The Jasmine Terrace Retreat: elegant and quiet apartment in the city center

La Porta Rossa is located at the heart of Bologna, a 5-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore, in a quiet street, in one of the most unspoiled areas of the center of Bologna. The apartment is in the context of a renovated and elegant building and is elegantly furnished and equipped with all the comfort, specifically made and finished in order to be destined to be temporary rented. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, large living room with sofa bed all for you exclusively. Oriented toward the inside part of the building is completely quiet and peaceful. It also has a large terrace with dining table. Equipped with air conditioning, very fast wi-fi and complete with washing machine and dryer. In the living room there is a large screen television. The building has an elevator heading down to the floor of the parking space. You can park in the garage at the daily price of 25 EUR plus city tax of access to the LTZ of 6 euro for entry. From the station, the apartment is a 15 minute walk, otherwise you can take one of the many buses that travel along the nearby Independence and Marconi streets. From the airport we suggest to take a taxi which cost does not usually exceed 25 euro. The presence of a garage allows easy access by car.

3 days in Bologna en route to Dolomites

Perfect location and most gracious host made our stay fabulous. The host provided an extensive list of attractions, restaurants, cafes, markets, museums, and gelato shops. A food market where locals shop is only steps away. There is also a pharmacy, and dry cleaners. The main piazza is very close. We would love to come back again.

The best in Bologna!

We had a wonderful stay at Giuseppe and Marco’s apartment in Bologna. They were great hosts… communicative, responsive, and helpful. Very lovely people! The apartment was spacious and well equipped. We loved the furnishings and design. The outdoor patio was also very nice. It was also really convenient that they had parking available in the building, since we had a car. We hope to come back and stay here again in the future.

The Red Door

Giuseppina & Marco are great hosts, met us at the apartment and made sure that we had everything they needed. They also organised a taxi/van to collect us from the airport and to return again at the end of our stay - this included a baby seat for our baby! They also helped with our itineray visiting sights of interest and a food tour and a cookery class. Plus Bologna is the best-kept secret for an Italian holiday, so much to do and such friendly people. Very relaxing. The Red Door is in a great location and the access to the patio area was a great bonus. OK overlooked on all sides - but this is genuine city living and amazingly quiet. Look no further book this place the hospitality industry could learn much from this experience!

Short break in Bologna

What a perfect property, fantastic location, lovely patio & the property is immaculate. The hosts Guiseppina & Marco could not have been nicer or more helpful with all aspects of our visit. They provided a huge range of information on museums, attractions, art galleries, restaurants & transport. They also made reservations for us at a local Trattoria & arranged private transfer to the airport.

The Red Door Apartment and our host, Guisippina, were both wonderful. The apartment was clean, comfortable, attractive and in as good a location in central Bologna as one could wish. Guisippina took care of us as if we were family, on arrival, during our stay and on departure. Highly recommended.

Wonderful overall experience

Communication with the hosts was wonderful from the moment we booked this property to the moment we arrived then at check out. The information provided about the property and the town was so helpful and made our first stay in Bologna perfect! The property was just what we needed for a family of 4 looking to be close to the city center with plenty of restaurants and fun things to do and locations to explore. Thank you Giuseppina and Marco for the hospitality!

Fabulous stay in Bologna

The Red Door was a fabulous apartment in a centrally located area of Bologna. The space is so comfortable and easy for 2 couples. The hosts thought of everything, from coffee pods, kitchen items, toiletries to blankets to wrap up in on the terrace. Communication was excellent and the hosts responsive to our needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful hosts and apartment!

Giuseppina and Marco were wonderful hosts! They were super communicative within days of our check in. Sent us lots of useful information in advance and when we arrived showed us all around the apartment. Giuseppina also offered and made several restaurant reservations and did not steer us wrong. She is the Italian grandmother we all want! The location is perfect near the city center but on a quiet street so you can sleep/relax peacefully! All the stars to Giuseppina and Marco for their wonderful hospitality!

Giuseppina, the host, was so welcoming and helpful, personalising information and making bookings and reservations for us. Porta Rossa is centrally located so everything is within walking distance. The jewel in the crown is the spacious terrace with it’s abundance of succulent plants. A lovely area to relax in with a glass of local wine

We loved this apartment and Bologna

This was a really great place. Fabulous location. Caring and helpful hosts. Wonderful patio. A/C. We had such a wonderful time here. We spent a lot of time on the patio, particularly in the evenings. We cooked several meals in the very well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed hanging our clothes to dry after using the excellent washing machine. And really appreciate our always helpful hosts. Bologna was also a treat. We loved the porticoes, and found them very helpful in the heat.

The best place to stay in Bologna

If I could give Giuseppina one million stars, I would. The place itself was stunning. Beautiful art she has collected fills the apartment, making for a gorgeous place to return to after a long day. The apartment was incredibly clean and all amenities worked perfectly. The location was stunning, with beautiful frescos from olden days right outside the door. The recommendations she provided for food and activities were fantastic. Her kindness was immense, she has such a warm and welcoming energy. When we made the mistake of accidentally locking ourself out of the apartment, she solved the problem for us quickly and we were able to get back in without a hitch. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Bologna, definitely let it be here. This was the most positive stays my family has ever had. Thank you for everything Giuseppina, it was truly spectacular.

Bright Spacious Spotless

We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at Giusy’s wonderful apartment. Everything was as pictured, and she even provided basics such as tea and coffee. The apartment is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and spacious enough that four of us were very comfortable sharing the space. The large terrace is perfect for morning coffee and late afternoon aperitivo. The apartment is very centrally located, about 15 minutes walk from the train station, 5 minutes from the historical Center, and in a quiet neighbourhood. We have no hesitation about recommending this apartment to anyone and we will certainly reserve it again when we next come to Bologna. Thank you for being such a gracious host Giusy, and for offering us the opportunity to stay in your lovely apartment! Brava!

Absolutely PHENOMENAL property

There are just not enough superlatives to describe how wonderful the property itself is: So very spacious, comfortable seating, squeaky clean, and incredible location. The patio was a gorgeous bonus space to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an aperitif in the afternoon. The owner went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed; when the guests who had just checked out broke the washer, the owner had the laundry picked up and washed everything at her house! So grateful for her communication and assistance. She provided a very thorough and informative email with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. The location was a quick 18 minute walk to the train station where we caught a train to Modena one day and to Ravenna the following day. The property would make an great homebase for day trips by train to many of the larger cities. We give this our highest recommendation!! (We are seasoned travelers to Italy ( 11 trips) and have used VRBO for all of our property rentals.)

Outstanding in all respects!

We had an excellent stay at this very special property. Giuseppina met us at the apartment when we arrived and spent a nice long time telling us about the apartment and the wonderful city of Bologna. Her English is much better than our Italian and we could communicate with each other quite easily. She made restaurant reservations for our first evening and also reserved a taxi for us for the day of our departure. The apartment itself is very spacious and so nicely furnished and designed (emphasis on design). The bedrooms are modern and comfortable as are the two bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you would ever need and was a delight to use. The couch in the living room was a beauty with such a special design form that I took a photo so I could try to find one in the US. I am told that the company does do business here. We really enjoyed the large furnished patio, adorned with lots of greenery, for coffee in the morning and drinks in the afternoons. Both Giuseppina and Marco were available to us at a moment's notice for advice on restaurants and train travel to lovely towns nearby. They could not have been more gracious. We recommend this property without hesitation.
