Laura

Hi, I’m Laura!

I’m twenty-four years old and I’m an architecture student in my final year. I’m very active and I have plenty of friends who I often go out with for an aperitif or after-dinner drink! I was born and brought up in Bologna and I now live in a flat near the university.
The area is very convenient, there’s everything you need close to home: the bar at the end of the street, the baker’s and a traditional general store just around the corner; an organic greengrocer’s will soon be opening on a side street!
The open space flat has large exposed white beams; the spacious, light and airy combined living room and kitchen forms the focal point of the home. This room leads to the covered terrace overlooking the city where guests can have breakfast.

I have always lived here, first with my parents but when I started university they moved into our house in the hills.


At last I was able to store away the sofa cover with lilac flowers my mother loved so much and replace her collection of wooden animals with my teapots.


It gives me great satisfaction when guests staying here leave me cute little notes about my collection or send me photos they took while they were using one of my teapots for their breakfast in the kitchen!

That’s because, during the holidays I go and stay with my parents outside the city to get some fresh air and I leave the flat to visiting tourists. I spend hours choosing the right guest. I read their profiles, look at their photos and then I let my instinct guide me. Up until now it has always been right!

Including that time when amongst the booking requests there was a certain Salvatore, a thirty-year-old Sicilian looking for a place to spend New Year’s Eve.
“I need to start the New Year far away from everything, in a city that inspires me”, he wrote in his e-mail. That was our first contact and we have been in touch ever since! He still lives in Trapani and is one of the city’s most famous chefs.
I don’t like cooking, it seems a waste of time to me!
Even so I wanted to devote plenty of space to the kitchen to offer my guests a comfortable and practical area.
I prefer to devote my time to my two great passions: films and horses!
The cinema is just a ten-minute walk and on the way back you can stop off at the typical restaurant nearby which has been run for years by the legendary Mario. His tagliatelle al ragù are second to none! I recommend them to all those who are lazy when it comes to cooking like me!

“Laura’s flat is wonderful! I loved the little terrace near the kitchen, which looks out over the whole of Bologna. The light entering reflects on the lacquer finish surfaces and gives everything a magical feel! It was like having lunch on the top floor of one of those luxurious restaurants!”

Natascia IT - Gubbio

“We stayed at Laura’s two weeks ago, a beautiful open space attic in a quiet area of the city centre, ideal for those who want to explore the city on foot. The kitchen is modern and spacious and is a pleasure to prepare dinner in. I spent hours at the stove!”

Silvia SP - Cordoba

“At last I took advantage of the holidays to spend three days in this wonderful city! Laura’s home is very comfortable, is located right in the centre and is close to all public transport. She is very kind and willing to help, she prepared us a personalised itinerary so we could visit the whole of Bologna in a couple of days!”

“I stayed here a month ago. The flat is beautiful, well furnished, clean and equipped with Wi-Fi.
It is right in the centre and is close to everything you need. I recommend it to couples or families who want to visit Bologna on foot. Laura even lent me her bicycle to get around the city on!”
