At Casa Isolani Charms Rooms Santo Stefano, travelers describe a historic stay with standout rooftop and tower views, comfortable rooms, and helpful hosts, while noting access involves a small lift plus stairs and limited on site staffing.
The location is praised across reviews for easy walking to Bologna’s sights, shops, restaurants, and museums. Rooms are often quiet, with some spacious layouts and large, comfortable beds. Breakfast is typically provided at a nearby cafe; feedback ranges from excellent to rather sparse. Expect a characterful, self service style stay with memorable views and some stair climbing.

We fell in love with this place the second we walked in the door! View of San Stefano Church from our window. Beautiful furniture, great common area with a small patio to enjoy a glass of wine after a day traveling around. Beautiful bathroom too! Highly recommend!

Fantastisk beliggenhed i det historiske Bologna. Man skal være klar på, at hotellet er ubemandet, hvor man introduceres, får et sæt nøgler, og ellers må klare sig selv, hvor man dog altid kan ringe, ved tvivl spørgsmål. Ellers tip - top lejlighed/værelse, med stort fælleskøkken, og terrasse. Morgenmaden var dog var lidt skraben, på en cafe, 500 meter fra hotellet. Fint for mig. Birger fra Birkerød.

It is a unique but cool place to stay. Our room, top of tower had amazing 360 degree views of Bologna There are many stairs to climb so consider this when choosing. If stairs are not an issue then we highly recommend. Great location.

This was definitely a unique property. It is in a very old building, located right in the piazza, with lots of dining options. We stayed in the Triple Room, on the top floor. There was a loft with another bedroom, but we did not use it. The Views from this room were unbelievable of the Churches and the rooftops. One of the best hotel views I have ever had. Santo Stefano Room. So here's what you need to know: This is not a Full Service Hotel. It is called a B and B, not to be confused with an Air B and B. There is a common area with refrigerator, but you cannot cook here, per Italian law. Off of the common area, there are several rooms for rent. There is not a Front Desk. You need to let the host know your approximate arrival time the day before. When you are on your way to the hotel, let the host know this and he will meet you there. There is no place to store your luggage while you are waiting. Our host arrived about an hour after we arrived, so we grabbed a chair in the piazza and had some snacks. It is not really a good place to stay if you need handicap accessible. There is a small lift and some stairs to negotiate to get to the top floor. Perhaps there are some rooms on a lower floor. Our Host spoke English and was very helpful, showing us how to get into the building and restaurant recommendations. There is no one there when he leaves. He gave us his # and said to call if we needed anything. We did not need to call him. The room was quiet and had AC, which we did use.

En fait… l’hôtel est effectivement dans un palais ! L’emplacement est parfait, en plein centre, sur une place touristique (mais assez calme le soir). La déco est de bonne facture (bien meilleure que la plupart des hôtel italiens) Le confort est excellent. Je trouve juste dommage de n’avoir jamais croisé mes hôtes et que les seuls accès aient été obtenus à distance (de plus, le process était quelque peu fastidieux pour une arrivée tardive). Mais cela n’a absolument pas gâché la très bonne expérience et l’excellent séjour que j’ai passé. A recommander sans hésiter (attention, malgré l’ascenseur, il y a quand même quelques marches à monter pour les personnes les moins mobiles)

Situated overlooking one of the most beautiful piazza in Bologna and close to any site in the old part of town. Piazza gets lively with bars and restaurants at night but you hear no sound in this beautiful apartment. Views from every room and the joy of old with modern amenities. Reminder there is a lift so you do not have to carry suitcases up the spiral stairs three floors. But not cars can enter the street so drop them at the corner and then go park. Great value.

The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff is excellent. You will have to climb stairs but it is well worth it. A terrific stay. Highly recommend.

Casa Isolani Santo Stefano is ideally situated for access to the museums, eating and transport facilities in Bologna. We spent ten days exploring Bologna and travelling out by train to nearby cities. We had two bedrooms and our own bathroom which were warm and comfortable. Breakfast was provided every morning at a nearby cafe - a different pastry each day. The shared kitchen allowed us to self-cater and a cleaner came in to keep everything nice. The manager kindly arranged airport transfers for us. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastisk beliggenhed i det historiske Bologna. Man skal være klar på, at hotellet er ubemandet, hvor man introduceres, får et sæt nøgler, og ellers må klare sig selv, hvor man dog altid kan ringe, ved tvivl spørgsmål. Ellers tip - top lejlighed/værelse, med stort fælleskøkken, og terrasse. Morgenmaden var dog var lidt skraben, på en cafe, 500 meter fra hotellet. Fint for mig. Birger fra Birkerød.

A wonderful place to stay in Bologna. Check-in was easy and my room was clean and very comfortable. The location was fantastic - easy access to public transportation and within walking distance of all the major attractions.

This was definitely a unique property. It is in a very old building, located right in the piazza, with lots of dining options. We stayed in the Triple Room, on the top floor. There was a loft with another bedroom, but we did not use it. The Views from this room were unbelievable of the Churches and the rooftops. One of the best hotel views I have ever had. Santo Stefano Room. So here's what you need to know: This is not a Full Service Hotel. It is called a B and B, not to be confused with an Air B and B. There is a common area with refrigerator, but you cannot cook here, per Italian law. Off of the common area, there are several rooms for rent. There is not a Front Desk. You need to let the host know your approximate arrival time the day before. When you are on your way to the hotel, let the host know this and he will meet you there. There is no place to store your luggage while you are waiting. Our host arrived about an hour after we arrived, so we grabbed a chair in the piazza and had some snacks. It is not really a good place to stay if you need handicap accessible. There is a small lift and some stairs to negotiate to get to the top floor. Perhaps there are some rooms on a lower floor. Our Host spoke English and was very helpful, showing us how to get into the building and restaurant recommendations. There is no one there when he leaves. He gave us his # and said to call if we needed anything. We did not need to call him. The room was quiet and had AC, which we did use.

Situated overlooking one of the most beautiful piazza in Bologna and close to any site in the old part of town. Piazza gets lively with bars and restaurants at night but you hear no sound in this beautiful apartment. Views from every room and the joy of old with modern amenities. Reminder there is a lift so you do not have to carry suitcases up the spiral stairs three floors. But not cars can enter the street so drop them at the corner and then go park. Great value.

Centrally located with many options for shopping, museums, historical churches and dining within walking distance . Eduardo was a great host attentive to needs. Only drawback was the stairs up after the elevator which was tough with our luggage after our trip but we managed.

Fantastisk beliggenhed i det historiske Bologna. Man skal være klar på, at hotellet er ubemandet, hvor man introduceres, får et sæt nøgler, og ellers må klare sig selv, hvor man dog altid kan ringe, ved tvivl spørgsmål. Ellers tip - top lejlighed/værelse, med stort fælleskøkken, og terrasse. Morgenmaden var dog var lidt skraben, på en cafe, 500 meter fra hotellet. Fint for mig. Birger fra Birkerød.

Casa Isolani Santo Stefano is ideally situated for access to the museums, eating and transport facilities in Bologna. We spent ten days exploring Bologna and travelling out by train to nearby cities. We had two bedrooms and our own bathroom which were warm and comfortable. Breakfast was provided every morning at a nearby cafe - a different pastry each day. The shared kitchen allowed us to self-cater and a cleaner came in to keep everything nice. The manager kindly arranged airport transfers for us. Thoroughly recommended.
