La Magnolia B&B of Bologna

selinay

It was a much more comfortable accommodation than I expected. The room was pretty clean and tidy, the apartment has a very cutie garden with a cutier doggie. Franca was so friendly and warm that I felt like I knew her before. I surely would prefer this property second time if I need to book somewhere in Bologna.

Thank you so very much to Franca and Sara, they were outstanding hosts! I had the most wonderful time staying at their beautiful B&B. They have a really heartwarming family and I felt very welcomed. Hope to be back soon!

We left La Magnolia with heavy hearts today. During our 9-day stay, Franca and her family became very dear to us. Franca is a wonderful host, always ready to meet the guests' wishes and available with advice and help. La Magnolia is conveniently located and, thanks to its secluded courtyard location, is absolutely quiet. The main train station is within a good half-hour's walk and offers opportunities for day trips, for example to Florence, Venice, Parma, Ravenna, Modena or Ferrara. Of course, one should also fully enjoy the beautiful Bologna. After just a 10-minute walk, you can already immerse yourself in the arcades of the old town. We parked the car in a traffic-calmed side street adjacent to La Magnolia during our stay. We had a very spacious 3-bed room, which with its own balcony (overlooking the beautiful garden with 100-year-old magnolias), shower room, air conditioning, comfortable beds, and even a kitchenette, left nothing to be desired in terms of comfort. Everything was very clean. We would recommend La Magnolia without hesitation.

Very convenient structure to reach the stadium on foot and the city center by bus in a few minutes, set in a beautiful garden with very kind and welcoming owners. Very clean double room with mineral water, juices, and biscuits kindly offered! Honestly, the room is a bit small but the bed is comfortable, price is average (euro 140.00 with an additional tourist tax of euro 3.00 per person). Good breakfast, but I would have put more things, only two cakes (one of which was half) and the cookies for all the guests in the structure were few. However, the homemade cakes are good and everything is very tidy. I recommend it.

The answer from the host:
Buonasera Francesca, la ringrazio per la recensione e mi fa davvero piacere siate state bene. Ci tengo a spiegarle che abbiamo messo due torte per 8 persone poiché ci dispiace sprecare il cibo e farne di più significa buttare qualcosa ogni giorno. Ci tengo anche a dirle che la torta a metà era stata sfornata il pomeriggio precedente, proprio per questo motivo cerchiamo di fare sempre qualcosa che possa finire nell’arco dei due giorni. La scorsa mattina sono avanzate comunque qualche fetta di ciambella e qualche pezzo di crostata. Inoltre per colazione si trova anche la frutta, il pane, integrale e semplice, burro e marmellate di diversi tipi, yogurt, muesli e cornflakes. Mi spiace vi sia sembrato poco. In ultimo, la camera in cui avete soggiornato è per una persona, non per due. Quando avete telefonato vi abbiamo spiegato che era l’unica rimasta e che con un letto ad una piazza e mezzo sareste potute stare in due stringendovi, vi siamo venute incontro vista la problematica della disponibilità di strutture in zona causa il concerto. Il prezzo di € 140,00 era un prezzo modificato sulla base del concerto e del fatto che foste in due. La camera in cui avete soggiornato ha generalmente un costo di € 60,00 (sempre più tassa di soggiorno che incassiamo noi ma versiamo al comune) A presto, Sara

cinzia

Quality/price ratio a little above average, but it was a special circumstance (Vasco's concert).

stayed from 06/12/2023 to 06/13/2023

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Cinzia, confermo che il prezzo era più elevato solo a causa del concerto. La camera in cui avete soggiornato ha normalmente un costo di € 85,00 A presto, Sara

gianni

The staff has satisfactorily met the needs of the occupants, always present and available. Highly recommended.

Stayed at La Magnolia B&B, I found the structure very pleasant and comfortable, spacious and clean, easy to reach. Franca has always been very helpful and kind. The breakfast was beyond my expectations. I would say that La Magnolia B&B deserves a full rating in all respects, also for the quality/price level, highly recommended.

