B&B Pio

Top choice in Parma


Location, comfort and hospitality all come together at this B&B run by a gregarious owner with a passion for local food and wine. Four lower-floor doubles and a kitchenette-equipped upper-floor suite share attractive features such as beamed ceilings, antique textiles and ultra-modern fixtures.

All guests share access to a small but bright top-floor coffee room, and breakfast is taken down the street at a local cafe.
