라 벨라 모데나 센트로

Great central location, easy to reach from Bologna airport (c. 1.5 hours from leaving airport via Bologna airport shuttle monorail, Bolognia-Modena train, then 20 minute walk - can obviously be faster if using some taxis). Close to most central Modena locations - 5 minutes' walk to bars, cafes and restaurants, 5/10 minutes to Duomo and the Gallerie Estense, 20 minutes to Modena train station where you can get connections to Bologna, Parma and so on, 25 minutes' walk to the Enzo Ferrari museum. Easy check-in using the instructions sent in advance via email. There is a small private car park (but we didn't use it). Lovely, well laid-out room, comfortable bed with a nice, firm mattress. Big TV and reliable wi-fi (which didn't drop once during our stay). Clean, modern bathroom with excellent shower and a good hairdryer. Room cleaned and tidied, and water and toiletries restocked, each day (as long as you have gone out by around 11 am). Property owner was on site every day from 8:30 to 10:30 am but also available via Whatsapp if anything was needed, and was very quick to respond. Very friendly and helpful and speaks very good English (much better than my Italian!). The road the property is on can get a little busy sometimes, but you can't hear it with the windows shut. If you expect to have the windows open to let a little cool air in, it would be worth taking some ear plugs. There are some small local shops dotted around to pick up snacks and drinks for the room if needed (we used Frutta E Verdure Italbangla which was 4 minutes' walk away). We loved La Bella Modena and will (hopefully) stay again next time we visit Modena.
