Great B&B! The host was very helpful, assisted in transfers from airport, restaurant recommendations and transfer to train station. The breakfast presentation was a true welcome to Italy.

A really lovely place and the host Adriana is very kind and welcoming. There are only two rooms at Casa Retro, and therefore it’s quiet and possible to sleep at night. It’s about 25 minutes walk to the city walls and the neighborhood is quiet. So if you like to live in a local neighborhood and don’t mind a bit of walking to the city center this place is great.

Perfection! Adriana was a superb host, recommending a fantastic local restaurant, and even making reservations for us. She helped to arrange a taxi, who was a wonderful and kind gentleman. Her apartment was beautiful, clean, spacious and well decorated. The neighbourhood was safe and wonderful for walking. We were 2 couples travelling together so it was perfect to book both rooms and have the kitchen and sitting areas to ourselves. The breakfast was set beautifully and was spectacular! Adriana, I can't wait to come back and will recommend you to all of our friends. Thank you very much !!!! 10/10!

Casa Retrò was an excellent choice for staying in Bologna, mainly because of Adriana, who manages the accommodation with kindness, warmth, and professionalism.

The B&B Casa Retrò is located just outside the walls. The center can be reached in ten minutes on foot, and you can leave your car on the street, for a fee, near the property. Adriana, who manages the B&B, is extremely kind and willing to meet the clients' requests, and she offers an abundant and varied breakfast. The cleanliness is impeccable! Excellent quality/price ratio. Highly recommended.

We stayed one night at Casa Retro, which is naturally very short. It was a wonderful experience. Casa Retro is located in a quiet green area, just a short walk from the city center. The spacious rooms are tastefully furnished with a lot of style. The breakfast had everything to start the day happily. The best part was the friendly welcome from Adriana, a lady of great class. We will definitely come back. Wim and Lieve. May 2024.

Buonasera signor Caccavale, mi fa piacere che abbia gradito il soggiorno presso la mia struttura! Relativamente all'aria condizionata capisco che non sia comodissima la gestione da remoto ma l'alternativa era quella di non installare l aria condizionata per una questione di consumi e di attenersi alle normative vigenti. Sicuramente lo specificherò più chiaramente in fase di prenotazione, prospettive diverse aiutano a riflettere meglio! La saluto cordialmente, Adriana

The B&B Casa Retrò was a delightful discovery. Mrs. Adriana, who runs it, is very kind and always made herself super available for every need, attentive to details and truly friendly; a true hostess who knows how to take care of her guests. The property is completely renovated and cared for down to the smallest detail, it has every comfort and the stay is really pleasant. Excellent room, very comfortable bed, modern bathroom complete with necessary accessories, all very clean. The location is strategic: just outside the center alleys but very well connected with services. It was truly a nice weekend. When we return to Bologna we will definitely stay again at B&B Casa Retrò, not only for the high quality of service but also to meet again the kind Mrs. Adriana who manages it. Thank you again and, hopefully, see you soon!
