L'ARENA - Most Prestigious Apartment in the Heart of the Historical Center

L'ARENA - A most prestigious rental in the heart of the Historical Center

One of the most beautiful rentals in Bologna, a very comfortable, roomy and highly prestigious one, L’Arena apartment is named after the famous Arena Del Sole theatre which sits right across the street. Away from central yet seedy, messy areas such as the train and bus station and the University department, lively and very colorful, animated, this is the best section of the vibrant Historical Center. The classiest stores, restaurants, cafes, the best shopping and the most amusing strolling are all here, under the old arches of Via Indipendenza, the very heart of the Italian capital of youth, nightlife and gourmet cuisine – Bologna.

Hence, the easiness of getting around without any need for a car. The airport shuttle bus is at a stone’s throw, about 10 different bus lines to all the interest points in town and beyond are available at the door, the railroad station is at walking distance and so is Piazza Maggiore, the center of gravity of this stunning Medieval and Renaissance urban beauty.

L’Arena is part of one of the most elegant buildings bordering Via Indipendenza. A third floor (elevator) with a view over the avenue, extremely clean and well kept, it comfortably accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 large living-diningroom, a kitchen with all the tools provided, a hallway and a small terrace. Bedding is as follows:

- Room #1: one queen-size bed and one single;
- Room #2: two singles that can be put together to form a queen-size plus one single sofabed;
- Room #3: two single sofabeds;
- Room #4: one single bed

Furnished with choice antique furniture and craft (1800’s and 1900’s), decorated with love and zest with all the major appliances provided and in perfect working order, air conditioned and with high-speed wifi internet connection, L’Arena stands out for its class, traditional Bolognese style and comfort. It would be hard for you to find a more central and comfortable accommodation, a better spot to fully enjoy the life and the fun of this amazing city.

Other pluses: a large parking lot (garage – guarded) only about 40 mts., plenty of all kind of restaurants, pubs and pizzerias in the immediate vicinity (the most renowned restaurant in town is right across the street), Friday and Saturday open-air market in the nearby piazza, (huge, lot of fun!), theatres and movie theatres, monuments, museums, etc. right there for you to enjoy.

Comfort, convenience, class, fun and great relax: these are the key words for L’Arena, a superb place, your nr. 1 home away from home.

Sweet apartment
We loved this little apartment. It had everything you needed. It was clean and spacious and just lovely for us to stay at for five days and venture out. The owners were sweet and thoughtful and responsive.

Beautiful historic apartment right in the centre of Bologna
The apartment is beautiful; right in the centre of the historic town with antique furniture and an authentic feel of being a real Italian home. The rooms were light and bright although a bit noisy, as expected because of the location, so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper! Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equipped with staples such as coffee and condiments. The bathrooms perhaps need a little updating but they were perfectly clean. The beds are antique but with modern mattresses so be prepared for them to be higher than modern beds and a little softer because of foam mattresses. The owners are very helpful. We had some issues understanding the separation of rubbish for recycling so you may need to make notes as there is much to take in on arrival. I highly recommend going on a food tour and to try the local tagliatelle al ragu which is so much better than spag bol! We went to Modena for a morning which was easy to get to and to Florence for a day trip; if you are going to Florence I suggest paying extra and going on the fast train, booking a sightseeing walking tour to skip the queues and watch your bag (avoid taking a backpack).

Nice apartment in great area (with noise and bed comfort issues)
Early communications were a bit tricky, but we were eventually given good access details. Very nice owners. Spacious, traditional style apartment, with very good lift access and good security. 10-12 minutes walk from the rail station. 8-10 minutes to the 2 towers. Despite double-glazing, sleeping was disrupted by external street noise until after midnight. I would definitely recommend new beds, pillows, and bedding, all of which were below standard. Huge sitting room with dining table. Nice, but I would suggest that the owners invest in some updating.
