Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Bologna, Italy

From our reviews (1): 'We have returned to Taiwan yesterday. Al Parco was the perfect location for us because it is within walking distance to the fairground. We would also wish to stay Al Parco for the next exhibit. Thank you so much for all the assistance from you and Ken.' (James L., Taiwan] 'Un appartement idéal parfaitement entretenu, très confortable et très moderne, une grande terrasse où l'on peut se détendre et se restaurer. il est également très bien situé : proche du centre des congrès et aussi du centre ville, nous avons donc fait tous nos déplacements à pied. la propriétaire est une personne charmante qui nous avait préparé le nombre de lits nécessaires et nous avait préparé une corbeille de fruits pour notre arrivée.' (Sebastien L., France) 'Facilidad para aparcar y buena comunicación al centro. El apartamento está muy cuidado y limpio.' (Amalia G., Spain)

From our reviews (2): 'The facility was spotlessly clean, very well supplied with amenities, in a new building of the highest quality construction and a very convienient location to transportation, groceries, shopping, and restaurants. The owners could not have been more gracious in their hospitality and helpfulness.' (Rev. Michael D., USA) 'We stayed at Al Parco apartment for a week at the end of July and we would just like to let you know that we had a wonderful time! The apartment is spacious and has so many fantastic facilities - and thank you very much for the all the delicious food! The location was perfect, as we were able to walk to the bus stop in 1 minute, and the supermarket was just down the street. Silvio was also very accommodating. He made sure that we knew how all of the appliances worked and even told us information about Bologna. Thank you also for the bus ticket. Thank you again, we will definitely recommend your apartment to anyone who is traveling to Bologna.' (Bianca P., Australia)

From our reviews (3): 'My husband and I travel to Europe once or twice a year, and can honestly say that the accommodations at Al Parco were the best we've ever experienced. Not only is the apartment immaculate and large, but the owner and her husband went far beyond our expectations to provide us with the information and supplies we would need during our stay (even beverages and snacks!). The area is so convenient. There is an excellent supermarket right across the street, a great bakery for morning coffee and pastry a 5 minute walk away, and a bus that brings you right to the center of town. The area does not feel touristy at all, you can really relax and feel at home. One of our favorite things about our stay was the large terrace - every day we made it a must-do to spend some time sitting outside. The light within the apartment is lovely too, especially soothing in the afternoonin after a long day of walking the city. For us, Al Parco has set a new standard for an apartment rental' (Neala, USA)

Other Activities: Fashion & Antique Shopping; Museums; Theaters; Festivals; Bologna worldwide famous gourmet cuisine; Cooking School; More.

Italy Vacation

VC9902 Canada
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed for 5 days in July 2009 and were totally impressed with this condo. The size of the rooms was very large and everything seemed recently renovated. The outside terrace ran the length of the condo, making it also very spacious.
The condo was situated in what appears to be a recently built development. The landscaping also seems recent. Outdoor parking was gated, very secure. We used the condo as a springboard for day trips to Florence, Venice, etc., and of course Bologna. In Bologna, all interesting spots were a short bus ride away, very convenient.
The owner, Paola, was very welcoming and helpful. She even provided complimentary bus tickets, bottle of wine/beer, fruit baskets....WOW! A North American style supermarket is a 5 min walk away.
Overall our family was extremely satisfied and would definitely return next time we’re in Italy.
Grazie Paola.

Great Apartment, Great Location, Wonderful Hosts

Review Submitted: January 12, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
Al Parco is everything it is described to be. Our family of six was very comfortable in this nicely decorated, centrally located apartment. The Bologna bus system is very easy to use and the park near the apartment is an added bonus. Plus, the trains run regularly between Bologna, Florence, Milan, Venice, and Rome. It was nice for us to travel to other cities during the day, and return to the apartment at night. Paola and Ken couldn't have been more kind and helpful. We've traveled quite a bit in Europe, and this was definitely one of the best places we've stayed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Al Parco to our friends and family.

Conveniences Abound

Kathy & Fred Buffalo NY
Review Submitted: November 26, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
This clean, new, apartment looks even better than the photos, is near a bus stop, a large grocery store, and Bologna's busy train station. Nice restaurants and pizza parlors are within walking distance. Paola demonstrated how to use all the appliances and stocked us with a beautiful bowl of fruit, a bottle of wine, a refrigerator with milk and juice, a bus pass, and phone numbers to call if we needed help. Our week flew by as we enjoyed the conveniences of home while far away in Italy! I'd highly recommend Al Parco to anyone.

TWO GREAT WEEKS IN BOLOGNA

PG63 Somerset, UK
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
AL PARCO REVIEW

My wife and I spent 2 weeks in Al Parco in September 2009. The apartment lived up to its listing description; indeed, it exceeded it. It was well furnished, well equipped, clean and comfortable. A lot of thought had evidently gone into anticipating guests' needs, with little things like an introductory bus pass, drink in the fridge and free local calls on the telephone making one feel at home. The air con was useful in hot weather and the balcony is large, with comfortable furniture. We were met on arrival and given a comprehensive introduction to the apartment, supplemented with written briefing. Paola accommodated our minor requests before our visit and both she and Ken were most helpful. (Paola's English is impeccable!)
The apartment's location is very convenient for local services. There are plenty of shops nearby, including a good supermarket, and a selection of restaurants, including take-aways. A regular, frequent and inexpensive bus route passes the apartment and goes directly into the city, passing the central railway station and the bus station en route. We had no need of a car, but there is secure parking on site. The airport is not far and the taxi ride cost us only 15 euros. There is a taxi rank 400 metres from the apartment.
We made several trips into Bologna, which has a lot to offer - culture, shopping, restaurants etc. It was not too crowded and although prices at bars in the centre had a premium they were not as bad as Venice, Florence etc. We took advantage of the railway system to visit Parma, Ferrara, Modena and Ravenna. The services are convenient and not expensive, though Ravenna is less easy to get to. All 4 are worth the trouble; each has something exceptional to offer.
We had a memorable holiday, in which Al Parco played its part. This is an apartment which I can recommend without reservation

Great Apartment & Friendly Helpful Owner

Jin Der Taipei, Taiwan
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This is my second stay in Al Parco, the apartment is locate within walking distance to Fiera, we do not have to wait for taxi or bus everyday. It is so convenience after the long day and apartment is big and clear. I like the terrace so much because we can sit outside and enjoy. The owner provided all necessary information of restaurant, prepare the grocery even the bus ticket with complimentary. We will definite come back again next year.
