About

B&B Selvarossa

B&B Selvarossa sits in Bologna's Savena district, about 4.5 km from the Civic Museum of the History of Bologna. The property makes a point of the little things: a welcome drink, a manual that explains how everything works, and reference cards left in the room. Guests consistently call out the attention to detail, from the handmade furniture to the fully equipped kitchen in the apartment.

The B&B is small in scale, with a garden, terrace and shared lounge. It operates on a self-service model for breakfast, which is set up in your room or apartment ready for the morning. The location is quiet but convenient, with shops, restaurants and a supermarket within a five-minute walk, and public transport links close by.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathroom in the standard double room — The Standard Shared Bathroom Double Room, as its name says, has a shared bathroom rather than a private one.
  • Small B&B, not a full-service hotel — There's no on-site restaurant or 24-hour front desk; breakfast is self-service and check-in has a window of 14:00 to 23:59.
  • No pets allowed — The policy is strictly no pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Some guests found the self-service breakfast arrangement less appealing — While many praise it, the self-service style isn't a cooked or served breakfast – it's a pre-stocked setup in your room or apartment.
