We stayed here overnight post-cruise. Location is great! Lamberto replied timely to my emails days…read moreprior to checking in. There are 3 steps before reaching the building's small elevator. Only 2 adults and 1 suitcase will fit in it. Reception is on the 4th floor. Very impressed by the security of the hotel. It provided all the toiletries and amenities we needed for a quick stay. The slippers were a nice touch. Wifi was fast and steady. They have an old style hair dryer that takes longer to dry hair so if you're hair-conscious, you might want to bring your own trusty hair dryer. Breakfast nook was quaint and charming. No cooked hot food but offered delicious prosciutto, salami and brie cheeses plus the usual croissant, toast, jam variety. We use 110v on all our gadgets so we needed an adapter. Don't worry- for 10 euro deposit, they will lend u an adaptor as well as lock and key for the room safe. Very quiet at night. There's a souvenir kiosk right outside the hotel and a gondola service steps away. English tv channels was a plus ! We loved our stay and highly recommend this boutique hotel! Thank you Lamberto for your friendly service! Tip: wake up early and walk and enjoy the stillness of gorgeous Venice before the crowds come.

I was so skeptic because of the price as I paid more than double in the previous hotel and it was…read morebad. They are very welcoming the rooms are big and clean the heater works great and the bathroom have space and free breakfast I can't complain plus it is convenient for everything. Definitely will suggest this place but there is a funky smell when you come in on the first floor.

Cyndy's Bottom Line: A great location to take in all the tourist attractions!…read more Our stay at the Corte Grimani was excellent. We had lots of room to include a kitchen and dining room area. You can have a party! There is an extra charge if you use the kitchen but not for me! The staff was very helpful especially with setting up our water taxi to the airport.

Casa Bertagni is a villa/mansion turned into a guest house. It is run by an Italian couple. It's…read morelike a luxurious bed and breakfast. It is located in a quiet part of the city but is within an easy walking distance from the main square, Piazza Maggiore. While I don't think it's in a bad neighborhood, the front gate is always locked and the hallway doors are also lock around the clock. The decor is eclectic (or even funky). See my photos. You will be the judge. It's an old building but is clean and well maintained. Our room was clean and spacious. Lots of storing space and a high ceiling. The AC worked great, too. The breakfast was one of the highlights. Both the quality and the selection are excellent. The photos speak for themselves. If I go back to Bologna, I will definitely stay here. I highly recommend Casa Bertagni to anyone! ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" to let me know.

My wife and I usually stay in apartments utilizing multiple services for our reservations. Casa Bertagni showed me what I was missing. Our room was large, with an amazingly comfortable bed, and easy to regulate heat/AC. The bathroom had a double head rain shower and the nicest, thick towels. Viscount Guido, an architect by trade and nature, is Philippe Starck, Kelly Wearstler, Marcel Wanders, Timothy Corrigan etc. wrapped up in one package, His designs at Casa Bertagni are whimsical and beautiful. There was so much to look at, and travelers feel enveloped in luxury. The staff is kind, friendly, warm and ridiculously accommodating. This has to be the very best place to stay in Bologna. I would like to clone Casa Bertagni.

Andrea / Massimo / Olga, thank you for the hospitality! I appreciate it greatly that you offered to…read morehelp pick me up and drop me off at my Airbnb (which I learned was not at the greatest part of town). I had a great day exploring Bologna. From the food tours (Parmigiano-Reggiano, prosciutto, balsamic vinegar, and all of that wine pairings!) who knew that bad mix vinegar was delicious on vanilla ice cream?! The day ended with a 6 course meal in Modena. The restaurant and scenery was beautiful. The food was of course delicious, you can never have too much pasta. You'll get treated like family here! Andrea and Massimo were always helpful, offering to take pictures and checking to see if we needed anything. See attached pics for a preview of what the day was like! Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic tour. Totally worth the money. The two of us were picked up early at our hotel, we then…read morepicked up one other couple and were off for a day of food and wine. Started at Prosciuttificio Nini Gianfranco which was as small operation but cranked out a ton of prosciutto hams. We saw the entire production and tasted some various pieces with the owner. Then went to Parmigiano Reggiano in Modena and saw how they make the giant wheels of Parmesan. Also had an opportunity buy a wedge at a fantastic price. Then went to Azienda Agricola Romano Boni where they make some of the finest aged balsamic vinegar in all of Italy. Really nice guy running the place. Then went to Chiarli 1860 winery and saw the operation and tasted various wines including an amazing Lambrusco. Finished with a long lunch with several courses at La Ca' Bianca in Modena. Went upstairs to meet the dream team of ladies making all the various pastas and tortellini. Then a ride in the early evening back to our hotel. Took a ton of pictures, ate all kinds of food and wine and had a great day. Our guide Andrea and driver Ricci were spectacular. Totally worth doing this tour.
