Delightful property in the city center, with a very convenient garage nearby. Roberto provides all the information needed to experience the city in the best way, Francesca pampers you and makes you feel at home, helpful and very friendly. Impeccable room and bathroom, good and plentiful breakfast. Our reference point for the next times we pass through Parma.

Francesca and Roberto are two fantastic people! They are kind, friendly, and absolutely available for any request. The B&B is completely new and modern. Conveniently located, as it is close to the main historical and cultural attractions. Parma is a very pleasant city and suitable for spending a weekend away. People like Francesca and Roberto are rare and precious. Thank you for everything!

Perfect location: the room is very comfortable, the tranquility is palpable, the cleanliness of the common area and the room is excellent! I was immediately struck by the welcoming of the fantastic "hostess" who made me feel at ease, without being intrusive but with a pleasant presence! And the added value of the kitchen, the fridge provided with everything. And what about the lamp always on at the entrance, a sign of the warmth of a true welcome. We don't feel alone in this corner of Parma. Thank you so much! Vilma.

We stayed the weekend of September 21/22. The Bed and Breakfast is located in the center of Parma, in a great location to visit the city! You have many covered parking spaces outside the ZTL area (I recommend the "Repubblica parking" because it's cheaper). The rooms are very nice, tastefully decorated and very clean. The owners are special, extremely helpful, and welcoming. It's hard to find places like this. Breakfast is plentiful and in the refreshment area you have the possibility of having water, coffee, and herbal teas at your pleasure whenever you want. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at Opera 11. Super clean and with an unbeatable location, it was perfect for our culinary tours in the region and also convenient for strolling around the city center. I would add more fruits to the breakfast and maybe not so many one-way items on the breakfast. The hosts were hands down the BEST we had in our 10-day Italy vacation, super friendly and at the same time very respectful. Always available for small requests (We locked ourselves out and Fernando came to our rescue). If you are seeking Parma for your travels, this is a winner!

We stayed at this property for 4 nights around New Year's Eve. The B&B's location is very central and perfect for visiting Parma and the city's main cultural attractions. We were extremely satisfied with the room and the service offered. The owners are very kind and attentive to guests' needs. I highly recommend this property.

Excellent, well cared for in details, modern and comfortable, in a very central yet quiet location. A couple of extra square meters wouldn't be bad, but it's a historic building and one has to deal with this. Impeccable management: efficiency, courtesy, and friendliness. Excellent value for money.

My family spent a wonderful day in Parma. Roberto was a very welcoming and informative host. He even went as far as to escort us to a Parmesan cheese factory so that we could learn all about the intricacies of the making of this delicious cheese. Francesca and Roberto were perfect hosts and their properties were central and charming. You must stay here.

Roberto and Francesca were absolutely lovely and their B&B was perfect for us. The neighborhood was very trendy and so was the decor of our room. We chose the top floor room with a skylight. Roberto was kind enough to pick us up at the parking garage, as most of the streets were blocked off for a holiday. And Francesca was the perfect hostess upon our arrival and departure. We will stay here again! Oh.. and we fell in love with Parma.

We spent 3 nights at the B&B Opera 11 around New Year's Eve. Our feedback can only be positive. Among the strengths, we highlight the central and quiet location, in the heart of Parma. The cleanliness of the room and the comfort of the bed. The good breakfast and the possibility of having the kitchen available for the entire stay with coffee, tea, and fruit. A special mention goes to the owner Francesca for her kindness, friendliness, and availability.

Coffee was fabulous but we are not into processed foods for breakfast. Fresh fruit was okay but not enough to tide you over until lunch. The hosts were amazing and very informative about the area of Parma. Went to every place they recommended during our stay. Loved the room and the decor. The bathroom was so huge compared to the other places we stayed during our 5 week European vacation. Roberto and Francesca were very nice people.

