What people say
The lady who runs the place, Mrs. Tiziana, is extremely helpful, friendly and understanding. She goes well outside her 'contractual obligations' to solve one's problems.This was very much appreciated! The place is very central. One can reach most attractions on foot. Breakfast was very good by continental standards, with superb home cooking by Mrs. Tiziana herself. She even showed my wife how to cook the items. One can have personalized contact and advice prior to the trip and this proved to be. all reviews »
We stayed in Casa Ilaria for two nights last June. Allthough Bologna can be quite tricky by car, we were lucky to find it without delay. The location is superb, in an elegant building in a lively area in the centre, a lot of students (which we liked). Everything is within walking distance, and the streets around are very nice to wander around in. A lot of nice restaurants, cafe's and musea close. Tiziana, the host, is very forthcoming and gave us a lot of tips and it was always nice chatting wi.
The location is great! In the center of town, a few minutes of walking
will get you to all the sights. Our car's navigation took us right
to the front door. The proprietor was an excellent hostess. Helpful,
enthusiastic, and gave us good tips on sights and good dining. My son
and I were sorry we only were able to stay one night. Breakfast in the
morning was great- the food and the experience. We really enjoyed
talking to other guests from other parts of the U.S. and Italy. I would
highly recomm.
A delightful stay in beautiful quiet surroundings at the heart of a bustling old town. A friendly, personal atmosphere in a converted part of an old Italian residence.
Beautiful rooms facing a quiet courtyard hide the lively atmosphere in the narrow streets close to the old University. Quality restaurants abound to supplement the wonderful home cooking of breakfast at Casa Ilaria, around a convivial international start to the day.
Visiting Bologna? This is the place to stay.
We loved our stay at Casa Ilaria. Tiziana was a perfect host, who makes a great breakfast with delicious cakes. The rooms and the common area are spacious, nice and always very clean, the service was impeccable and the location right in the center of Bologna is perfect. We would recommend Casa Ilaria to anyone looking for a qualitative and relaxing city trip!!.
Everything was lovely. The room is very well decorated and comfortable. The lady in charge of the management was super friendly and nice. The breakfast was amazing, especially the home baked cakes. Strongly recommend it. I will not stay anywhere other than Casa Ilaria in Bologna from now on. Thank you!.
amazing place!!! we were very received by the owner, a super friendly Sicilian lady, who gave us advice to explore the city and on places to eat (best gelateria tip ever!). decoration was amazing, super cosy place, and yummy breakfast, with home made cake. it felt like home!
thank you!!!!.
Very friendly and helpful staff, encouraged to treat the appartment as a 'home from home'. Comfortable and quiet room, immaculately cleaned every day. Delicious home made cakes baked daily for breakfast. Central location easy to walk everywhere.
We only stayed a night but Titziana the host was fantastic. She really made our stay fantastic. She really took time to make sure we could maximise our experience of bologna in a short time. Her homemade cakes in the morning were fantastic.
Beautiful place, tastefully decorated, very nice room. All very
authentic and Italian. Homemade variety of cakes for breakfast, the
chocolate one is to die for (with a secret ingredient)! Birds singing
outside. Perfect quiet place!.
Location; very central however very quiet too; private parking; Tiziana is a very friendly and helpful landlord; phantastic home made cakes for breakfast; not a classic hotel style, rather a bed & breakfast;.

Тiziana, the owner is the most helpfull lady in the whole Bologna :) very polite, friendly and thank you one more Tiziana for the delicious cakes you have made for breakfast.
A very fine b&b, right in the middle of Bologna with a very kind and helpful staff.
A plus was the private parking facility.
We had a very pleasant stay.
We stayed here for 3 nights and both my husband and I loved it a lot. The two sons of the owner received us, very warm-hearted and helpful, grazie!!!.
Warm welcome from Tiziana. Lots of helpful information given. Only 5
minutes walk from centre. Clean and comfortable. Tasty cakes for
breakfast.
The hostess was excellent, very helpful and spent a good deal of time
answering all our questions. Breakfast was very good. Location was good.
The friendly host and atmosphere. Good beds. Interesting with gastronomy courses in the large kitchen and common areas.

We loved staying at Casailaria, very central location yet very silent, nice and clean rooms, hospitality.
Excellent place, wellcoming owner, sophisticated atmospehere, perfect breakfast (homemade cakes).
Fantastic location. Great value for the price. Lovely breakfast and great host.
The owner was very nice and helpful. The room had a very cute, vintage style.
Delightful reception, very easy going and close to town centre.
Friendly host with homely feel and gorgeous house.
Nothing.
A little more attention to some cleanliness detail (though these were very minor details), would result in a 100% score.
nothing! Remember to notify the host when you are coming, or arriving late, because she does not live there.
Nothing not to like.
There is nothing to dislike!.
nothing to dislike.
nothing. all was perfect!.
There were stairs in and out of the B&B which could be a problem if you have mobility issues, especially with heavy suit cases.
There wasn't anything to dislike.
Nothing to dislike.
Steepish stairs to some rooms which wouldn't be suitable for young
children or those with limited mobility. If booking ask for rooms on the
main floor of the B&B.
This was our first time to Europe and I had a hard time finding
the location with the directions. Thou this could be my
inexperience in Italy.
bathroom can be updated but it was perfectly clean and the room was good value so absolutely nothing to complain about.
Stayed 3 nights. On 2 nights there was quite a lot of plumbing noises from the room above. Late shower?.
It was terrible experience for us. This is not hotel this is only small pension or we can say that someone is renting her one of rooms. Dirty towels.
