“Marconi Inn sits right in Bologna's historic heart, mere steps from Piazza Maggiore; the location alone makes it a worthwhile choice. I noted the rooms, while simply furnished, offer a welcome respite, and select accommodations include terraces with city views. It's a small operation, and from what I gather, you can expect a personal touch.”
