Description San Martino & the Two Towers: Bologna

Situated in the heart of Bologna, just a few steps from the beautiful Basilica of San Martino and the Two Towers, this home has a fantastic address, in our opinion. There are plenty of restaurants and theatres to enjoy, while Galleria Cavour is packed with designer boutiques such as Armani, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Prada. Other attractions include Piazza Maggiore and the Morandi Museum, dedicated to the painter Giorgio Morandi.

If you don't fancy eating out, head back to this apartment and rustle up a Bolognese sauce (first created in the city) for dinner and wash down your pasta creation with one of the well-known DOC wines of the Colli Bolognesi. We love the characterful wall and ceiling beams here. This place is the ideal Bologna bolthole.
