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.

시설이 깔끔하고 넓어서 아주 마음에 듭니다. 기본적으로 상주직원이 없어서 메일 내용을 잘 확인해야 합니다. 트립닷컴 PIN과 메일PIN이 달라 헷갈렸는데 메일로 온 PIN을 사용하면 됩니다.

Una antica fabbrica ristrutturata che mantiene un fascino industriale ma moderno. La titolare è gentilissima e molto accogliente. I mobili antichi danno un tocco davvero unico.

The mother/daughter who operate this Bed & Apartment were the nicest owners we encountered on our month-long journey. They had an aura of being kind and caring of their visitors. The place is spotless, unique, inexpensive and could not be closer to those traveling to Parma by train.

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)

Easy to park, secure and easy access which was very well organised. The decor was fabulous and perfectly clean and stylish. Attention to detail was fantastic. The owner was welcoming and full of smiles. I could live there! Breakfast was good and in a lovely shared environment.
