Wonderful hosts with a passion for creating a comfortable and uniques stay for their guests .

What an amazing and unique place, everything has been placed with such creativity and care. Francisco and his wife were very accommodating and well organized! The breakfast was worth the trip itself! Wonderful place, wish we could have stayed longer ! Thank you so much!

A lovely Emilia farmhouse from the 1800s which has been modernized with every current comfort.

It was a thrill to be in the farmhouse after learning a bit of the history. Francesco has put so much work into it, and it was clearly a labor of love. The history and setting make Podere Merlo a special place. The hosts are generous and trusting to open up their library also with old books and magazines in several languages. The rooms are immaculately clean.

It would be helpful to have a sign on the opposite side of the road also (across from the driveway) since we missed the driveway initially.

Enchanting property in a tranquil setting with wonderful hosts.

A charming family farmhouse just outside the centre of Parma. The property has been lovingly restored and our room was very spacious and comfortable as well as full of character. Francesco and Angelica were very attentive hosts and we very much enjoyed our welcome glass of Prosecco and a wonderful breakfast.

We really enjoyed our stay at Podere Merlo and highly recommend it to others for visiting Parma if visiting by car.

We enjoyed everything about the property. It is a beautifully restored medieval farmhouse and Francesco was the most gracious of hosts, even though we showed up earlier than we said we would. Our room was very comfortable and large. Breakfast was amazing with the best cappuccino coffee. Francesco helped us organize a tour of a Parmigiano Reggiano factory and gave us fabulous recommendations for restaurants and museums in Parma. The location is great with plenty of parking if you’re traveling by car.

Great stay, highly recommended

Francesco and his wife were wonderful hosts. Great communication and support before and during the stay. The property is very charming and the breakfast was to die for.

Just be aware that the property is on the outskirts of the city, just off the highway. Once inside the grounds you do feel as though you’re in the countryside, but you can still hear the nearby traffic.

Authentic Italian experience with very welcoming hosts!

The hosts Francesco and Angelica were very kind. The property is a renovated farmhouse and it is very quaint and charming. Breakfast is impeccable with all cakes made by Angelica.

A bottle of water per person and a hot water boiler would be nice in the room.

Beautiful historic property with fantastic hosts!

Beautiful history property, exquisitely maintained. felt like a trip back in time to an 18th century Italian farm house. Francesco and Angelica were fantastic hosts, from the communication up front, check in, the delicious and highly personalized breakfast, to seeing us off at the end.

No complaints!

I am so glad I booked this.

I am very happy I stayed at this Gem: Great hospitality, lavender smelling bright ample rooms, fresh baked goods, amazing accommodations & genuine smiles that exceeded my expectations. Podere Merlo was the highlight of my stay in the region -and possibly italy-. Podere merlo is a 10 out of 10.

The property was wonderful the owners could not do enough for us and providing help when needed

We wanted a safe location to stay on our drive through the area which provided car parking. This met our need perfectly as it was only a 10 minute taxi ride outside of the main town.

We were very happy with everything so there was absolutely nothing we didn't like.

Lovely setting close to Parma

Welcoming staff, excellent breakfast and a comfortable room

The water was only luke warm at best in the shower, and there were strict rules about not eating or drinking anything but their supplied small bottle of water in the rooms. While this was easy to comply with, it would have been nice to have a common area elsewhere, with a kettle to make hot drinks

Visit Parma and stay at B&B Podere Merlo

The room was bright, attractive and very functional. It also had air-conditioning which was a real life saver in the extremely hot 🔥 weather. Bed was firm and comfortable, and the breakfast was varied and tasty.

I liked everything about this place and highly recommend it to travellers visiting Parma.

Come for the aesthetic, stay for the breakfast :)

Francesco was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and outlining the city of Parma. Breakfast was wonderful, we had the best panna cotta we have ever had and there were many fresh baked pastries and fresh from the garden fruits - absolutely wonderful! The room was very cozy and the vintage farm house décor was very charming.

Perfection

It is difficult to capture just how perfect this place is. Just outside the town of Parma, the sounds of crickets at night and birds chirping in the morning will lull you into one of the most restful sleeps and joyful awakenings of your trip. The building has been beautifully redone, retaining all of the old world charm and nostalgia travelers crave. The breakfast is an event - set in the picturesque dining room, delicious homemade items just keep coming and coming. The owners are delightful, their hard work and dedication to offering a wonderful experience for their guests is felt through all of their thoughtful details. Couldn't recommend this place enough, and a visit to charming Parma.

Perfect spot to stop for a night

Excellent and huge breakfast. Very helpful and friendly owners. Beautiful buildings

The only slight downside was the air con was in the corridor outside the bathroom, rather than in the bedroom, although it couldn't realistically go elsewhere

Awesome B&B just outside of Parma like stepping back into a kinder, gentler time.

Breakfast was exceptional with homemade yogurt, pastries, jams, etc. and accompanied with cappucinos and local hams. There were three in our party and we had a suite with two lovely bedrooms with a warm and inviting sitting room. There was also a large outdoor sitting area overlooking a large lawn and sitting area. Overall the property is beautifully restored and maintained by the owners Francesco and Angelica who were most gracious. One highlight was there recommendation of Simonetta as a local guide for a private four hour tour of Parma highlighting its history, culture, sights and recommendations for dining.
