Impeccable contemporary design meets 17th-century palazzo grandeur at this loft-style apartment set right in the beating heart of Bologna's historical centre. A former Renaissance palace left to ruin –⁠ a team of award-winning architects has expertly reimagined the building to create a portfolio of sleek city boltholes united by high-spec finishes, statement lighting, and one-off artwork. There's plenty of space to spill out and make yourself at home inside this apartment. Set out over three floors, each bedroom has a separate bathroom, and the two dining areas could easily double as a quiet desk space if you plan to work while in the city. When thoughts turn to food, get together in the sociable kitchen and dining area – with views of the oh-so-Italian terracotta facades outside, it's an atmospheric place to enjoy a lazy breakfast. Or head out instead – there are countless cafes to grab colazione (think buttery crostata tarts and proper cappuccinos) and, if it's later in the day, authentic trattorias for plates of the city's beloved ragù. Then head for the sights of Fontana del Nettuni and the main square, Piazza Maggiore – you'll be there in eight minutes flat.
