Appartamenti Borghetto San Donato 105 Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Appartamenti Borghetto San Donato 105 – I mean, apartment-style hotels can be hit or miss, and this one sits on a pretty busy stretch of Via San Donato. But honestly, this place surprised me in the best way possible. The building itself has this understated elegance that you don’t really notice from the street, and once you’re inside, it feels like you’ve discovered something locals have been keeping to themselves.

The apartments are actually really well thought out – not just thrown together like some places do it. I stayed in one of the larger units and was impressed by how they managed to make it feel homey without being cluttered. The kitchen setup is legit functional (I actually cooked a few meals there), and the bedrooms have this nice balance of being cozy without feeling cramped. What really got me was the attention to details that matter – like proper blackout curtains (seriously, European morning sun is no joke), decent water pressure, and wifi that actually works throughout the entire space. The furnishings lean modern but not in that cold, sterile way that makes you afraid to touch anything.

Location-wise, you’re in San Donato, which honestly took me a day or two to fully appreciate. It’s not the historic center that everyone talks about, but that’s kind of the point – you get a real feel for how Bologna actually works as a city. There’s a solid bus connection that gets you to Piazza Maggiore in about 20 minutes, and I found myself walking to the train station pretty regularly since it’s not that far. The neighborhood itself has this authentic residential vibe with some surprisingly good local spots nearby – there’s a bakery about three blocks down that does these incredible morning pastries, and the evening aperitivo scene around here is way more relaxed than the touristy areas. I mean, you’ll definitely want to explore the city center, but coming back to San Donato each evening felt like returning to actual Bologna rather than tourist Bologna, if that makes sense. The staff really knows their stuff too – they gave me restaurant recommendations that I never would have found on my own, and when I had a minor issue with the air conditioning, someone was there within an hour to sort it out. For a 4-star place with a 9 rating, it actually lives up to the hype, which is rarer than you’d think.

Reviews of Appartamenti Borghetto San Donato 105

  • Obliging host. apartment with everything we needed secure parking – Philippa from Australia – 14 July 2025 (8/10)

    The loft was fairly comfortable. Free parking was a bonus.

    What could be improved: Distance from heart of Bologna. However that is often the case when looking for accommodation with parking included

  • Nice place to stay – Ulas59 from Germany – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

    We enjoyed a lot to stay in this part. If I visit Bologna again then I'll book once again.
    There is safe parking place.

    What could be improved: Just small hints, the soap in the toilet was not good and there was no shampoo..

  • Everything what you need in a nice small place. – Eva from Hungary – 16 June 2025 (9/10)

    Well equipped apartment. Safe parking in the yard. Bus and shops are at the corner.

  • Great location, great accommodation, great host! – Maura_r from Poland – 12 February 2025 (10/10)

    Oh boy, I liked everything, starting with a private parking in front of the room! The apartment is nice and clean, and has everything you may need – well equipped kitchen, toiletries and washing machine. WIFI is working, bed linen and towels are clean and nice, welcome soft drinks in the fridge; what else you may need? Maybe a wine? Right, there's a wine store across the street! Bus stop to the city center is next to it, it only takes 20 mins to get to the heart of Bologna. The host, Michela, is extremely helpful and super nice, she'll look after you since before your arrival.

  • Exceptional – Samara from Switzerland – 6 January 2025 (10/10)

  • Hidden gem in Bologna, highly recommended – Ernst from Austria – 6 August 2024 (10/10)

    Quick and easy public transports nearby, easily reachable from city center / central train station. Own fenced car park if needed and generally a very nice and quiet location. Very nice and charming host, good information sequencing and always reachable by phone when needed. Highly recommended!

    What could be improved: Just a small personal discomfort so only speaking for myself and not the 3 others. I don't sleep well on a spring core mattress, therefore just a personal deduction for the comfort of the beds.
    (!) Please note that the 3 other guests had no problem and experienced it more comfortable.
