Enjoy the perfect blend of serene nature and urban convenience, just minutes from downtown. Ideal for families or groups seeking a chic and comfortable getaway.



The Space:

Welcome to The Bruno. Step into a sun-drenched, multi-level home where contemporary design meets ultimate comfort. Natural light floods through large windows, illuminating a clean, neutral palette accented by warm woods. The main living area invites you to unwind on the large sectional sofa, gathered around the cozy gas fireplace for a movie night or quiet conversation. Start your day with coffee on one of two private balconies with serene views of the Bow River, or soak your cares away in your own private hot tub under the stars.

Anybody looking for a classy and pristine home rental, look no further. The location was perfect, walkable to one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Calgary with everything you need at your fingertips. From the open green space that flanked the house to the deadly city view vantage points, (including from the private hot tub in the back yard) this place makes life easy and enjoyable. Thanks for the gorgeous dog walks along the river and the safety of the fenced back yard for the pups! I will be back!

Clean rooms, clean kitchen, all of the needed kitchen gadgets. Very comfortable beds and nice showers. Access to laundry always a plus. Nice big hot tub at the end of the day is a huge plus. Walking distance to downtown and Kensington area. We felt very safe walking at night.

We stayed here for our annualGirls weekend get away. 7 of us. The house was plenty big enough. Rooms and beds fit us all perfect! Beds are comfy. Bedding is nice. Hot tub is a great feature. Alex was amazing to communicate with. Lots of stairs so not great if you have mobility issues. But overall great. Would highly recommend.

Family get together.

It was a lovely stay and the place was perfect for our larger group of five adults one child and a dog. Drinks in the back yard then nice evening walks to supper to Kensington for suppers. Nice walks along the river after supper with the dog enjoying all the people also enjoying the river walks. We had a great visit!
