Stylish holiday apartments in Bologna

Discover boutique holiday rentals in Bologna and charming holiday apartments

Late afternoon light filters through a broad portico, casting soft shadows on terracotta façades—a subtle reminder of Bologna’s architectural grace. In this city, self-catering holiday rentals strike a rare balance between discreet elegance and the independent rhythm of local life. A charming holiday apartment in the university district might open onto a balcony overlooking hidden courtyards, while a villa on the surrounding hills offers a quiet retreat punctuated by the distant hum of Vespa motors and the scent of jasmine. Walls dressed in soft plaster, details in exposed brick, and textiles dyed in Tuscan earth tones ground each place in regional craft. Inside, spaces feel both generous and refined, with kitchens beckoning you to cook tagliatelle al ragù using produce from a Tuesday market stall. The walls might hold a print of Bologna’s towers, or a small desk bathed in morning light—spaces for thoughtful solitude as much as convivial conversation. Here, the promise of design-led hospitality isn’t imposed; it emerges through respect—for space, for routine, and for the city’s rhythm. Each villa, apartment and holiday rental in our collection has been handpicked for its style, soul, and sense of place.
