Indipendenza Luxury Apartments Overview
You know what struck me first about Indipendenza Luxury Apartments? The name actually fits – and that’s honestly rare in Bologna where half the “luxury” places are just regular hotels with fancy soap. This place sits right on Via dell’Indipendenza, which sounds touristy but it’s actually perfect because you’re literally a five-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore without being stuck in the chaos of the historic center.
The apartments themselves feel like someone’s well-off Italian aunt decided to rent out her extra places. I mean that in the best way possible – there’s this lived-in elegance that you don’t get in cookie-cutter hotels. The kitchens are actually functional (shocking, I know), with real appliances and enough space to make more than instant coffee. My apartment had these gorgeous high ceilings and original tile work that probably dates back decades, but the WiFi was solid and the shower had proper water pressure. The staff treats you more like a temporary resident than a tourist, which I loved – they’ll give you the real scoop on where to grab groceries or which trattoria is worth the wait.
Here’s what really sold me on the place: you can walk to Due Torri in about eight minutes, hit the university area just as quickly, and – this is key – you’re close enough to the train station that dragging luggage isn’t a nightmare. The street can get a bit busy during the day since it’s a main thoroughfare, but honestly the windows are solid and it quiets down nicely at night. Parking is… well, it’s Bologna, so forget about driving anyway. The 9 rating makes sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be some flashy international chain, it just does everything really well. The kind of place where you actually feel comfortable cooking breakfast instead of hunting for overpriced hotel coffee, and where you might catch yourself thinking “I could live here” instead of just “I’m staying here.”

Reviews of Indipendenza Luxury Apartments
I would choose it again – Nikos from Greece – 10 July 2025 (10/10)
Location – location – location. You are amazingly centrally located which is an extreme asset of the property.
What could be improved: The property is difficult to accomodate 4 adults. Its great however for a couple or couple with kids.A great appartment – Sami from Australia – 23 June 2025 (9/10)
The appartment was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Location is great, 15 minutes to the train station and close to the historical center of Bologna. There was a technical glitch in enterying the appartment but it was properly addressed. The appartment was very quiet.
What could be improved: NothingGreat value and service from the owners.very clean property ina great location – Stephen from United Kingdom – 9 June 2025 (9/10)
Location, facilities, cleanliness
What could be improved: The terrace is a little hard to get to.The location is absolutely perfect. – Semra from Turkey – 4 June 2025 (10/10)
We had a wonderful 2-night stay at this apartment in Bologna. The location is absolutely perfect – right in the heart of the city, on a lively shopping street, yet incredibly quiet and peaceful inside. The host was very responsive and helpful, answering all our questions promptly. The room was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. We especially appreciated the little treats provided in the room – such a thoughtful touch! The bed was also very cozy. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely recommend it.
What could be improved: nothingA very comfortable, well-appointed unit. Location was great with sites, shops and restaurants abound – Dennis from Canada – 3 June 2025 (9/10)
The location was great, right in the middle of the centro storico and all sites and shops.
What could be improved: Parking was a challenge. It would have helped if the site described the parking as underground.Exceptional – Matei from Romania – 27 May 2025 (10/10)
Excellent location to start exploring the city. Very quiet during the night.
Really appreciated the communication with the host and the possibility to leave our luggage after check out! I would definitely recommend this property!Accommodation in Bolognia is generally expensive for what it offers. I will try hotel next time – Nadja from North Macedonia – 19 May 2025 (8/10)
Location is perfect. There is a nice small lift, so you do not need to drag your suitcases upstairs. Very very clean. Also the bathroom was very spacious in our apartment. The regular bed is comfortable. Our room could accommodate max 2 persons, unfortunately booking is offering it for 3😬
What could be improved: The room is very small, definitely not suitable for 3 persons. The "sofa bed" is very bad and falls apart during sleep, therefore should not be recommended for sleeping at all.Exceptional – Sanja from North Macedonia – 9 May 2025 (10/10)
Very good location, excellent apartment Very quiet although it's in the busy area.
Exceptional – Anuwat from Thailand – 9 May 2025 (10/10)
Very elegant and clean include all the facilities. The staff ready to response.
Perfect place to have a good time and explore Bologna. Host is super responsive and helpful – Julian from Switzerland – 1 May 2025 (10/10)
Super central, yet quiet and very spacious and clean
What could be improved: Nothing
