Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta

Informazioni su questo posto Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta

Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta occupies a 15th-century convent building on Via Orfeo, in the characterful neighbourhood south of Piazza Maggiore between the Due Torri and the Cassero. The hotel has 18 rooms, each individually decorated with antiques, local art and fabrics — the name refers to silk flowers, and the décor reflects a deliberate aesthetic of layered texture and colour. The garden courtyard is exceptional: a walled outdoor space with fig trees, terracotta pots and a genuinely peaceful atmosphere within five minutes of the city's busiest squares. The hotel has been consistently praised by LGBTQ+ guests on international booking platforms for the warmth of its welcome and the lack of any awkwardness around same-sex couples. It is not a gay hotel — it does not market specifically to the LGBTQ+ community — but it is the kind of family-run boutique property where the owners genuinely don't care who you sleep with. The Cassero is a 12-minute walk. Price range is mid-to-upper for Bologna (3–4 star equivalent).
