Stayed as a couple, the structure is normal with a helpful owner. The breakfast is typical Italian: croissants, jams, milk, and coffee, decent but lacks gluten-free options. Slippers would be needed as the floor is quite cold.

Great B&B with spacious, clean rooms equipped with a fridge, TV, hairdryer, and clean linens. The room is part of a corridor with a door, so there is privacy. It is also ideal for those who need to go to the Hospice Piccole Figlie. The owner Giovanni is a kind person who gave us all the possible information to make things easier. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

tazio

We had a great time, the apartment is very large and comfortable. The only flaw is the absolute prohibition of using the kitchen even with very young children present (it could have been useful for preparing baby food or a small pasta).
stayed from 10/31/2019 to 11/03/2019
The answer from the host:
Grazie Tazio per la tua recensione. Mi è spiacenti tanto non potervi dare la possibilità di usare la cucina, ma le circostanze del particolare momento durante il ponte dei Santi non ci poteva consentire l’utilizzo, come da ns. accordi pregressi. Ci ha fatto molto piacere avervi avuto come graditi ospiti e siete sia voi che i vostri amici, sempre i nostri graditi benvenuti! A presto. Un caro saluto a voi tutti, Giovanni.

The place is quite good, I stayed in an apartment by myself and I should say that you could easily live there: an open space with a sofa, a king-size bed, a full optional kitchen, the bathroom is spacious and clean.

We enjoyed very much our stay at the B&B al Ducale, located in a very convenient position with a classical music theme. The room was very spacious and the beds comfortable. It is within walking distance of the historic part of Parma. Our host made us feel at home, even bringing a large breakfast tray in the morning and recommending restaurants. The hot water in the bathroom is very, very hot. If it were me, I would try to adjust the water temperature down a bit, but this is a minor point.

We arrived on the 3rd of October and left on the 6th of October, we found this B&B on the internet and chose it for its proximity to our daughter's accommodation, so we had no particular expectations. We immediately noticed Paolo's friendliness as he welcomed us, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the surprise came when we met the owner Giovanni, fantastic, helpful, and kind. It will be our base for future trips to Parma. The breakfast could be improved, but it was more than compensated by the kindness we received. See you soon, Antonella and Luigi.

Cozy apartment, helpful and kind owner. The bathroom, although quite spacious, is uncomfortable due to the close arrangement of the fixtures. A luggage rack is missing in the room. Breakfast could be more complete in a few steps: adding some toast or cookies to accompany the coffee and milk would be enough. An empty croissant per person, served with jams, is not sufficient especially when choosing not to use the kitchen.
