What can we say, from the moment we emailed the lovely Martina at Villa Fiorita the service was just impeccable. We were treated immediately as though we were long lost family. We were over for a large family birthday party, so there were a fair few of us staying at the hotel, in fact we took it over. When we arrived we were met by the lovely Martina who was so welcoming and prompt with our check in. As the rest of our family had already arrived we were told about the most amazing Aperol Spritz that the lovely Paola made and it didn't disappoint. They are THE BEST Aperol Spritz in Italy and a fair few were ordered throughout our stay...Hotel Villa Fiorita is a beautiful traditional building and every room was stunningly decorated in traditional styles. All the wonderful staff treated all of us like extended family Anna, Roberto in the restaurant and Paolo, not forgetting Cico who was on hand at night when we arrived late back from our family party . The hotel has a wonderful feel to it, and it was such a wonderful experience staying there. Our room was a superior double which was on the corner of the house and was very spacious, with a large bathroom with whirlpool bath, we cannot fault anything at all. Bed was very comfortable and all amenities fabulous. It's a family run hotel with Luigi and Patrizia, Martina's, parents, at the helm, and not forgetting, the lovely Nonna, Rosetta. And of course not to forget Polli,I the gorgeous dog that runs around outside, but very very friendly. The hotel is situated in a great location very near to the centre of Salsomaggiore where there are plenty of restaurants and shops and lovely streets to explore. We only ate breakfast in the hotel, but this was exceptional with a large variety of tasty food available. We will most definitely return to Hotel Villa Fiorita if only to meet up with our "new" family once again. If you book here you will not be disappointed. Brian and Camilla Rothery July 2023.
