The Property — Affittacamere Da Vito
Da Vito is a straightforward, family-run guesthouse a short walk from Imola's Autodromo. The lobby is small and functional, with a reception desk and a few chairs; it feels more like a well-kept private home than a hotel. Rooms are clean and basic, aimed at travellers who need a quiet base rather than frills. It suits race fans attending events at the circuit, or budget-conscious visitors who want easy access to Imola's historic centre.
Chronicles of Imola
Imola began as the Roman settlement Forum Cornelii, later renamed after the medieval Lords of Imola. Its Renaissance core still shows traces of the Sforza fortress and the 16th-century Palazzo Sersanti. Today the city is best known for the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, which hosts the Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Culturally, Imola balances its motor-racing heritage with a strong culinary identity, particularly in piadina and Sangiovese wine.
Best Time to Visit
Full Imola guide →Best months
May and September: warm, sunny days with fewer tourists than summer; ideal for exploring the centre and the circuit.
Peak / festival surge
May (for the Grand Prix) and also late June through August, when Italian holidaymakers visit. During the Grand Prix, hotel prices can triple; rooms sell out months ahead. The main event is the F1 race weekend in May.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: lower prices, mild weather, but occasional rain. Good for quiet visits and local festivals like the Imola diVino wine event in September.
Weather & packing
Summer days are hot and humid, but evenings can cool sharply. Pack a light jacket or cardigan, plus a rain shell for sudden afternoon thunderstorms.
Live City Briefing — Imola
- The Autodromo is undergoing track resurfacing work until early 2026, which may cause minor road closures near the circuit on weekdays.
- A new cycle path linking the city centre to the Santerno River park is now open, offering a pleasant off-road route for cyclists.
- Several restaurants in the historic centre now require advance reservations for dinner, especially on weekends, due to high demand from both locals and tourists.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Affittacamere Da Vito, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room at the far end of the first-floor corridor, away from the stairwell. The building is two-storey with all rooms upstairs, so you'll avoid foot traffic from guests coming up and down. The courtyard side (away from Via Montecatone) is quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms directly facing Via Montecatone at the front of the building. The street is a local road with some traffic noise during the day, especially from early morning commuters. Also skip rooms near the stairwell at the top of the stairs.
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the building overlook the small courtyard and parked cars – not scenic but private and quiet. The front-facing rooms look onto Via Montecatone and a row of suburban houses. No panoramic views; the address is a residential street on the outskirts of Imola.
Quietest floors
First floor only. There is no lift, and all rooms are on the first floor of this two-storey building.
🔊 Noise notes
The main noise sources are: (1) traffic on Via Montecatone — moderate during weekday rush hours, quiet at night. (2) Guests using the stairs (wooden) can be audible. (3) The courtyard has only 6 spaces, so early departures may hear car doors and engines. (4) No bar, restaurant or lift noise. (5) Nearest public car park is 200m away, but no EV charging means no charging noise.
Insider tips
1. Parking is very limited — arrive before 6pm to claim one of the 6 courtyard spaces, otherwise you'll need to use public parking on Via dei Colli (€10 overnight). 2. WiFi login uses room number only, no password — note yours down. If you need a quiet room, ask for the end of the corridor opposite the stairwell at check-in.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

ATMs in Imola city centre give the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Bologna airport or train stations as they often have poor rates and high fees.

Conad, Coop and Lidl are the common budget supermarket chains in Imola.
Imola’s main shopping street, Via Emilia (centro), has Italian high-street brands like OVS and Upim, plus a weekly market on Saturdays in Piazza Caduti for affordable clothing.

Buy groceries at Lidl or Conad and pack a picnic. Eat where locals queue at lunchtime; look for menù fisso (fixed-price lunch) for €10–12. Get a Bologna Welcome Card if visiting Bologna, but for Imola alone it's not worth it.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Bologna Centrale Railway Station → Imola Railway Station

Piazza Matteotti or Imola Station → B&B Il Giardino Segreto di Alda Zanelli
💡 No taxi rank right at B&B; call ahead or walk 10 mins from centre. Useful after evening meals in town – the B&B is just off Via Emilia, easy to find. Cash only for short local trips.
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) → B&B Il Giardino Segreto di Alda Zanelli

Top Attractions in Imola
💡 Go on a Saturday morning when the weekly market fills the square. Late afternoon, the light hits the brickwork of the palazzo perfectly.
💡 Free access to the walkways ends at sundown. Go just before closing for golden light and fewer people.
💡 Ask at the ticket desk if the chiostro piccolo (small cloister) is open – it's often overlooked and has fresco fragments.
💡 Bring an empty bottle and fill up at the Fontana della Salute – locals swear by the water. Avoid after rain; the paths get muddy.
💡 Weekday mornings are quietest. Walk to the back straight near the Variante Alta corner for the best view over the fence.
