About
Tl Palazzo Fantuzzi
Tl Palazzo Fantuzzi is an apartment within a 15th-16th century palace on Via San Vitale, in the thick of Bologna's historic center. The building itself is part of the old city's guided tour, and the two towers are a short walk away. The 80 m² apartment includes an adjoining terrace, a dressing room overlooking the garden, and a full kitchen.
Guests get practical bonuses here: private parking nearby (a rarity in Bologna's center), a washing machine and dryer, and a warm welcome from the host, who has earned consistent praise for helpfulness and local tips. The building's inner garden and lofty ceilings give it a genuinely palatial feel, while the apartment's quiet rooms offer a restful base after sightseeing.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed condition and service — Rooms, service, and value score below the overall average, pointing to some inconsistency.
- Arrival can be tricky — Guests mention a 'treasure hunt' to find the three gates—navigating the palace entrance may take patience.
- Limited reception hours — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
