About

Piccolo Rifugio Bed & Breakfast - Bologna

Piccolo Rifugio Bed & Breakfast is a small, no-fuss base in Bologna's San Donato district. The name translates to 'little refuge', and that's the vibe: simple, practical accommodation close to everyday local life.

The B&B sits roughly 5 minutes' walk from Parrocchia di San Domenico Savio, a 20-minute walk from the National Art Gallery of Bologna, and about 25 minutes on foot from the Fountain of Neptune. Rooms come with air conditioning, a coffee machine, and a shower.

This is a straightforward, honest place to stay - no grand lobby or extra frills, but a clean, comfortable room and a location that puts you within reach of both neighbourhood charm and the city's cultural highlights.
