Very cozy, clean, and tastefully furnished room. The bathroom is small, but with a window and sufficient for short stays. The additional bed with an inflatable mattress turned out to be more comfortable than expected. Massimo, the owner, was always punctual and helpful.

Magnificent Pio B&B, decorated with care and very clean. Small, quiet, and cozy, we loved it. The only slight drawback is the breakfast at the bar next door, because not speaking Italian well, and as there is no menu, we drank and ate the same thing every time. The staff is warm and friendly, but a menu with the menu simplifies the choice.

The room is in a great location, in the center of Parma in a pedestrian area, it is very clean, welcoming, well furnished and equipped with everything you need. The instructions to get there and access the property are very detailed and the key delivery method is very convenient and allows you to arrive at any time. The only note we make is about the size of the bathroom which is a bit too small. We stayed for two nights and our overall judgment is positive.

I stayed at Pio B&B in room number 4 with an acquaintance on New Year's Eve. The strengths of the property are definitely its central location and the precision of the information provided by Mr. Massimo via email, both deserving a solid 10. The room is very spacious but the bathroom is quite embarrassing. The shower is practically above the toilet and without a shower enclosure, so when you shower the tiny bathroom gets flooded. Another downside is the breakfast served in a pastry shop on Corso Cavour, consisting of a cappuccino and a croissant, half of what is stated on the B&B's website.

An old house, complete with narrow and rather steep stone steps, that has been beautifully renovated. We found an elegant and practical room, carefully detailed and with some vintage touches: the spacious and functional wardrobe, for example. The bathroom is tiny, but so well managed in space as to seem large. Massimo is a very precise and attentive manager: he provides instructions worthy of a NASA manual. Oh, just ten steps away from the Baptistery!

The 1 point deduction was given for the very small bathroom in the accommodation and the breakfast was generally great but even better on the second day. So all in all a really great stay! And since you don't meet the landlord in person at the accommodation, there was also a deduction point, but he was always reachable via WhatsApp and always sent all the information in advance in detail. It was great!

Tastefully decorated room, comfortable, bathroom a bit small but understandable in a historic building. The nightlife noise is a bit noticeable but then it gets quiet. Breakfast at the nearby bar is very good and the lady is very kind. Watch out for the broken plank in the shower platform with protruding nails, you risk injuring your feet. Overall we were satisfied. Thank you.

The air conditioning was so loud that we could barely sleep. After contacting the host in the morning, he blamed it on city regulations rather than saying he would fix it. Also, he overcharged me. On the website, the price said $80. After contacting the host directly, he said $90. He told me that there were no standard rooms left for the evening. I needed to upgrade. However, I figured out that no guests were staying in the apartment building. Very bad business all around! From one traveler to another, stay away.

We absolutely loved this place, overlooking the cobblestone street below. It was close to so many good places to eat, including La Forchetta for delicious seafood misto. The room was the perfect size for the two of us, and the decor was inviting. The café around the corner for breakfast was great, we had yogurt, pastries, a selection of meat and cheeses, and cappuccino.

The structure is located in the city center, just a stone's throw from the cathedral and the main bustling streets of the city. An ancient building, impeccably renovated. Large and spacious room, with two windows overlooking the main street. Well air-conditioned and finely furnished. The only downside was the slightly small bathroom, but I understand that in an ancient structure it's not easy to revise the spaces. We didn't meet the owner in person, we kept in touch only via email, but he was always kind and helpful, also providing us with the contact of a wonderful guide for a gastronomic tour. I really recommend this place because, even comparing prices with other structures, it's definitely the best in town!

Organizzazione originale ma perfetta (nessun contatto diretto con i proprietari, ma non ce n’è stato bisogno), camere accoglienti e rifinite, bagno piccolo ma funzionale. Angolo cucina per caffè e tisane più colazione in pasticceria. Centrale. Unica pecca: mancava il phon. Per il resto consigliatissimo.

Multo professionale & easy. Però la fenestra nella nostra camera non si chiudeva proprio, era rumoroso anche durante la notte e faceva freddo. Spero di non diventare malato. Colazione nel Cafe Tiffany Top, domenica si va da un'altra pasticceria perché il cafe è chiuso. La gente li non era gentile, non ci siamo sentiti benvenuti. Per tutto questo troppo costoso.

The location was excellent and the host was very helpful. Breakfast was not served at the premises as specified but was offered at a cafe close by. The cafe did not open on Sunday until 9.30, which meant we had to go to a different nominated cafe/pattisserie because we needed an earlier start. We had a choice of savoury and/or sweet rolls/pastries, juice and coffee/tea. No reason or prior advice was given for the change in arrangements and I am uncertain whether it was temporary or permanent. Cold drinks, juice tea/coffee were available free of charge on the top floor. We were in Room 2 which had a very comfortable bed and was reasonably spacious, however the bathroom was extremely cramped, even for people of small stature. I am not aware if this is the case for the other rooms but I am not particularly fussy and I am surprised other reviewers have not commented on the size of the bathroom. Unless I could ascertain the other bathrooms were adequate, I would probably stay elsewhere in future.

Pio B&B was the high point of our accommodations during our recent trip to Italy. It is located in the center of Parma’s historic attractions. Massimo Mezzadri, a consummate host, went out of his way to help us, even offering to pick us up at the train station, and providing detailed directions for finding our own way and accessing our room. He also recommended places to eat and helped in making reservations, and we were highly delighted with each of his selections. Breakfasts were generous with varied delicious sweet and salty choices, and we were encouraged to take more with us to eat later. Our room itself was historic yet spacious, comfortable, quiet, and fully equipped with elegant modern fixtures. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Collocato in edificio antico, nel centro storico, in posizione strategica. Il voto 7 si riferisce ad una scala d'accesso ripida, non adatta ad anziani o portatori di handicap. Tutto il resto è affascinante e soddisfaciente al massimo. Classe e cortesia al top. Consiglio ad occhi chiusi.

Eines der charmantesten B&Bs, in denen wir je übernachtet haben. Die Unterkunft liegt in direkter Laufentfernung zu allen wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt und ist mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet. Der Betreiber des B&B ist ausgesprochen sympathisch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es fühlte sich fast an, als hätten wir Urlaub bei einem langjährigen Freund gemacht. Einfach toll. Eine Unterkunft, die nur zu empfehlen ist.

L'eccellenza, l'eleganza, la cortesia e la professionalità sono alcune delle parole che possono aiutare a descrivere quel posto. In pienissimo centro (a due.. e dico due passi dal battistero e quindi da TUTTO!), raffinato, curatissimo nei minimi particolari, elegante, ottimamente ed elegantemente arredato (anche con mobili di pregio armadio dell'800 da lasciarci il cuore). I gestori sono due persone deliziose (ci sono anche venuti a prendere alla stazione senza parole!). Tutto è ai massimi livelli (direi di un hotel a 5 stelle) ma a prezzi contenutissimi colazione formidabile (dolce di ogni tipo, spremuta fresca e dico fresca, fatta davanti a noi!), se voluto anche il salato con prosciutti stupendi. I gestori ci hanno anche mandato in due trattorie frequentate dai parmensi meravigliose ed economiche. insomma in una sola parola tutto e dico tutto eccellente se proprio dovessi trovare un difetto: il bagno della suite un po piccolo rispetto alla grandiosità della stanza con soggiorno e camera da letto ultima annotazione non c'è ascensore ma scale con gradini di epoca splendidamente tenuti! Lo consiglio, lo consiglio, lo consiglio! non è una recensione "comprata".. se volete contattatemi per avere conferma! Cari "pii" siete stupendi! a presto spero! antonio.
