Splendido Hotel progettato dall'architetto Pietro Zanlari. L'edificio è un'antica struttura agricola trasformata in hotel. Si nota il superbo intervento dell'architetto. Camere spaziose e funzionali. Si potrebbe migliorare non tanto la quantità ma la qualità dei prodotti del buffet della colazione, ma nel complesso lo consiglio. Simpatica la presenza di conigli e di una simpatica scrofetta nel giardino

Great location just off the A1. Staff were so friendly and made such an effort with us. The free bikes were a blessing to cycle into Parma in the rain, the receptionist advised to park at Piazza Garibaldi. The room was clean and spacious with all the facilities needed. The pool was clean with adequate chairs and an area for food:drinks. Too far too walk to the centre but easy enough to drive or cycle.

This beautifully refurbished old building is a pearl in the centre of the old city of Parma. It is within easy walking distance of everything one wishes to experience in this delightful city. The room we chose was spacious and serenely quiet. Linen and towels were changed every day. Most impressive, was the reception desk. Such desks these days, are often manned by nonchalant young people who are more interested in chatting to their colleagues or studying their smartphones than attending to their guests. Here, the receptionists actually stand up as you approach and look you straight in the eye with a welcoming smile and promptly solve your queries in a friendly manner. Vittorio himself, the elegant host, was there to receive us.

The location couldn’t be better - literally at the train station, easy walk into the old town. Our room was clean and a decent size, with two twin beds, desk, and closet. The bathroom looked to be recently renovated and was a good size with a shower and separate tub. Unfortunately, metal shutters were locked down over the windows, so no view or fresh air. Getting to the room (on the 2nd floor) required two different elevators. During our stay, there was no wifi available and our safe didn’t work. No English channels on the TV. Breakfast is served in the basement but has very little to offer - nothing warm, no fruit, no eggs. This place has potential, but isn’t quite there.

Very close to the train station (though we had some difficulty finding the place, Google map navigation's fault). Piumaviola is on a very quiet side street. ”Gated compound” type of entrance for cars & people. We arrived earlier than check-in time, were able to drop off our luggage, paid the city taxes, and rushed to visit the cloister & the library of the San Giovanni Evangelista before 11:45am Friday closing time. Lovely decorated room (Toscanini room) and the shared kitchen/dining area: a lot of wooden furniture (tables, map storing drawer type of furniture pieces), a nice touch of fake orchids, etc. Retro and tasteful. Even the area by the elevator was lovely. Our Toscanini room was soundproof and had one big room and a small room. A big washroom that also had a heated towel rack. Used to be a typography company so our room and the shared kitchen/dining area have high ceilings. There is a cold water dispenser, a kettle, a fridge for guests to use as well as plates, mugs, glasses, utensils, a microwave, & toaster. Great to have a meal there after making purchases from the supermarket. An observation: It's great that Piumaviola has a washer/dryer (all-in-one type; 1 machine) for the guests to use. Please keep in mind that it is best for those who are staying 2 nights so you will have ample time to hang & dry your laundry completely. I appreciated that the same PIN code is used to access the compound gate, building gate, elevator, and your room. No keys to return as we had to leave early before the included breakfast. Since we couldn't have the included breakfast the next morning, the owner's daughter prepared a tray of sweet goodies for us & placed it in our room. She was also easily reachable via Whatsapp since we had to dash to visit the San Giovanni Evangelista before closing time. She patiently answered my questions about the water dispenser, kettle, all-in-one washer/dryer how-to. We had an one-night stay & wished that we had stayed longer Please don't hesistate to book your stay at this lovely Piumaviola Bed & Apartments in Parma. (I don't get commissions. I just provided my first-hand experience. That's all. LOL)

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura per 2 notti e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Staff molto gentile e cordiale... pronto a risolvere qualsiasi problema... Quando siamo arrivati in camera non siamo riusciti a fare funzionare la TV, scendendo in reception abbiamo parlato con la ragazza di turno e dopo un paio d'ore che siamo rientrati in camera, la TV era perfettamente funzionante!!! Ottima colazione, dolce e salata (comprensiva di ottima frutta fresca). La nostra camera era molto pulita, spaziosa e silenziosa. La struttura è dotata di un ampio parcheggio per le auto e si trova in una posizione molto comoda e tattica. Complimenti a tutto lo staff!! Grazie di tutto! Assolutamente consigliato!!!

C’è da lavorare per meritare veramente la quarta stella. Bella struttura, spazi ampi per il living, la colazione e bel bar; ampio parcheggio gratuito a disposizione con 2 sole colonnine di ricarica a disposizione alla modica cifra di €0,80/kw, gestite da service esterno all’hotel e non facilmente fruibile. Spa aperta a pagamento (€15,00) dalle 17:00 alle 20:00 ma chiedendo alle 19:15 di accedervi, alla reception ci dicono che non è disponibile e bisogna chiedere prima. Camera spaziosa e non pulitissima, polvere sulle mensole, posizionate sopra il frigorifero. Bagno ok con dotazione ridotta al minimo, una saponetta e due dispenser per shampoo e bagnoschiuma nella doccia; nessun altro gadget per l’igiene, per pulire le scarpe, crema mani. Un po’ poco per una tariffa giornaliera di circa €300,00 per dormire e fare colazione in concomitanza con una fiera nel padiglione fieristico lì attiguo (5 minuti di auto). A 2 minuti dal casello autostradale e a 10 minuti dal centro di Parma. Palestra ok, sempre aperta. Bene, quindi, ma non benissimo… giuste 3 stelle e mezzo.

We are the elderly couple who stayed for 1 night in a twin room. The hotel has a nice location and secure parking places. The front entrance reception is appealing and so is the resturant. Members of staff were lovely. However the mattresses were hard (orthopaedic?) and of poor quality, that the quality of sleep was terrible. It almost seemed to be sleeping on a wooden plank. And so were the cushions. The bathroom towels were ”worn out” -colour of the towels were grey, not white. The shower cubicle had lots of limescale around the doors and water was pouring on the floor from below shower cubicle as the doors had no protective strips below. Breakfast was amazing in an elegant restaurant, coffee was made from a quality coffee machine - great taste! Air conditioning was of poor quality, noisy and it switched off automatically at 05:30am and could not be re-activated. There was no one in the reception to report the fault at 05:30am. Hotel had no members of staff on duty at this time in the morning. Generally not amazing.
