Apartment | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Sleeps 9 3 Double 1 Sofa/Convertible double 1 Sofa/Convertible single This elegant apartment (170 sq.mt) is on the 2nd floor, with elevator, in Palazzo Banchi. Located in the very heart of Bologna city centre, on the eastern side of Piazza Maggiore, it is placed right beside San Petronio Basilica and is named after the Medieval bank shops. The building dates back to 1412, whist the façade and the 'portico' were finished in 1568; in 2010 Palazzo Banchi was fully renovated, and it has been newly furnished in August 2014. The focal point of the apartment are the precious Neo-classical frescoes embellishing both the day area and the master bedroom. The original flooring (Venetian terrazzo, ‘seminato’) has been maintained and polished, whilst in the bedrooms there is oak parquet. The many windows, preserving the XIX-century façade, offer breathtaking views of Piazza Maggiore. The apartment has high-end finishes, such as air conditioning, independent heating, and sound-proofed, insulated windows and doors. The furniture is completed by some refined pieces of modern art and lithographs of famous Italian artists, that bestow an elegant, refined atmosphere to the ambience. Immediately after the hall way there is the reception room: this is a precious room, with a marvelous trompe-l’œil painting decorating the ceilings, where the guests can relax around a 10-seater dining table. The separate kitchen, fully equipped and with both electric oven and dishwasher, has been custom-made. The proper living room, also showcasing impressive frescoed ceilings, offers two poufs and a big double sofa bed, located across from the flat screen TV. Two French windows (4 meter high) open out onto the terrace, with views of Piazza Maggiore. The night area is composed of three bedrooms, a laundry and two bathrooms. The big master bedroom is furnished with a double bed (made of two single beds), a sofa and a three-door closet; it also features finely decorated flooring and marvelous frescoed ceilings in red, blue and golden hues. A small marble staircase starts from the bedroom and leads to the terrace, which offers ample views of Piazza Maggiore. The second bedroom – furnished with a double bed (made of two single beds), a desk and a wardrobe- opens onto the terrace, too, and comes complete with an ensuite bathroom with tub.
