About
B&B Il Viaggio Bologna
B&B Il Viaggio Bologna sits on Via San Vitale, roughly a 15-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore and the city's main sights. It's a small, independent property where the staff—especially host Roberto—regularly earn praise for going beyond the usual. The atmosphere is more guesthouse than hotel, with a personal touch that comes through in everything from the breakfast spread to the local recommendations.
Rooms are modern and thoughtfully fitted, with kitchenettes, air conditioning, and soundproofing. The property also has private on-site parking, which is a genuine convenience in central Bologna, plus a paid airport shuttle if you'd rather not drive. Breakfast is served in-room, with pastries, fresh fruit, and good coffee—small details guests consistently mention in reviews.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 19:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Breakfast is simple, not a full buffet — While guests like the fresh pastries and fruit, it's a lighter in-room offering rather than a hot or extensive spread.
- Price point is higher for a B&B — At £277 per night, it's not a budget option, though the central location and amenities may justify it for many.
