'Casa Isolani Piazza Maggiore and no. 1 Via D'Azeglio' are immersed in the atmosphere of Bologna's Piazza Grande, the Neptune Fountain, the Town Hall, the splendid church of San Petronio. In the middle, three minutes' walk away, the Two Towers and the historic 'Di Mezzo' market, recently restored and made available to the citizens, a bustling area where you can try the typical cuisine, buy quality foodstuffs and enjoy the authentic Bologna food experience, until late at night.

I recently stayed at Casa Isolani on Piazza Santo Stefano - based on the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint. It was superlative in every way - from the location to the cozy and comfortable space to the outstanding concierge service (Olivia). It was my first stay in Bologna but it won't be the last - and this will be the place at which I stay. They do however need a better router or WiFi service in general....we couldn't use our computers in our bedrooms - only in the common area.

This is simply an exceptional place to stay. It is very comfortable and clean, convenient too as it is in the Plaza Maggiore. Restaurants and shops all located near by, as a disabled person, this was very convenient and there was an elevator to the rooms. I honestly don't think a traveller can do better than this beautiful apartment. I spent far too much time looking out the window at all the sights and sounds below and it wasn't noisy at all during the night. It was the perfect place to stay while in Bologna.

Absolutely charming, beautiful hotel located right in the heart of everything. We arrived with our dog in tow and as we'd been traveling in Italy for weeks, quite a few bags. The lovely proprietress met us at the hotel and she could not have been nicer helping us get settled. The room itself was pretty and the bathroom was enormous and stocked with upscale French toiletries. As we were only staying one night, we were able to leave our bags at the hotel while we explored the town before our train to the next destination. We would definitely stay here again, I was very impressed.

Though the location and Room is splendid unfortunately the heating did not work. The room was cold and we were unable to contact anyone or get the room heated considering the current weather. Overall we were extremely disappointed.

This place is in a great location right next to the Basilica Santo Stefano. 20 minute walk from the railway station if you are coming by bus from the airport. I took the Loft room, which had a large comfy bed and an efficient bathroom. There is natural light from Velux windows, but no view. Friendly and effieicent check in, though there are the usual tensions in getting to exactly the right place and meeting your greeter. Breakfast was the ususal combination of long life and processed foods - but there was a decent coffee machine. Check out is an early 10am, though I was given to 11 as no-one elses was staying. No luggage storage

We had a wonderful stay at the Residency Casa Isolani on Piazza Maggiore (Via D'Azeglio)! For our first stay in Bologna it was the perfect choice - directly on Piazza Maggiore!! The Casa Isolani is a mixture between hotel/apartment. There’s no reception and we received the key our two rooms upon appointment. For every question we could contact the Residency by WhatsApp and received immediately an reply. For the breakfast, we received voucher for an typical Italian breakfast (cappuccino and croissant) in the most typical and nice café just around the corner. On of the rooms (called “Piazza Maggiore”) has a balcony overlooking the Piazza and we could have stayed hours there watching the crowd on of the most beautiful squares of Italy. We were also lucky to be in Bologna for the St.Antoninio Festival, with music on the square and a huge firework, directly in front of the window! If you want silence, it’s enough to close the hermetic windows. The hotel situation in Bologna is difficult (few and very old hotels) and the Casa Isolani is an excellent alternative, if you don’t mind not having a reception service or a breakfast room. And instead you get the most incredible feeling of living in the middle of Bologna, a city I fell in love with! We will definitely come back!

Finding a great central location with easy access to all the things you are interested in seeing and doing is what a lot of us travellers are looking for. Casa Isolani gave us exactly that in Bologna. We had a spectacular room (called Bifora), modern while retaining some of the historical elements, even with a small balcony overlooking Piazza Maggiore. It cannot get more central! The room was big, beautiful, air-conditioned and with a fantastic bed, we slept like babies! The bathroom was large, with plenty of space for everything and a great rainfall-style shower. The soundproofing of the windows was truly impressive, despite there being an open-air cinema in the square we heard nothing! Included in our stay was an Italian style breakfast served in a lovely café just around the corner with a nice terrace. All-in-all we had a dream stay at Casa Isolani making our stay in Bologna one of the best we have had in Italy.

We stayed in Casa Isolani for two nights for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The location is fantastic, right on the beautiful Piazza Santo Stefano but tucked away in a courtyard so away from the buzz. There is no reception so we arranged to meet Paula to check in and it all went smoothly. The building is very old and grand, and the hotel is on the top floor (tiny lift then one flight of stairs). Our room (Due Torre) was spacious, light and clean, with a picture-perfect view of the city and the two towers from the small window. Breakfast was help-yourself pastries, juice, cold meats and toast. Cakes were left for afternoon snacks and there was always cold water and juice in the fridge. We loved our stay in this beautiful city.
