Best Western Plus Hotel Farnese

This hotel - and Parma itself - were delightful revelations. When we arrived we were greeted with a really warm welcome from an extremely friendly lady at reception who took the time to explain everything to us really clearly. The quality of the room and its facilities were excellent, with high quality furnishing and fittings, and all cleaned spotlessly. The food in the hotel was excellent - we had a superb lunch on the first day and we then had dinner on the second day. It was great to have an outdoor pool in which to relax the end of the day, and the hotel provided towels etc for this. Getting to and from the town of Parma was a short taxi ride (€7-10 depending on the time of day) and the hotel organised this very willingly. The taxi always arrived in less than 5 minutes. As for Parma itself there is lots to do and see, and we found an excellent 2 hour walking tour at the tourist office in the centre for €15 each. We had an excellent guide who explained the history of the city from Roman times, and showed us the main buildings and places of interest. It's a place to which we will return as we only stayed for 2 nights, and we won't even think about using any other hotel when we do.

Nothing!
