The Inner Terrace, Bologna
Central Bologna, Bologna, Italy
Why We Selected It
This is a home that has already been thought through. Renovated in 2021 to a high energy standard — underfloor heating, air conditioning, Class A3 — it sits on the top floor of a recently restored palazzo and unfolds across two levels. What sets it apart is the internal terrace: a private outdoor room walled from the street, where the light and the quiet of the roofline meet. The layout is genuinely three-bedroom rather than compromised, with the upper level holding two bedrooms and a second bathroom of its own, so the home works for a family or for hosting. Design furniture is included, there is a lift, and a cellar completes the property — a finished, low-running-cost home in the centre of Bologna.

Life Here

A central Bologna position in a recently restored palazzo, with a lift to the top floor and the city at the door.

Bologna's porticoes, Piazza Maggiore, the university quarter and the food markets are all within an easy walk.
The home
Three real bedrooms across two levels, a private internal terrace, and a 2021 renovation to Energy Class A3 — finished, furnished, and ready.

Bologna Centrale reaches Florence and Milan in around 35 minutes and Rome under two hours; Marconi airport is 20 minutes from the centre.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A finished 109 m² three-bedroom home on two levels, renovated in 2021 to Energy Class A3 with underfloor heating and air conditioning, furnished and with a lift — at €655,000. The internal terrace is the draw: a private outdoor space that a conventional balcony cannot match.
Ownership case
The three-bedroom layout and the high energy standard broaden both the resale and the rental market, while the included furniture and the 2021 renovation mean no further capital outlay. A lift and a cellar add practical value, and Bologna's year-round student and professional demand underpins a lettable investment case.
What makes it special
The internal terrace — a walled, private outdoor room off the main bedroom — paired with a genuine two-level, three-bedroom layout and a 2021 renovation to the top energy class.
Best suited for
A family or a host who wants a ready, furnished, energy-efficient city home with three real bedrooms and a private outdoor space, or an investor seeking a low-running-cost lettable property in central Bologna.
