a scent from the bed and bathroom, and the comfort of the bed as well as the sofa bed. Truly compliments.

Experience more than satisfactory! Welcome, kindness, cleanliness, excellent value for money. We were five in apartment no. 2, and as soon as we entered (with a convenient and very simple remote access) we were immediately struck by the very well-kept appearance of the interiors. Wooden ceiling with exposed beams, large windows that provide excellent brightness with a view of the endless surrounding fields, other small windows with mosquito nets, very nice terrace with a shading sail (even if the weather we found was not the best to fully enjoy its comfort!). Very spacious and well-kept bathroom. Bed, sofa bed, and armchair are very comfortable! Kitchen with induction hobs, dishes, coffee machine, and kettle with a good selection of herbal teas. In short, nothing was missing at all. If we ever pass by the Bologna airport again, we will definitely know where to go! Thank you Francesco for your availability and kindness! Until next time! Federico, Chiara, Tommaso, Claudio, and Benedetta.
