Description
Pozzo di Mezzo B&B is a charming residence created through the restoration of an old Emilian farmhouse, where antique roof tiles, original stonework, and fine handcrafted details reflect the history of the region and create a warm, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere.

The charm of tradition blends seamlessly with modern comfort, offering genuine hospitality that combines the convenience of city living with the pleasure of a green oasis overlooking the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell’Abbadessa, an area of outstanding natural beauty that forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Located within the city of Bologna, just 4 km from the historic centre, the B&B offers the privilege of staying in a peaceful, green setting without giving up the convenience of local amenities and excellent public transport connections.

Just a 5-minute walk from Via Toscana, guests will find restaurants, cafés, shops, and bus stops with frequent services reaching the most charming areas of Bologna’s historic centre in just 10–15 minutes.

Here, you can experience Bologna’s vibrant cultural and culinary scene before returning at the end of the day to a private and relaxing retreat.

Upon your reservation, I will be delighted to share with you all the information you need for a fantastic stay in Bologna..You won’t have to worry about anything, I have thought of everything for you!!!

To ensure the safety of our Guests and the property, the B&B is equipped with an alarm system and video surveillance, installed in full compliance with current privacy and security regulations.

An additional advantage is the strategic location of the property: although it is within the city of Bologna, the B&B is outside the historic centre’s Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL). Parking on the streets outside the city centre is often difficult to find and subject to hourly fees.

Guests can therefore leave their car safely in the private parking area without concerns about fines, permits, or parking difficulties, and easily reach the city centre by public transport, enjoying Bologna with complete peace of mind.

Hey from Francesca

Member since October 2008 | 52,580 hits
I’m Francesca and I was born in Bologna.

I love animals, travelling, good food, wine, nature, and everything that is beautiful, as well as sensible, polite, and kind people.

After many years of working in the fashion industry, first in Milan and then in Bologna, at the end of 2008 I decided to dedicate myself to hospitality.

Since I was a child, thanks to the intelligent curiosity of my wonderful parents, I have been fortunate enough to travel and discover distant and fascinating cultures, living experiences that have deeply enriched the way I see the world.

I believe that the quality and intensity of the journeys I have experienced allow me today to understand and meet my guests’ needs, simply offering
…. what I myself would like to receive when travelling.

Welcome to our home.

The photographs on this website were taken with my mobile phone, in order to provide an authentic and truthful representation of the B & B.

The location of Pozzo di Mezzo B&B offers a highly convenient way to experience Bologna, combining the calmness of a green, peaceful setting with close proximity to the city’s main attractions. The property is situated about 4 km from the historic center and just a five-minute walk from Via Toscana, one of the area’s primary thoroughfares, where guests can find restaurants, bars, a cinema, supermarkets, a pharmacy, a tobacco shop, a newsstand, and bus stops that provide quick access to Piazza Minghetti and the heart of the city in only 10-15 minutes.

One of the biggest advantages is its position outside the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL). Guests can park their cars for free in the private parking lot on site, avoiding the need for permits, traffic restrictions, and the hassle of finding parking in central areas, then easily reach the city center using public transportation.

Bologna’s historic center, internationally renowned for its porticoes recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, houses some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Walking through its streets, you’ll encounter Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica of San Petronio, the Neptune Fountain, the Town Hall, Palazzo Re Enzo, and the elegant Salaborsa Library. Not far away are the famous Two Towers, the enchanting Santo Stefano complex with its Seven Churches, the Mercato di Mezzo, and the Quadrilatero, which is the heart of Bologna’s culinary tradition. Also worth visiting are the Archiginnasio with its Anatomical Theatre, the National Art Gallery, the MAMbo museum, the Municipal Theatre, the charming little window on Via Piella, and the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, which overlooks the city from the surrounding hills.

For nature lovers, the B&B serves as an ideal starting point. Just a short distance away lies the Regional Park of the Bologna Gypsum Hills and the Calanchi dell’Abbadessa, one of Emilia-Romagna’s most captivating natural areas, known for its karst landscapes, scenic trails, and the spectacular Spipola Cave. Nearby are also Villa Ghigi Park, the Ronzano Hermitage, Cavaioni Park, and numerous hiking routes, including sections of the famous Via degli Dei, a favorite destination for trekking enthusiasts and outdoor walkers.

The accommodation is also particularly convenient for those needing to reach the city’s main healthcare facilities. Close by are, among others, the Madre Fortunata Toniolo Care Home, Villa Laura, Villa Maria, Bellaria Hospital, Sant’Orsola-Malpighi Polyclinic, Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, Villa Regina, and Villa Torri Hospital.

The location is also strategic for business travelers or event attendees. BolognaFiere exhibition center is about 6 km away, the Central Station is less than 7 km away, and Guglielmo Marconi Airport can be reached within approximately 13 km. Convenient connections are also available to San Ruffillo railway station, Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, Parco Nord, and the Unipol Arena.

The B&B Pozzo di Mezzo is superb. If it doesn't bother you that it is a 20-minute bus ride away from the city center (the bus station is nearby and the bus departs frequently) then book it. The house is wonderful, the rooms pretty and very clean. And the owner Francesca is very helpful and charming. Totally can recommend it!

Impeccable and very clean rooms and Francesca was extremely helpful in helping us find a restaurant where to have dinner on New Year's Eve and she made an effort to call various places that offered à la carte menu instead of the usual New Year's Eve dinner. Delicious pastry breakfast deserves a 10 out of 10; a bit less the prepackaged one on January 1st and for this reason the rating is only 9 (but we were warned in advance). The place is close to a street where you can find everything but to go to the city center (where it is almost impossible to park) you have to take the bus (it's only 15 minutes anyway). Highly recommended and worth coming back.

Exquisite place and far from the chaos for those looking for a bit of tranquility and elegance 10 minutes from the city center, all well served by means of transport and local establishments. Even more exquisite is the owner, of a kindness and unique availability at any time and for anything. Totally recommended.

What can I say... a wonderful weekend. So many things I liked that I'll try not to digress too much: The Pozzo di Mezzo B&B is very well maintained, it seems new, recently renovated, everything is perfectly in the right place and nice to see. In my opinion, the room photos don't do it justice! Impeccable cleanliness, needless to say. Breakfast: from the website, I didn't understand how a breakfast could cost so much, instead I find it brilliant. If you want to have a coffee with the machine (which is also delicious) and a packaged brioche are included in the price, which I consider low compared to Bologna and what is offered. If you want instead a bakery breakfast that is actually practically a sweet/savory lunch with the best you can find, then it's worth spending more because you won't have lunch for sure, so many things are offered (I'm not joking). Location: it would be perfect if they weren't building on the road to get there, but I say this just for transparency because once you pass the gate, you don't hear any noise and the view isn't affected. And then her: Francesca, a fantastic owner whose aim is to make you enjoy every moment. Super kind and helpful, she seems to know what music you would like to hear as background and what glass of wine you would like to drink. In short, top! I will definitely come back.

The property was very well appointed and of a high standard throughout with a very pleasant seating area outside. All necessary amenities are close by including a regular bus service. Bologna is a beautiful city that we will visit again.\n\nThe hostess, Francesca, gave us a very warm welcome and provided lots of information about the area which she is so clearly so passionate about, including her own hand drawn maps of the immediate area and one of Bologna itself, which were both very useful. Without doubt she is the most helpful and enthusiastic hostess that we have ever met, but was never intrusive with the advice that she offered.\n\nThank you very much Francesca, we'll see you again.
