About Francioni Palace

Four rooms occupy a restored palace on Via Carlo Francioni, a quiet residential address in Bologna's university quarter roughly ten minutes on foot from Piazza Maggiore. The guesthouse format suits slow travellers and academics who prefer self-contained space over hotel formality.

Each room comes with a full kitchen — oven, stovetop, refrigerator, coffee machine — plus a dining area, making it practical for longer stays. A shared lounge, washing machine, and drying rack round out the apartment-style setup. Tile and marble floors run throughout, and an inner courtyard view is available in select rooms.

Check-in opens at 14:30 and is handled contactlessly via key access. Baggage storage accommodates early arrivals. Dry cleaning and ironing services are available on request.
