There are many different unusual hotels throughout the world. The most unique of them consist of only one room. In Bologna located one of the most interesting hotel.

Torre Prendiparte was built in the 12th century. Its height is about 60 meters and the thickness of the walls at the bottom is 1.5 meters. Matteo Giovanardi is taking care of it, he is the heir of an ancient family, who owned the tower for centuries. Upon check in, he conducts a tour over the tower.

Portraits of the former owners on the walls.

Living rooms are located on the lower floors. Entrance hall, bathroom, bedroom and a kitchen. Shower and toilet were made inside the wall, as such luxury did not exist in the Middle Ages. The kitchen is fully equipped.

Further, up to the roof are technical floors. The tower has 12 floors and no elevator. We climbed to the roof three times, lost a few kilos :)

The roof is the pearl of the tower, just be sure that weather is warm and windless.

We took a bottle of champagne and spent the entire evening on the roof, which offers the best view of the city symbol, the double towers of Bologna.
