Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Bologna is a very attractive town in all seasons, with several cinemas, theaters, shops, restaurants and sightseeing (on request, we can provide you contacts of local guides). There is also an intense nightlife, due to the high amount of students coming from all parts of the world. Bologna is also an excellent starting point for visiting other cities, thanks a very efficient high-speed-train service (Turin 2.5 hours, Milan 1 hour, Venice 1.5 hours, Florence 30 minutes, Rome 2 hours, Naples, 3.5 hours). Furthermore, local trains are leading you to Parma (1 hour), Modena (20 minutes), Ferrara (30 minutes), Ravenna (1 hour), Rimini with its beaches (1 hour). For more details, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
The two cats need to be fed twice/day (7-9 am, 7-9 pm). Both are absolutely not aggressive: Nami, the tiger-shaped one, is very cuddly with everybody; Menta, the dappled one, does not like staying in arm, but is very curious and independent and likes to be patted, sometimes. Both cats are used to stay outside, even overnight, so do not care whether they decide to sleep indoor or outdoor.
Plant care: just give water (if possible) every 3 days at the latest.