A truly delightful bed and breakfast, right in the center but in a very quiet location. Very clean, elegant, and well cared for in every detail. We were greeted very well by Roberto and Francesca who proved to be perfect hosts from the start, meeting us at the bus stop and accommodating our needs for room arrangements. Truly a top-notch welcome. Not to mention the breakfast, with fresh croissants, juices, and yogurt, and cappuccino creamier than that of the bar. I highly recommend it. The next time I come back to Parma, I will stay here.

Abbiamo soggiornato nell'appartamento sito in Borgo S. Biagio; arredato con gusto, pulitissimo, a voler essere pignoli manca solo uno specchio "figura intera", ed una luce in più alla specchio del bagno. Centralissimo, buona colazione, gentilezza e cortesia del proprietario che è venuto a prenderci al parcheggio all'arrivo e ci ha permesso di lasciare i bagagli il giorno del check out, fino alla nostra partenza. Lo consiglio a tutti. Grazie.

Siamo stati ospiti del B&B per due notti. Piena soddisfazione per la cura che i proprietari hanno messo nel farci sentire a nostro agio. Frutta fresca all'arrivo, bevande calde, accoglienza cortese e sincera, simpatia schietta senza essere invadente. Buonissima colazione con brioche fresche di pasticceria e ogni altra delizia. Arredamento di gran gusto, allestimenti impeccabili. Posizione ideale per la visita della città, a un passo dal Centro. Che dire? Dovessimo tornare in zona, la scelta è sicura.

Siamo rimasti qui due notti e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Posizione ideale per una breve vacanza, in pieno centro storico; palazzina d'epoca molto caratteristica, inevitabili gli scalini tra un piano e l'altro. Camere confortevoli e pulizia accurata. I titolari sono gentili e disponibili. Zona breakfast forse un pò piccola, ma completa di ogni accessorio. Colazione non internazionale, ma all'italiana ed abbondante come piace a noi!

Sie liegt sehr zentral, die Fußgängerzone ist nur wenige Meter entfernt, ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, die Stadt zu Fuß zu erkunden. Die charmante Betreiberin ist sehr hilfsbereit und kann gute Tipps für die Erkundung von Parma geben. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen!

La struttura è in un vicoletto silenzioso, ma in pieno centro storico. È perfettamente tenuta, pulitissima, ideata ed arredata con molto gusto. Le camere sono al primo ed al secondo piano. I gestori sono discreti e cordialissimi, l'accoglienza è perfetta ed in cucina c'è sempre acqua, frutta fresca, oltre a tutto il necessario per la colazione. In rapporto alla qualità della struttura, sarei stato disposto a pagare anche qualcosa in più. Eccellente, penso non si possa chiedere di più ad un B&B.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Giuseppe per aver recensito la nostra struttura. Ciò, oltre che lusingarci, ci sprona a migliorare con nuove idee.

Un B&B veramente pulito, elegante e di design, in pieno centro a Parma. Consigliatissimo. I gestori molto bravi, mi hanno consigliato dove acquistare i prodotti tipici migliori (parmigiano e prosciutto) e dove mangiare. Vi giro la dritta sul ristorante: Osteria dello Zingaro borgo Del Correggio, 5 0521 207483.

stayed from 12/18/2012 to 12/19/2012

The answer from the host:
Grazie Giambattista, è stato un piacere ed un onore ospitarti. Spero che, se ritornerai a Parma, ci sia la possibilità di pranzare insieme allo Zingaro. Buone feste a te e famiglia. Francesca e Roberto.

manuela

Molto cortesi già telefonicamente in fase di prenotazione. La camera era ampia, arredata con molto gusto. Tutto pulito. I proprietari molto cortesi. Tutte le mattine per colazione la signora portava brioche fresche di pasticceria. Ottimi anche i consigli sul dove andare a mangiare. Se ci andate chiedete a loro per il parcheggio. Frutta fresca ed altro a disposizione dei clienti. Ci tornerei e lo consiglierei.
