About

Residenza San Martino

Residenza San Martino is a small guest house in the heart of Bologna, offering just ten rooms. Despite its compact size, it provides everything needed for a comfortable city break: free Wi-Fi in all areas, air conditioning, and a private parking garage. The location on Via Guglielmo Oberdan puts the lively Mercato delle Erbe within a 10-minute walk, and the rest of the historic center is easily explored on foot.

The property keeps things straightforward. Rooms are simple but clean and quiet, with tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries. Guests consistently mention the friendly staff and the convenience of being close to restaurants, bars, and major sights. A 10% discount at a local restaurant is a small perk that adds to the value.
