"Bologna often gets overlooked for some of Italy’s other major hubs, but this city—arguably the most food-centric spot in the country—is a glorious place to spend a few days. Bonus: It also happens to have a great collection of Airbnbs, like this impossibly charming loft in the historic center. The two rooftop terraces are the undeniable star of the space (those terra-cotta tiles!), but the interiors offer equal doses of Italian coziness, with slanted wood-beam ceilings and colorful artwork at every turn." - Madison Flager,Caitlin Morton
