Breakfast
Breakfast is undoubtedly one of the highlights of our B&B. We are passionate about good food and typical-traditional products. Additionally, we are located in what is considered the Italian food valley.

In the morning, we offer two types of breakfast:
- The sweet breakfast: with homemade cakes, especially the plum jam tart and the orange loaf cake. But also ricotta and chocolate cake, lemon cream tart, and apple cake. Additionally, yogurt, muesli, jams, fresh bread, and seasonal fruit.

- The farmer's breakfast: with Parmesan cheese and cold cuts from our local area: ham, cooked shoulder, culatello, coppa, and fiocchetto.

Fruit juices, tea, coffee, cappuccino, and barley coffee are also available.

Hey from Patrizia

My name is Patrizia and I work in the B&B with my parents Paolo and Liliana. I am the youngest of three brothers and all the members of our family have always shared conviviality spirit. Our house has always been full of friends and we usually organize dinners and lunches. We like to meet new people and share the values of hospitality and good food. We have always lived in the countryside and the B&B perfectly reflects our passion for the green and nature. In addition to the management of the B&B I deal with creative writing. I'm an author. I write theatrical dramas, texts for television formats, children's tales. Also I am a singer and I play in a theater company. I love traveling. I did the camino of Santiago twice, all by myself. But the most creative and rewarding experience of all is the constant interrelation and exchange with people.. so we are waiting for you!

Area countryside
The B&B il Gruccione is located in the countryside of San Secondo, less than 15 km away from the Parma Trade Fairs - easily accessible without the city chaos - and 20 km away from Parma Airport.

The B&B is situated in a strategic position from which you can visit the castles of the lower Parma region, among the best preserved in Italy: Fontanellato, Roccabianca, Soragna, and Colorno. Furthermore, just a few kilometers away from B&B il Gruccione, you can find the places where Giuseppe Verdi was born and lived: Roncole Verdi, Busseto, and Sant'Agata.

In a 15-minute drive, you can reach Fidenza Village, the outlet of renowned brands for shopping enthusiasts.

San Secondo is located in the heart of the Food Valley, where the most beloved Italian products in the world are produced. These are the areas of culatello di Zibello, salame di Felino, and prosciutto di Parma. The entire countryside is dotted with cheese factories, where you can buy Parmigiano Reggiano d. o. c., the most famous and imitated cheese in the world.

Il B&B è bellissimo! La struttura completamente nuova è stupenda, la camera (azzurra) molto spaziosa ben arredata con anche un piccolo terrazzino e ogni confort. I bagni sono nuovi e pulitissimi, i gestori gentilissimi e disponibili nel soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta. La colazione buonissima ed abbondante con la possibilità di scegliere sia dolce che salato. Intorno ala casa c'è un bellissimo giardino. Un posto molto bello da tutti i punti di vista! peccato esserci restati solo per una notte!
