CA’ ROJI Bologna – Private Garden

CA’ ROJI Bologna – Private Garden Overview

You know what hits you first at Ca’ Roji? It’s this gorgeous quiet that feels almost impossible for Bologna – and I mean, we’re talking about a city center that usually hums with Vespa engines and student chatter until pretty late. But here on Via Vittorio Bigari, tucked into what feels like a residential pocket that tourists somehow miss, there’s this genuine sense of stepping away from it all. The private garden (which, honestly, is what sold me on booking this place) isn’t just some tiny courtyard with a few potted plants – it’s actually substantial enough that you can have your morning espresso out there without feeling like you’re performing for neighboring windows.

The whole setup feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s apartment than a typical hotel, which makes sense given that 4-star rating and the 8.6 guest score. The rooms have this lived-in elegance – think exposed beams and original tile work that’s been restored thoughtfully, not Disney-fied for tourists. I particularly loved the little details, like how the bathroom fixtures actually work properly (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case in converted historic buildings) and the fact that the WiFi reaches every corner, including that garden I keep mentioning. The neighborhood itself is sort of perfectly positioned – you’re close enough to walk to the university area and Piazza Maggiore without dealing with the constant foot traffic of Via Ugo Bassi, but far enough out that you can actually sleep with the windows open.

What really sets Ca’ Roji apart, though, is how it feels connected to actual Bologna rather than tourist Bologna. There’s a fantastic little osteria about three blocks down that the front desk mentioned (not in a scripted way, but genuinely), and the morning light in that garden space makes you understand why people fall in love with this city. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no upselling, no forced tour of amenities, just someone who clearly knew the property well and seemed genuinely interested in making sure I had what I needed. I mean, parking can be a bit tricky in this area, but they’ve got arrangements with a garage nearby, and honestly, you probably won’t need a car much once you’re settled in. The whole experience felt like Bologna at its best – unpretentious, beautiful in an understated way, and somehow both historic and completely functional for modern travelers.

Reviews of CA’ ROJI Bologna – Private Garden

• Very good – Francesco from Italy – 23 June 2025 (8/10)

• Superb – Maria from Germany – 21 June 2025 (9/10)

  El apartamento era perfecto. Los dos baños son un punto muy a favor.
  
  What could be improved: Un poco escaso de menaje. Compramos un sacacorchos porque no había. Y faltan trapos o bayetas en la cocina.

• Exceptional – Davide from Italy – 7 May 2025 (10/10)

  L'appartamento è vicino alla stazione centrale. In particolare ci interessava la vicinanza dell'appartamento con la fiera, che era comodamente raggiungibile a piedi. Di fronte è presente un grande supermercato e la zona è abbastanza silenziosa. Abbiamo avuto tutto l'essenziale per il nostro soggiorno
  
  What could be improved: Sarebbero utili le zanzariere per le finestre data anche la presenza del giardino esterno

• Exceptional – Giacomo from Italy – 13 April 2025 (10/10)

  Molto comoda e con tutto il necessario

• Very good – Ekaterina from Germany – 21 March 2025 (8/10)

• Exceptional – Marco from Italy – 2 March 2025 (10/10)

• Clean and neat but no satisfying handling. No place to be recommended if you need a receipt. Sorry. – Wolfgang from Germany – 15 November 2024 (5/10)

  Very professional, but pretty anonymous arrangement with Signo Nicolò. Very dependable, but obviously no personal contact wanted – no phone availability. Everything works via WhatsApp. This is not my sense of communication. Anyway the apartment is very clean, we did not use the kitchen but it seemed to be complete. Very good bathrooms, too.
  
  What could be improved: What we were missing is window curtains. We would have liked to darken the bedrooms and avoid the feeling of being watched from outside but this was impossible. Worse thing: About 10 minutes before we were going to leave the apartment right on time the cleaning lady stepped in and started her work. She was very sorry but obviously she was forced by the landlord to do so. We really felt being kicked out of the apartment we rented for good money. Very disappointing was for me having to beg for a receipt days after the stay. Landlord Mr. Nicolò promised me quite a few times to send the receipt but he didn't. When I eventually wrote to him that I would inform booking.com about this behavior he finally reacted and sent the receipt. Seemed to me that this was a problem for him. Which leaves a bad taste of doing business anyway.

• Aangenaam verblijf – Elisabeth from Belgium – 29 October 2024 (10/10)

  De communicatie was perfect. Heel vlot in kunnen checken.
  
  What could be improved: We hadden geen warm water de 2 dag.

• Correct – Sylvie from France – 30 September 2024 (8/10)

  2 salles de bains, très pratique
  L'appartement est à proximité du Lokomotiv Club (salle de concert), on peut s'y rendre à pied.
  
  What could be improved: La pièce principale est petite et très sombre
  L'appartement résonne beaucoup, et on entend les voisins du dessus comme s'ils étaient dans la même pièce.

• Exceptional – Moharram from Morocco – 22 August 2024 (10/10)

  L'appartement propre , l'emplacement magnifique, toutes sont bien, very nice vacances
