ピウマヴィオラ

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.

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.

Stayed 2 nights in Piumaviola and loved it. Big room, quiet and clean, with all the comfort you need. It was nice to be able to use a common room, where you can take fresh drinking water and can make coffee and tea, the whole day round. There were even yummie chocolates at the table. Breakfast is in the same room and was a small buffet and it was good. Kindly people who are running the place. It is very close to the trainstation and at walking distance from the city centre. There is a very good pizzeria just around the corner. Recommended.

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)

Stayed here for two nights. Rooms are CLEAN, very cute,comfortable and well taken care of. Lots of thoughtful touches. Run by a delightful woman and her daughter who are as nice as can be. We stayed in room with a loft bedroom, kitchen, living room and bath downstairs. Nice breakfast, super close to train station. 4-5 minute walk. Neighborhood is on the border of nice and feels just a tiny bit sketchy to a tourist like myself, but the rooms are at the interior of a group of building and very safe, secluded and quiet. Easy walk to the city center and good recommendations for food in Parma from the owners. 100% recommendation. Well, WiFi a little weak in our unit (#1) where the streaming didn’t work well but really not a big deal.

Very good location, close to center. Room was extraordinary, very nice interior, decoration. Bathroom with large hot tub and extra shower. Marianna very polite, was so nice to talk with her.Breakfast very good. Ambient perfect! Very clean. Definitely recommend! We will come back again!
