Room is well appointed and love the little balcony that one can walkout if you need some fresh air. Breakfast Buffet was included in my room rate and the spread is good with 5+ choices of fresh juices alone! The hot table though a little weak with sad looking scrambled eggs. I do enjoy their fresh fruits (mega sized kiwi!) Good to use as a Hub to explore the surrounding area or just explore Parma. Tips: There is a supermarket less than 5 minute walks away if you want to stock up on wines and water.

The location was really nice. The small locked parking garage was about half a block or so away. Our room was clean and spacious. The shower was really tight and a step up, but by this time I learned that spaces were creatively used in Italy and these things become the stuff of identifiable memories. Our host was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend contacting the host if you find yourself in Parma.

They are very accommodating to odd check in/check out hours and offer a standard Italian breakfast (simple) with fresh pastries. Ask for a room on the top floor as they are quieter - not so much from outside noise (the motorcycles and mopeds can always be heard), but from the late night antics of other patrons that will happen from time to time. Hey, Parma is a romantic city! There is typical Italian parking in front of and behind the hotel (= tiny places), but I always had plenty of room to maneuver a 5 series bimmer. The Venetian chandeliers are very beautiful making this a nice, small boutique hotel from which to base your business or tourist trip.

Oh Villa di Porporano, I keep calling you porcupine but I really mean well, trust me. This French…read morechateau meets Italian villa is located about 15 minutes from the center of Parma (so you need a car) and I stayed for only one night. Which is too bad because I really loved it. Driving there might have you in a tizzy, the neighborhood is very residential and nothing too special but the Villa itself is amazing, Elena the owner has created a paradise here, a beautiful bed & breakfast, as romantic as they come, in a large and gorgeous garden. Our room 'le dame' was perfect, very Italian romantic, with sheets as tight as you can get them, with antique furniture and everything impeccably clean, the bath products were of the highest quality, I was impressed to see that they give their guests Ortigia (which is famous from Sicily) and conditioner. Seriously hotels in Italy never have conditioner. Elena herself is a very nice person, she gives you a map and suggestions (which are great) on where to eat in town, visit and park. I saw on trip advisor that some douchebag said her parking suggestion was expensive, instead I assure she actually gave a spot on place as I checked with several different people on the parking situation in Parma. Essentially in many Italian towns that preserve their historical center, you want to avoid driving into the ZTL or limited traffic zones when not authorized, doing otherwise can make you incur really hefty fines which is no fun when you're on holiday! One of the best things about Villino di Porporano was breakfast, beautifully laid out with a selection of both savory and sweet options. I loved the various cakes she had on offer and you can ask for an egg cooked to order. She also keeps her butter in a glass case which always wins me over. My cappuccino was huge and just what the doctor ordered after one has drunken a bottle of wine the night before. They are pet-friendly and our beagle quickly became the duchess of Parma getting acquainted in their large and closed garden. Elena has two dogs who are both friendly (one has arthritis, poor girl!). For those looking for a friendly and welcoming oasis from Parma, this is the perfect hideaway that won't break the bank, so much better than the faceless hotels you tend to see in some of these smaller towns.

The extensive gardens, pool and patio areas are all designed for serenity and relaxation. Each day at Villino starts with an amazing traditional Italian breakfast over which you will want to linger for an extended period of time. Elena greets guests at each table with a delightful smile and "buon giorno!" She brings you all the coffee you care to drink - cappuccino, espresso, cafe Americano. I highly suggest you also sign up for one or two cooking classes taught by Elena. We had a wonderful time learning how to make hand-made gnocchi and pasta, melanzane di parmigiana, beef involtini, as well as sides dishes and desserts. The cooking classes are family affairs as Elena's delightful daughters help out in the kitchen and one of her sons is called upon to fetch fresh herbs from the garden. After five nights at Villino di Porporano we felt like part of the family. When looking for cooking classes in Parma, make sure you book directly with this property and not with an over-priced tour company.

I didn't expect much when I booked a room for two for two nights via Booking.com. The price is very…read morereasonable considering it's right there in the old city of Parma, but then again Parma is a very small town and most people would probably prefer to stay in nearby Milan or neighbouring Bologna. The hotel is very convenient, everything is at walking distance in Parma, so it's not so difficult to walk back to your room when you've had too much lambrusco and ham. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Our room is clean and the bathroom is modern although the room decoration itself is a fail imitation of some French renaissance bedroom, but that of course didn't matter much to us. We didn't get the breakfast so we couldn't review that one, but I would advise you to just get a brioche and capuccino somewhere rather than paying 12 eur for hotel breakfast. Do it the Italian way ;)

Our spacious, impeccably decorated and spotless room was on the top floor, with a view of the piazza.
