Leva's Lamp Studio

This stylish studio ticks all our boxes. Not only does it offer sleek living spaces and 21st-century comforts like rainfall showers and Nespresso machines, but the location is absolutely incredible. You're just around the corner from Bologna's main square, Piazza Maggiore, and a five-minute stroll from the Two Towers. There's a wealth of restaurants, museums, shops and bars all within walking distance – those wanting to be in the heart of the action couldn't ask for a better spot to call home.

After a long day of exploring, retreat to this cosy studio flat for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Wooden furniture, leafy wallpaper and glossy finishings all work together to create a soothing spot to kick off your shoes. Although compact, the kitchenette is ideal for rustling up light bites like bruschetta – for hearty dinners, try one of the delicious eateries on your doorstep. Later, open a bottle of Pignoletto – the area's famous sparkling wine – and sprawl out on the cushy sofa for a refreshing nightcap before climbing into the comfortable bed for some well-deserved shut-eye.
