About

What we offer you is not just a simple B&B service, but a moment of relaxation to share with us the simple family atmosphere in our home built by our grandfather in the 50's. This moment starts with breakfast, so lovingly prepared by mum Gisella. The cakes and pies she makes are very well known and appreciated in the area and among our guests, this is because we use very fresh and genuine ingredients such as eggs from our hen–house, fresh milk from the farm of Sergio, our good neighbour, home made butter, jam and marmalade. Then, after a satifying breakfast, you will be ready to take on the day and vistit our wonderful countryside and places of interest.

Rooms

The bedrooms are upstairs where there are two communal bathrooms. We have transformed the old loft under roof on the 2nd floor into a very spacious and comfortable attic room (50 sq.mts.), all in wood, from where you have a great view of the landscape from the plains to the Appennines. This room is ideal for families of 4/5 people, but it's much appreciated by young couples too, thanks to its romantic style.

Location

We are situated in the very centre of the "little world" that slice of land which is fat and flat which is between the river and the mountain – the Po and the Appennines, as described by our very own famous writer Guareschi and creator of the infamous characters Peppone and Don Camillo. This area is also called Bassa Parmense which corresponds to the plain in the north part of the Parma province.
