This renovated, non-smoking and modern yet historic hotel resides within a private court in a typical Bolognese residential area, a tranquil but convenient location with excellent transport links. The hotel name comes from the 17th century painter G.F. Barbieri who contributed, with his original and self-taught painting, to the important historical period of the Italian classical revival. It is not by chance that the hotel is in Via Luigi Serra as he was a painter too, behind the railway station where the streets commemorate distinguished artists. Housing elegant, comfortable and contemporary accommodation which is warmly decorated with personal touches, this characteristic hotel features a homely interior and cosy atmosphere designed to ensure that guests have a satisfying stay. There is also a traditional yet gourmet restaurant, free wireless internet access and a rooftop terrace so you can enjoy Bologna without having to leave the building.
