Four Room Ground Floor Apartment With Exclusive Use Courtyard On Via Delle Tovaglie – Casa Martelli

Ground-floor apartment forming part of the renovation of the entire Palazzo Martelli.

Upon entering, you reach the living area, comprising a large eat-in kitchen, living room and bathroom with separate sanitary fixtures.

Continuing along the corridor, there is a single bedroom, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a multipurpose room.

The property is completed by a 5.4 sq m cellar.

A distinctive feature of this unit is the shared courtyard for exclusive use, providing an attractive outdoor area.

Completion expected from the end of October 2027.

This noble palace, arranged over three levels, features a portico consisting of four bays with cross vaults, incorporating the only entrance on Via delle Tovaglie.

The building entrance is enhanced by a pointed-arch portal decorated with a finely worked sandstone arch moulding, giving the palace its unmistakable appearance.

Inside are a large courtyard and a small cloister, attributable to the former convent complex.

Major structural works are underway, including seismic upgrading, adaptation of the load-bearing walls, consolidation of the existing floors, construction of new floor slabs and a wooden roof, as well as energy-efficiency improvements (Class A/B).

Acoustic insulation, chemical barriers and damp-proofing treatments are also planned, together with internal and external lime-based plasterwork, Venetian-style paving for the portico, terracotta-strip paving for the inner courtyard, and marble flooring in the entrance hall, stairwell and landings.

The window frames will be made of highly insulating wood.

Located in Bologna’s historic city centre, a short distance from the Basilica of San Domenico and just steps from the pedestrian area of Via D’Azeglio, Casa Martelli offers a unique opportunity to live and work in a property steeped in history and convenient to all amenities.

The building dates back to the 15th century and is included in the FAI’s list of protected heritage properties. Originally an ancient convent, it was converted into a private residence by the Arcadian poet and playwright Pier Jacopo Martelli (or Martello) between the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The distinguished humanist lived here with his family and hosted important writers and artists, including the celebrated painter Carlo Cignani (Bologna, 1628–1719), as commemorated by the plaque beneath the building’s portico.
