B&B La Stradetta

Excellent B&B, truly family-owned. The owner is wonderful, the room is large and clean and the breakfast very rich. The location is amazing, in the center of Bologna. I would not recommend using a car during your stay as the center of Bologna is crowded and has many off-limits areas, you need to pay for parking daily and the owner can help you out registering your car with the City Authorities during your stay (I know Americans are not used to this European concept of closing the historical centers of towns to general traffic to reduce pollution and preserve the area and its inhabitants from too much traffic).

I was attending the Cosmoprof Bologna 2019 this March with my wife and we were surprised to learn that most hotels had already been booked months ahead. I settled on the B&B La Stradetta. This amazing B&B was located in a quite street in a nice neighborhood in the city center. Sabrina our host upon arriving made us feel at home in her wonderful and eclectic artist loft-apartment filled with art and calmness, right away we felt right at home. All the rooms were large, quite and super clean. Morning breakfast was simple but very good and healthy and Sabrina prepared some amazing scrambled eggs purchased directly from the farmers market, delicious !! Sabrina is easy to talk to and will go out of her way to make your stay the most enjoyable possible. She recommended some of her favorite restaurants and certainly enjoyed the hip market area where the market after closing becomes the local hang out with a variety of restaurants to be enjoyed, we just loved the Fish Market restaurant... fresh, delicious, cheap !!! But get there early if you want a seat. We will be returning next year and will definitely book in advance at La Stradetta and of course we look forward in seeing Sabrina again !!!
