Spacious apartment in 16th-century
In the historic heart of Bologna, this extraordinary apartment occupies the top floor of a prestigious Renaissance palazzo, originally designed in the 16th century by Il Vignola with Sebastiano Serlio. Spanning over 440 sqm on two levels, the residence blends period charm with refined contemporary design. Accessible by lift, it offers spacious interiors, elegant finishes, and a rare 10-sqm private terrace – the only one in the building – ideal for outdoor dining with views of Bologna’s rooftops. A cellar and the option of covered parking complete its features. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, once home to a literary academy, with a monumental façade inscribed in Latin and Hebrew and interiors preserving coffered ceilings, friezes, and original decorations. The apartment’s first level includes a grand hall, an eat-in kitchen, a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, and terrace access. The newly restored upper floor offers a living area, second kitchen, study, fitness area with a bathtub, laundry room, and wardrobe space.
