This B&B was just amazing and totally captured our heart. It's an old farm house that has been renovated so mindfully with an old & rustic charm intact that just takes your breath away. Yet all the modern comfort was uncompromised. We loved our room, which featured exposed wood beams and a lovely view of the farm, its beautiful vintage... More

I stayed here because of all the good comments, however I can't agree with any of them. I was in Italy for a month and this was the worst. The owner was only interested in getting paid the minute we got there. We did not see him for the rest of the 3 days we were there, not even a... More

This place is gorgeous, the owner Francesco was so friendly and welcoming (and so were his cats!), I would definitely stay here again. More

Stayed for 2 nights in this old farmhouse, with lovely 2-ish acre grounds, very secure, about 2KM from central Parma. It is actually surrounded by roads and industrial stuff that post-dates it by 100 years, but it pulls off the oasis of seclusion thing pretty well. Lovely old rooms with original features, stunning relaxation. The very amiable host has good... More

A quiet B&B in a beautifully restorated old farmhouse, just outside the town. Owned and managed by a friendly Mr. Bigliardi who is able and of course willing to give you detailed information about the region. The B&B has several (three ?) rooms to rent which are furnished elegantly. The house comes with a large garden. In spite of the... More

This was a lovely farm near the autostrada (but I didn't hear traffic) and a short bicycle ride into the city center. Francesco lent me the bicycle and gave me the run of the place. I loved riding into town each morning -- I felt so Italian with my basket and bell! EVERYONE in Parma rides bicycles. The farm itself... More
