Stayed 1 night at La Piazzetta della Pioggia during a trip around Italy last month. I don not have one negative thng to say about this place - it is great! The building is lovely, stone floors and plenty of character. My room was very tastefully decorated, with a very modern slate tile bathroom and an excellent, very powerful shower! (great after an overnight train!). The bed was very comfortable and there was even a modern flatscreen TV in the room, unusual for B&Bs at this price level! The location of the hotel is perfect - only 5 mins walk from the main sqaure and centre of Bologna and 2 mins walk from the main shopping street. The owner may not on site 100% of the time, but this should not be a criticism - he is very easy to contact and has left a huge amount of information, leaflets, maps and even his top 10 suggestions for restarants in the lobby area. On top of this, the B&B is very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to friends and plan to return next year.
