Historic Family Residences

Casa Isolani offers apartments in two 15th-century palazzos near Piazza Maggiore and Via Santo Stefano. The Piazza Santo Stefano apartment on the top floor has exposed wooden beams and earthenware tiles. Rooms include the Altana with 360-degree city views, Santo Stefano with separate sleeping areas, and Mezzo with skylights. All feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee makers, and free toiletries.

Common Area Refreshments

A shared space with tables and chairs provides coffee and tea throughout the day. The property operates as a bed and breakfast with self-catering apartments rather than traditional hotel dining facilities.

Central Bologna Location

Situated at 16 Via Santo Stefano and 1 Via D'Azeglio, the residences are 500 meters from Piazza Maggiore and the Two Towers. The Santo Stefano complex of Seven Churches is directly outside one entrance. The Quadrilatero market district is 500 meters away, while MAMbo museum is 1.5 kilometers distant.

Family Accommodation Options

The Neptune and San Petronio rooms can connect to form a suite with one double bedroom and one twin-bedded room, each with 5-square-meter bathrooms. The King Enzo room connects to the Podestà room creating a two-bedroom suite with double and twin beds, ideal for families of four.

Historical Building Features

The palazzo contains portraits of Pope Paul V and 17th-century Japanese ambassador Hasekura. The Mezzo room's wooden beams mirror the Gothic-Romanesque architecture of nearby Corte Isolani portico, known for its ceiling pierced by three arrows according to local legend.

“Casa Isolani Charms Rooms occupies a truly unique space in Bologna's historic center. From what I've gathered, it's more like staying in a beautifully maintained home belonging to one of the city's oldest families, right on Piazza Santo Stefano- the views from some rooms are simply breathtaking. Keep in mind that it operates more like a B&B than a full-service hotel, which, for many, only adds to its charm.”
