Unlike the white sheet, cookie cutter template of a hotel, the repurposed factory/newspaper building felt like staying at a friend’s place who knows how to decorate. Learning how to enter and exit the facility was easy and modern. It made the place feel safer. The living room/dining room/common area was comfortable and beautiful with much information to learn more about Parma. The bed was very comfortable. Despite access closures on one side of the train station and having to go the long way around, it’s still very close to the train station. The owner is delightful. The morning breakfast is great. I even like the details of the decor and plants surrounding the freight elevator. Eco-friendly and aesthetic, affordable… it provided me very good value for my short stay in Parma.

Our room, with air conditioning and jacuzzi, as well as the whole house, were very clean and well maintained. A large fridge on the ground floor offers all guests a separate cooling compartment, already filled with drinks and can be filled further - an absolute Bravissimo ! 10 stars + It's a 10-minute walk to the old town walls, also ideal by bike, park your car in the courtyard and enjoy Lucca! A walk along and of top the city walls of Lucca is simply a must 😊 - A few hundred metres further ahead on the main road, there are shops and a small pizzeria, very simple, but simply good and tasty - pure Italia - sapore d' Italianità 😊 This wonderful B&B and the host are always a pleasure to return to - a 10 is not really enough as a rating – just a pleasant journey to make 😊
