Vacation Rental Description
A former two-storey, very welcoming typical 1800's Bolognese rural house, Villa Genziana is located in the Calderara section of Bologna, only a few kilometers from the center of town. It benefits from good public transportation connections (suburban train at 300 mts – 8 minutes to the center!) and is extremely convenient to the airport and the fairground.
The villa can accommodate 23 guests as a whole in three totally independent units named after famous Italian composers – Vivaldi (6 guests), Donizetti (8 guests) and Rossini (9 guests) – and features a private parking and a pretty fenced yard with lawn and a barbecue for relaxation and child safety. In its back, open fields and farming land bordered by an old, local railroad are dotted with storage barns. The property as a whole underwent total renovation in 2007 and 2010 with particular attention paid to effective insulation, decoration, details, and functionality.
