Ξενοδοχεία με Parco dei Boschi di Carrega, Sala Baganza

Sanvitale Clean and beautiful rooms. Found in a castle courtyard the setting is stunning. Beautifully designed rooms with amazing features, coffee machine and bathroom all very good. Sadly our welcome was non existent and this really affected our stay. We arrived on a Sunday, when a huge market and festival was going on outside the hotel. We had received an email stating the time reception would be open. We planned our day around this and arrived when the reception was due to be open between 3-9pm. Sadly no one was there... Our keys were on the desk to collect, but no idea about where we could park our go for food that evening. It simply felt odd arriving and going to your room without speaking to anyone. We did find free parking but it was 300 metres away, not great with luggage. The booking said a free welcome drink... We didn't get that, but all we needed was a human being to welcome is and give us some guidance with parking and our two night stay a basic of customer service. Staff at breakfast were ok. The first day she was very grumpy and unfriendly. The second morning the lady was more friendly but no offer of a second coffee or if we needed anything else. We don't speak much Italian... But a smile guys a long way in any language. Cleaning was perfect... The rooms are lovely and we cannot fault that. We got room 203 which is directly above the breakfast room. Quiet for most of the day, however breakfast starts at 7am and it's noisy so don't expect to sleep in! Location is 25 mins from Parma and in a quiet town. We enjoyed it, however we wished we had more contact from staff. It feels like they don't want to spend the money on staff and expect guests to look after themselves!

I was allocated in a room in a separate building about 500m from the hotel building. This gives you some sort of feeling of independency and either the hotel or this additional site is close to town centre, everything is easily approachable by foot. The room was clean and spacious with its own balcony. The only thing I'd dispute is that although the place seemed fairly quiet I got a room with disabled bathroom, hard to understand why. The size of the TV is about the size of my tablet.

Visited this hotel on occasion of Cibus. Hotel is nicely presented, although is located outside Parma town. Rooms are ok, not too small but neither big. Good bathroom. Restaurant: breakfast ok, good choice of yogurts, juices and English breakfast too. Dinner: good a la carte menu plus salad buffet

Una sera, percorrendo l'A1 in direzione nord, mi sono trovato verso mezzanotte ancora lontano dalla mia destinazione; così, dopo una veloce ricerca, ho trovato questo albergo appena fuori dal casello di Parma, ho prenotato su Booking e all'una di notte sono finalmente arrivato; ho trovato alla concierge il signor Alessandro, che è stato gentilissimo. L'hotel è moderno e con un grandissimo parcheggio. La camera era pulita, con un letto di consistenza ottima, e un bagno all'altezza (il box doccia era grande e comodo). Colazione ricca e abbondante, prezzo in linea con i servizi offerti.

Really high level 4 star hotel. Very kind staff, large and clean room. Excellent breakfast.

This was a great place to stay, Super close to the train station walking distance to great restaurants. Hotel staff so friendly very helpful spoke English very well. Pascual at the bar also works the restaurant, also does room service he was amazing he is learning English but always helpful helpful. I read many comments about the air conditioning….. if you’re coming to Italy in the summer it’s gonna be hot no matter where you go. The air conditioner work for our room it wasn’t ice cold but it was nice and cool. do you want something positive though… The shower was amazing water pressure, nice and hot. Our room/suite was in the front ….no noise at all from the street, they had two sets of windows to block out the sound… So quiet we had to turn our sound machine on to sleep… I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Spend the $14 euros on breakfast the cappuccino machine is great staff is very friendly and the breakfast is filling.

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)

Good hotel,nice rooms, very clean. A parking lot is available directly next to the hotel. I recommend to take it Breakfast was good with a wide choice of things. However, the breakfast room is in the basement, that is, there are windows but you look onto the foundation if the building. There were two things I did not like: --The hotel is located next to the main railway station. We came back at 19 pm from a city walk and when we approched to hotel a lot of weird folks approached us e.g. groups of young man, junkies and generally weird persons. Some of the where really cooking crack 50 meters away from the hotels main entrance. This did not feel good. -The other thing was the fitness room. I had like 30 minutes in the morning,but the room was locked, although the reception desk told me it was open and I got no key though asking for it. So no gym for me.

We stayed here at the hight of Covid, and had the worse dinner and breakfast of any hotel we had ever stayed at, ie a microwaved pizza and breakfast pastry’s/bread 4 or 5 days old. I am so glad to say things have changed. We had a hot and tasty meal. Not gourmet, ( I don’t think residents of Parma would use it) but fuel for our journey. Not expensive. Breakfast was very good. The breakfast staff spoke good English which is not typical, and one of them even asked us if we had every we needed, and could she get us anything. Everything was nice and fresh and a good selection. You could have breakfast outside if you wished. As before the receptionist were very good, and the room also excellent, a very reasonable size. Suitable for more then a one day stay. Since our terrible experience we have been staying many times at the Hotel Real Fine Baia del Re in Modena, which has the most wonderful restaurant which the locals do use. But the hotel was fully booked. So, we have a choice in future.
