Villino di Porporano

Villa is family run and offers a welcoming, gracious experience. The owner Elena is incredibly kind and helpful and she makes you feel so special as a guest. She went out of her way to help us, even doing our laundry. Breakfast was fantastic and elegant, morning chef was outstanding. Each day was a different delicious warm baked item, so there was the suspense each day, what will be the yummy offering? On our second morning, they surprised me at breakfast by having bought plain yogurt - so thoughtful and kind as I inquired about it the day prior, but didn't expect them to then go get some. Location was perfect as were were busy driving around to several food tours. And each night, it was an easy drive into Parma, where we loved the parking garages on the edges of town (along with the numbered spaces - brilliant!) Overall, this villa is charming and extremely quiet, no noise at all. We would absolutely positively definitely stay here again.

This lovely villa is set in a bucolic neighborhood just a few miles outside of Parma. Elena, the owner and host has made sure each guest is welcomed and pampered with a wonderful breakfast each morning, and ideas and arrangements regarding special culinary tours of the area, or trips to nearby Bologna and Modena. All her staff is as equally charming and engaging as Elena and we missed them all the minute we left. Special bonus, Zoe, the cutest little cocker spaniel ever!

Excellent accomodation near Parma We had a ery pleasent stay in March 2023. Lovely Elena did the utmost to make our stay memorable - kept the place clean and very well maintained and prepared very good eggs for breakfast. She also served breakfast early in the morning to enable us to attend the tour in San Pier Damiani factory nearby.

Garden of heaven, on earth Best stay we have had in a long time. Service is perfect and it’s the most beautiful place. Very close to Parma, however completely quiet and calm. Elena is the best host ever.
