4 Gatti is the guesthouse I opened restoring the old house of my grandparents. Built in 1920 it’s a 3 floor liberty style villa surrounded by a garden, located in one of the most beautiful residential areas in Bologna, via Audinot, quiet and green, very close to the center. At the first and second floors are located the guest’s rooms, furnished with the original floors made in colorful clinker tiles, restored original furniture whenever possible and wood-beamed ceiling on the second floor. At the ground floor there are the common areas, the kitchen where breakfast is prepared, the dining room, and a big living room where you can relax listening to our vinyl collection, reading a book, or playing the piano, the guitar and the table games we provide. During the warm season the spotlight goes to the garden where you can relax and eat under the kaki tree, have a nap in the hammock or have a table tennis match. Please Note: -Self check-in (read the instructions) -Beds can be singles or we can tie them together to form a double on request. -No mosquito net -Parking must be booked (10€/day extra) -No cats reside here, "4 Gatti" simply derives from the Italian expression "we are 4 cats," referring to a small group of people. The commodity of the kitchen and the presence of big and beautiful common spaces guarantees amazing longer stays, where you can enjoy the company of other guests, as well as pleasant moments of relax and privacy between your visit to the city and the surroundings. Bologna is located in a central position, great for daily visits to the close cities of Florence, Venice, Ravenna, Ferrara, Modena, San Marino and many others.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Property information

4 Gatti is the guesthouse I opened restoring the old house of my grandparents. Built in 1920 it’s a 3 floor villa surrounded by a garden, located in one of the most beautiful residential areas in Bologna, via Audinot, quiet and green, very close to the center. The house is big, the rooms are located at the first and second floor, furnished with the restored original forniture of the house with a mix of newer and more practical furniture. Every room has air conditioning, a heat pump and private bathroom, some inside the room and some others just outside. At the ground floor there are the common areas, the kitchen, the dining room, and a big living room with pianoforte, tv, books, games and a good audio system with vinyls. During the good season it's possible to eat in the garden under the kaki tree, have a nap in the hammock or have a table tennis match. The kitchen is available if you want to warm up something to eat or drink and have to be kept tidy. Breakfast is served there between 8 and 10am. Please Note: Rooms are located at the first and second floor without an elevator. We recently renovated and from March 2024 all rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning and a photovoltaic system to bring you cleaner energy. The name 4 Gatti means "four cats" from the saying "we are 4 cats" meaning we are a small group of people. Sadly you'll not find cats in the house, but sometimes some wonders around in the garden.

Neighbourhood information

Our street is a beautiful small tree-lined street full of old villas in liberty style with gardens. Birds are cirping and the city traffic seems far. We are located in the suburb of porta saragozza, quiet and close to the center, just 15 minutes of walk, comfortably reachable from the train station with bus 33.
