Piumaviola Beds & Apartments

The room was spacious, great location and more than adequate breakfast for a B&B. Host was very responsive. Will not hesitate to recommend to others if anyone is planning a trip to Parma.

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)

Property itself was good, confirtable, and well decorated. Missing some lighting in the entrance (very dark at night when arriving). Recommended adding some table at the bathroom. Access to the property parking and entrance was not clearly labeled making it difficult. No communication with any person until checkout.. Everything was done via a code sent.

The room, the breakfast and very clean allá the áreas ando excelente servicio of the woman.

Excellent hotel. Excellent rooms and service. It is very close to the train station. It’s a quick 10 minute walk to central Parma. The first 5 minutes of the walk are through a kind of sketchy area. So just knkw that when you book. We had no problems when we walked it several times a

Modern and spacious, our loft unit was more than enough space. The updated features in the unit were great. While Parma is small, the location was just enough outside the city center to make walking back at night just a little bit stressful even though Parma is relatively safe. It was only 1-2 minute walk to the train station so that was a plus. There was a little confusion on my check in process and where exactly the unit was, but we were able to call them and figure it out right away. Coordinating and communicating with the hotel was easy and they were very responsive to my questions. If they were 2-3 blocks closer to the city center, I would stay here again as everything else made for a great stay.

Loved this hotel! It was close to the train station. We were welcomed to our room early which gracious due to our train getting in ahead of check in time. The room was comfortable, stylish, and clean. We loved the modern vibe. The breakfast in the morning was plentiful and delicious. We will definitely be returning here!

The property is Conveniently located and stylishly decorated. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with a nice variety. Parking is secured at night. Highly recommend!
