My name is Maria Ketty and for a good 18 years I have been passionately managing the Bologna nel Cuore B&B.
I come from a small village located in the wonderful Dolomites, but I have been living here in Bologna since I was 8 years old.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to deeply know and appreciate this city, and it is thanks to the love I feel for it that I had the idea to open the doors of my home to the world, offering a unique hospitality.
My welcome is simple and authentic, based on availability, a family warmth, and careful attention to each guest, always respecting their privacy.
Throughout these years, I have had the pleasure of hosting and sharing special moments with people from all over the world, from different cultures and ages. I always take care of their well-being, and I do it with love. Every time someone leaves my B&B, I know that a piece of me stays in the heart of those who have passed through here, creating new connections and leaving unforgettable memories.
No one easily forgets a happy moment.
After 18 years since the opening of Bologna nel Cuore, I still love welcoming my guests with the same warmth as always and with the same desire to share with them the wonders of Bologna, offering valuable suggestions to explore the city.
