Our stay at the Al Battistero d'Oro was a highlight of our trip due to the gracious hospitality and authentic Italian coziness we experienced as guests of Patrizia, the owner and operator of Al Battistero. If one appreciates authentic historical Italian architecture and art, you will get a kick out of this place. The accommodation is not a free-standing cottage... More

Perhaps it was because I had just left a beautiful B&B in Ravenna that I was disappointed when I arrived at Al Battistero d’Oro B&B in Parma. But I think it’s more that the website painted a lovelier picture of the accommodations than I found in reality. The immediate area around the B&B is a little run down. You need... More

Instead of staying in the room Patrizia has in her gracious home, I stayed in the beautiful apartment she has nearby in the center of the historic part of the city. The building is old and the apartment is gorgeous - beamed ceilings throughout, thick stucco walls, lovely large windows that open out onto incredible views - everything you'd hope... More

What a beautiful surprise! Parma isn't the first city you think of when traveling to Italy, but it turned out to be a great surprise, and the Bed and Breakfast "Al Battistero D'Oro". made our brief stay all the better! While our trip to Parma was a disaster thanks to Trenitalia ... The Host (Patrizia) from the B&B with her... More

I have done many travels all over the world and have stayed in numerous B&B. This by far was the best experience I have ever had in a Bed and Breakfast. The room is hands down the most BEAUTIFUL room I have ever stayed in. There is so much detail and history within the building that it is truly romantic.... More

She can help with great ideas and is sweet as pie. The room is absolutely gorgeous and immaculate while the location is perfect, very close to the city center... within a... More

The room is very nice, very clean,.. the bed is very good (very important)..and the position of the building is in the centre of the old city (ideal).. Mrs Valenti (the owner) is a very kind person and always keen to help. Parma is a beautiful, romantic, italian city! We will come back again. :) More

Staying at Al Battistero d'oro turned a lovely week in Parma into a simply wonderful one. The accommodations are beautiful, spacious, unbelievably quiet, comfortable, and centrally located. But the best part is the friendliness and care provided by the owner. Most B&B owners are helpful and friendly (or they wouldn't be in that business) but she is unusually so, without... More

We absolutely LOVED this quaint little spot in Parma! The room's decor was perfect, very Italian, and the bed was extremely comfortable. It's important to note that this is not a formal hotel, in the sense that you won't find a sign or a store front. You'll need to ring the doorbell and the owner will let you in. Please... More
