Wonderful location, quiet yet in the center. The hosts are extremely caring and helpful, they drove us to the parking garage, looked for a charging station for the car, and were always there for us. The room is nicely furnished and clean, the breakfast is very Italian (actually only sweet), but shared with the other guests at a large table. Anytime again!

A corner of your home in Parma. The structure is welcoming and very well designed in the reduced spaces of the center of Parma. It is ideal for visiting the city. It is 10 minutes on foot from all the tourist and culinary attractions. The added value is the owners who make you feel not like a customer, but like a true guest. Congratulations.

I stayed at the B&B Opera 11 for one night during a business trip and I felt good from the very beginning. The owner, Francesca, was very kind, welcomed me, and suggested a small tour as well as a restaurant just a two-minute walk from the B&B, which I really appreciated a lot. I will definitely return for my next trip to Parma.

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!

My family spent a wonderful day in Parma. Roberto was a very welcoming and informative host.

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 bathroom was so huge compared to the other places we stayed during our 5 week European vacation. Roberto and Francesca were very nice people.

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.

Very central, good breakfast, kindness and courtesy of the owner who came to pick us up at the parking lot upon arrival and allowed us to leave the luggage on the day of check out, until our departure. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you.

The managers are discreet and very friendly, the welcome is perfect and in the kitchen there is always water, fresh fruit, as well as everything necessary for breakfast. In relation to the quality of the structure, I would have been willing to pay even a little more. Excellent, I think you cannot ask for more from a 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.

A truly clean, elegant, and stylish B&B, right in the center of Parma. Highly recommended. The owners are very good; they advised me on where to buy the best typical products (Parmesan cheese and ham) and where to eat. I will pass on the tip about the restaurant: 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

Very courteous already on the phone during the booking phase. The room was spacious, tastefully furnished. Everything was clean. The owners were very courteous. Every morning for breakfast, the lady brought fresh pastries from the pastry shop. The recommendations on where to eat were also excellent. If you go there, ask them about parking. Fresh fruit and more were available for guests. I would return and recommend it.
