Al Ducale was perfect for our introductory stay in Parma; and Giovanni was the perfect host! Our (upgraded) 'room' was actually more like a small apartment; spacious and very comfy all around. The small kitchen was well-equipped; and we had an apartment size refrigerator to keep water and additional groceries to supplement the good but limited breakfast options. This B&B was situated very close to the old city center - perfect for strolling the quiet neighborhood, shopping, and sightseeing - even on a rainy day! We would highly recommend Al Ducale B&B in Parma!

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. Giovanni is also an excellent host, always available and polite. This B&B is also centrally located and everything is within walking distance.
stayed from 09/27/2019 to 10/02/2019
The answer from the host:
Many thanks for your great feedback. Very kind of you. You are always welcome. See you soon Giovanni.

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.
stayed from 08/06/2018 to 08/07/2018
The answer from the host:
Many thanks for you kind message and we will adjust the hot water temperature for sure. We are very happy to have you as a kind guests and you are always welcomed! See you next time. Ciao, Giovanni.

A small and well-kept hotel with very friendly service. It was very clean, the owners waited for us until late at night because we arrived later due to traffic jams. The location is central, the old town is easy to reach. Recommended!

Mr. Giovanni is very kind and helpful (as well as very pleasant). The property is well maintained and welcoming. The only negative note, in our opinion, is the excessively high price for the offer but, unfortunately, in line with the average prices in Parma.

The structure is located in a historic building near the center. The room is quite large, but not the bathroom. Breakfast is served in the room and must be ordered the day before. The location is optimal for walking in the center of Parma. You can ask the owner for a pass at the cost of 8 euros to park on the street under the structure, reserved for residents.

The owner of the property is a very kind gentleman who was able to fulfill all my requests. The room is very large and classy. The abundant breakfast and the blue stripe parking permit particularly pleased me. The only downside was the difficulty in finding the place, but it was evening and I was coming from a particularly stressful day. Highly recommended.

I was left speechless. The room was super welcoming and I felt very comfortable there. The only downside was the stairs, which were a bit steep, but there is little that can be done about that. Finally, the manager was very kind. I would definitely return if I ever had to go back to Parma.

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.

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.

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.
