Description

Centro Storico welcomes guests to a 1940s villa in central Parma, still home to the family who owns it. On the first floor, guests have a private bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and balcony, as well as exclusive use of a living room with a kitchen and an adjoining terrace.

With its own separate entrance, the accommodation offers plenty of independence. The bedroom has a TV and Wi-Fi, and guests can use the kitchen and terrace to prepare and enjoy breakfast, which is included in the rate.

Private parking is available on request. The property has a municipal permit allowing access to Parma’s limited traffic zone (ZTL), so guests arriving by car can arrange entry details with the family.

Welcoming and discreet host. You feel at home. The property is unique, almost "museum-like", quiet and ideal for those who want to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan cities.

More than satisfied. Excellent welcome from the owner who proved to be kind, caring, and very attentive to the customer's needs. The room, equipped with all comforts including a large balcony and a kitchenette, is well-kept and furnished with taste and attention to detail. The common areas are equally fascinating and rich in unique and carefully chosen furnishings. Highly recommended.

I stayed two days in this characteristic B&b very close to the center of Parma. The owner (Mr. Demetrio) is a wonderful person, very kind and very helpful towards his guests. The room I stayed in was very spacious, clean, with the option to choose different pillows. The bathroom was clean and equipped with everything necessary. The added value of the room I stayed in is that it also has a livable kitchen that can be used for meal preparation. The breakfast offered is varied and very rich. The city center is easily reachable on foot. I recommend staying at this B&b if you want a quiet place, away from the city chaos. Excellent value for money.

The location is an 8-minute walk to the city center. The host is welcoming and it felt as if we were staying in an old, well-preserved estate. The wifi is weak.

Grazie. Purtroppo Wi-Fi (fibra ottica) non andava per guasto tecnico non imputabile all'host.

mauro

Nice and clean place. It's an old villa very close to the center, far from chaos you can breathe an ancient air, it felt like being in an old movie 💖. Many various details here and there. I liked it, the owner is very kind. A dining-breakfast room is available for guests. Nice way to distinguish the rooms with flower names. If you are looking for a 'cold' modern environment, it's not the right place. I would definitely go back.

A very special place, with a truly unique character. Our room did not have air conditioning during the day, and at night it was comfortable with a fan and windows open. Delightful host. No English, but we managed! A little noisy in front on the road in the morning with the windows open. Just if you are sensitive to that. We also had a second room for our family in the attic, and it was air-conditioned and very comfortable. I highly recommend.

Very clean room, very comfortable bed, large and spotless bathroom. Excellent breakfast. They accept dogs. What can I say? Everything very good, we will definitely come back, maybe with more calm and for a couple of nights. I will certainly recommend it.

Even though with minimal English, we were able to communicate. For me, great location, walk to everywhere in Centro Storico. I would stay there again. THANK YOU! Breakfast was toast and instant coffee. I was spoiled; I love meat and cheese, fresh cake like other B&Bs.

A B&B to recommend very close to the center, a bit old-fashioned but that's what gives it its charm, very quiet and we were lucky to stay in the downstairs room well isolated and overlooking a small green area + possibility to park your car. A very friendly welcome.

The location is secluded but close to the city center and the citadel park. The entrance is a bit dark but one gets used to it quickly. The manager is very kind and discreet: it's his house but you live in total privacy. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The room is very cozy. You feel at home. Giac is very nice.
