I’m pretty sure I just got judged by the real owner of the garden 😼🌿

Meet one of our unofficial hosts here at Il Giardino nel Parco… a neighborhood kitty who has clearly decided this is her peaceful kingdom. She often lounges around like she’s welcoming guests—or politely questioning our presence, like: “Excuse me… weren’t you visiting me?”

And she’s not alone 🐾
She and her feline partner-in-crime make regular appearances, along with a chorus of birds, hidden nests, and the gentle rhythm of nature all around.

Our garden isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a little oasis where even the animals feel at home. And our guests? They fall in love with it just as quickly 💚

Come visit… but be warned: you might not be the one in charge here 😉

Sui colli di Bologna, con il vento in faccia e zero pensieri. 🌿
Come una corsa leggera, di quelle che sanno di libertà.

Strade che salgono piano, viste che ti fanno dire “ok, resto qui”, e quell’aria un po’ vintage, un po’ estate, un po’ canzone da cantare a squarciagola.

Bologna è anche questo: sentirsi leggeri, senza un perché.
E trovare il proprio ritmo, tra una salita e un sorriso.

🕯️ Bologna will haunt you… if you know where to look 🕯️

There’s a place in Bologna where time stopped.

She’s still there.

Sitting.

Watching.

Her name was Catherine of Bologna — a nun, a mystic… and something more.

When they opened her tomb years after her death, they expected dust.

Instead, they found her body intact.

Not buried again. Not hidden.

Displayed.

Seated on a throne.

Dressed. Preserved. Real.

And if you step inside the Sanctuary of Corpus Domini, you can stand just a few feet away from her.

Face to face.

👁️

But that’s only the surface.

Beneath Bologna, something older lingers.

🕸️ Walk into Santo Stefano — the “Seven Churches” — and you’re not just entering a place of worship. You’re stepping into a maze of shadows, built over centuries, where every corridor feels like it leads somewhere it shouldn’t.

🪦 Hidden crypts lie under the city, where the air is thick and still… as if it remembers.

🜏 Strange symbols are carved into walls and porticoes — meanings lost, or maybe deliberately forgotten.

📜 Stories speak of visions, miracles… and presences that never left.

This isn’t the Bologna you see in postcards.

This is the one you feel when it’s quiet.

When footsteps echo.

When you realize… you might not be alone.

⚠️ Some places aren’t meant to be explored.

Would you still go?

There’s a quiet magic in Bologna’s early mornings — a tradition that lives on in the spirit of those who rise before dawn to walk the empty streets, breathe in the silence, and start the day with intention.

As the city slowly awakens, the scent of fresh coffee drifts through the air, the porticoes echo softly with footsteps, and time seems to stretch just a little longer.

Staying somewhere that lets you experience this side of Bologna is something special — not just visiting the city, but truly feeling its rhythm.

Wake up early. Wander without a plan.

Ci sono città che si visitano.
E poi c’è Bologna, che si ascolta. 🎶

Forse è per questo che le canzoni di Samuele Bersani e Lucio Dalla qui sembrano avere un’eco diversa.
Tra i portici infiniti, i bar pieni di storie e quell’aria un po’ nostalgica che arriva la sera, le loro parole trovano sempre il posto giusto.

Bologna è fatta così: ti regala una frase, una melodia, un incontro.
E all’improvviso ti sembra di essere dentro una canzone.

A volte basta perdersi tra le sue strade, respirare un po’ di verde lontano dal rumore, e poi tornare in centro con una nuova colonna sonora in testa. 🌿

Certe città non fanno solo da sfondo.
Diventano parte della musica.
