Villa Benni B&B - Historical 1925 villa with garden and home-cooked breakfast, 2 km from Piazza Maggiore

Facilities & Grounds

Villa Benni B&B occupies a neo-classical villa built in 1925, surrounded by a garden with original architecture and an underground stable. The property offers free on-site private parking, rare in central Bologna, and a shared lounge area for guests. Meeting and banquet facilities are available for small events, and the villa has been used as a film location.

Rooms & Suites

Some rooms include fireplaces and balconies with garden views, while all accommodations have high ceilings and original neo-classical decoration. Each room offers a work desk, wardrobe, and free toiletries, with bathrooms featuring either a bathtub or a shower. The antique furnishings are distinct from modern hotel chains and reflect the villa's history.

Breakfast & Dining

A buffet breakfast is served in a large dining room with Italian specialties including fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese, fruits, and juice. Homemade cakes and omelettes are prepared each morning, with generous portions noted by guests. The breakfast is included in the room rate and uses home-cooked recipes not commonly found in hotels.

Location & Surroundings

Villa Benni B&B lies 2 km from Piazza Maggiore and the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, both reachable under the protection of Bologna's porticos. Bologna Centrale station is 3 km away, and Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is 8 km from the property. The quiet residential street offers a peaceful environment after a day in the city center.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

Family rooms and cots are available for children, and the garden provides a safe space for kids to play. The villa's spacious rooms can accommodate families, and the private parking eliminates the need to find street parking. Children can enjoy the shared lounge and garden while parents relax nearby.