I highly recommend Franca, her family, and La Magnolia B&B. We had a great time. Franca welcomed us with a smile and a lot of kindness and availability. The room was fantastic! The location very close to the center also allows for a nice walk. The breakfast… the homemade chocolate cake was wonderful. I will definitely turn to Franca for the next stay.

The La Magnolia B&B is a little piece of paradise. Located in a strategic place, close to the center, with a beautiful garden, it's a gem. We had a great time and highly recommend it to everyone. Very beautiful and spotlessly clean room, super breakfast. Franca, the owner, is a sweet and friendly person, her smile immediately wins you over. We especially liked it because it's a quiet place where you can relax and breathe a homely atmosphere. Excellent value for money. Perfect for everyone. Thanks to Franca and her beautiful family (including Margot).

La Magnolia B&B is a gem, as far as I'm concerned and for the needs I had it completely satisfied my expectations exceeding them. Cleanliness, order, hospitality, comfort, everything a traveler needs is found in this B&B which with its internal garden and breakfast room with large windows will give you moments of relaxation and peace. Highly recommended.

The stay at La Magnolia B&B was very positive and will certainly be the place I will return to next time I come to Bologna. The room is very comfortable, very clean and quiet even though the building is located in the city center and a 10-minute walk from the historic center. A very positive note to Mrs. Franca, the soul of this B&B, always available and very kind.

Perfect reception beyond all our expectations. The owner did much more than we expected, reserving the veranda for breakfasts and dinners (due to the closure at 6 pm of all catering activities), even preparing a dinner for 4 people personally. The house is inside a beautiful hidden garden-courtyard, in the nice season it must be beautiful to enjoy. Comfortable and clean rooms.

Mrs. Franca, the one who managed La Magnolia B&B on the day of my stay, was of exemplary politeness and availability.

A green corner in the midst of buildings, where you can have breakfast with the delightful cakes of Mrs. Franca in a welcoming and familiar environment. Mrs. Franca's availability goes well beyond the normal courtesy one would expect. We will definitely return to La Magnolia B&B on our future trips to Bologna. Highly recommended without hesitation.

I stayed here with my boyfriend to visit Bologna and found many strengths in this B&B. Starting from the structure, it has a very well-kept garden, functional, clean, and well-furnished rooms, and you can also have a good breakfast in the room. The location is also excellent, an area that offers many useful services: a short walk from the B&B there is the bus stop that takes you to the city, or if you prefer, you can easily reach the historic center on foot (10/15 minutes). Finally, the owner is very kind and always very helpful with her clients.

To Mrs. Franca who manages La Magnolia B&B, we can only say thank you so much for the welcome in your "small" hospitable world. It will be our pleasure to be your guests again if we were to come back to this enchanting Bologna, perhaps with our daughters. Likewise, it will be to recommend La Magnolia B&B to friends and acquaintances. A hug.

The structure is really very beautiful, well-kept, and comfortable. In a very quiet location, but at the same time very close to the city center (a quarter of an hour on foot, five minutes by bus). The breakfast is plentiful, and Franca manages everything impeccably. Without a doubt the best B&B in Bologna (and beyond!). I recommend it to everyone and would continue to do so!

The B&B is located on the second floor in a building that is parallel to the main street. The rooms are part of the owner's apartment with good lighting and air conditioning. The owner is extremely helpful and sociable without being intrusive. The location is convenient to the engineering faculty and a 15-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. In the area, there are many trattorias and restaurants to eat at and it is also very convenient to the bus stop.

I recommend this La Magnolia B&B to everyone, besides being beautiful and welcoming, it's also very clean and provides a hotel-like service. In the room you can find everything you need, in my room there was a fridge stocked with water, milk, fruit juice, little jams, and butter, also I found crackers and cookies. This is apart from the breakfast that offers everything, especially delicious cakes prepared by Mrs. Franca every morning, who is very kind and nice. I always found the room very well heated and spotlessly clean, not to mention the lovely little garden outside. My warmest compliments to the managers of the structure. If you're passing through Bologna, go there!
