Hotels near Torre d'Oglio, Viadana

When I booked my room I chose the superior since it was written it had a living area with couch... well it doesn't exist. It does have a jacuzzi but it's way too small, hence you cannot relax much inside it. The room is big enough but it's old: you feel the breeze coming from the windows, mattress is to soft, and a very old and not warm cover. The room didn't come with sleepers and bath robe as described but as soon as i asked for them, they brought them. When we got to have breakfast we asked for scrambled eggs but the answer was: we don't have them anymore it's 9am... she said it in a way like it was late!!! Well a 4 star hotel must provide breakfast and a good service. Bread was taken with hands! 2 not very polite girls serving breakfast. Breakfast is very poor anyway. I don't think I'll choose it again

Una sera, percorrendo l'A1 in direzione nord, mi sono trovato verso mezzanotte ancora lontano dalla mia destinazione; così, dopo una veloce ricerca, ho trovato questo albergo appena fuori dal casello di Parma, ho prenotato su Booking e all'una di notte sono finalmente arrivato; ho trovato alla concierge il signor Alessandro, che è stato gentilissimo. L'hotel è moderno e con un grandissimo parcheggio. La camera era pulita, con un letto di consistenza ottima, e un bagno all'altezza (il box doccia era grande e comodo). Colazione ricca e abbondante, prezzo in linea con i servizi offerti.

We stayed here at the hight of Covid, and had the worse dinner and breakfast of any hotel we had ever stayed at, ie a microwaved pizza and breakfast pastry’s/bread 4 or 5 days old. I am so glad to say things have changed. We had a hot and tasty meal. Not gourmet, ( I don’t think residents of Parma would use it) but fuel for our journey. Not expensive. Breakfast was very good. The breakfast staff spoke good English which is not typical, and one of them even asked us if we had every we needed, and could she get us anything. Everything was nice and fresh and a good selection. You could have breakfast outside if you wished. As before the receptionist were very good, and the room also excellent, a very reasonable size. Suitable for more then a one day stay. Since our terrible experience we have been staying many times at the Hotel Real Fine Baia del Re in Modena, which has the most wonderful restaurant which the locals do use. But the hotel was fully booked. So, we have a choice in future.

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)

Had a one night stay here on business. On-site parking was availabe with plenty of spaces for the capacity of the hotel. Check-in was OK, had a short wait as there was only one member of staff checking people in and it was just after the working day so there was a number of people queing when I arrived. All hotel features/ammenities were explained during the check in process. Room was a standard Holiday Inn room with a large bed, small working area and large bathroom. I'm unsure if it was just my room or if all rooms had disabled access/support facilities around the room (such as low handrails etc). One issue was there was a single light in the bathroom that wouldn't turn off - unsure if this is a safety feature but with the door being part glass, it meant there was always an element of light in the room, even when trying to sleep. The walls/door also didn't offer very good soundproofing so I could hear everything going on in the corridor and surrounding rooms which meant that I didn't have a great nights sleep. The Wi-Fi was suitable for streaming, however I didn't test any business features but I would assume it would work well enough for those too. Overall an OK stay for one night - however I would have likely looked to move if I was in the area longer due to the lack of sound-proofing.
