The Savena district, in the south-eastern part of Bologna, offers a perfect balance between residential tranquillity and urban convenience. Here, the city presents itself in a more relaxed and authentic guise, far from the chaos but well connected to the main attractions. The landscape alternates between modern buildings and blocks from the 1950s and 1970s and elegant villas with well-kept gardens, in a setting where greenery is ever-present: parks, tree-lined avenues and open spaces make every walk a pleasure.
Savena is criss-crossed by numerous cycle paths and bus routes, allowing quick access to the historic centre, the station, the exhibition centre and the Sant'Orsola Hospital. The area is also perfect for those who travel by car, thanks to its proximity to the main roads and free parking throughout the neighbourhood. Supermarkets, bakeries, bars, restaurants, pharmacies and all the neighbourhood amenities that make your stay practical and comfortable are just a short walk away.
There are plenty of opportunities to relax in the open air: Parco dei Cedri is one of the most popular green spaces in the area, ideal for running, reading or simply taking a break in nature. Savena also boasts small historical and cultural corners, neighbourhood theatres, footpaths along the ancient course of the stream and places with an authentic flavour, proudly enjoyed by those who live here.
Choosing to stay in this neighbourhood means discovering a less crowded, more everyday Bologna that is surprisingly close to everything.
