Antico Casale Caroli

A beautiful location outside Parma surrounded by fields and away from the main road. Spacious rooms overlooking the fields and waking to the green and the sunrise. The breakfast room led into a garden in a beautifully converted building. a

There is not enough off road parking for everyone who stays. However when you are on site, it feels a very safe place on the road. Some recommendations for evening meals would have been helpful.

Quiet location. We were there for one night and this was the perfect place for what we were there to do. The host was friendly, helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was good.

The internet was not great.

We had a nice, comfortable stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The suite was very spacious, clean and comfortably furnished. It even had a nice size refrigerator with water, wine and beer for an extra charge. The staff is very kind, attentive and friendly. They kindly accommodated us last minute with our little dog. Breakfast was SO fresh and yummy. We could smell the pasties being prepared as we went downstairs. Davide welcomed us and made us great cappuccini. We look forward to returning on our next trip north. Grazie mille per tutti!

Two small items would have made our stay even better: 1) replacing the older small TV with a large Smart TV in the suite so we could stream movies on Netflix or watch YouTube 2) having a simple pod-type coffee machine with pods and sugar packets for 2-4 people so we could make our first cup of coffee in the room before breakfast hours. Other than that, it is a beautiful, relaxing place.

Clean. Breakfast was standard.

Spartan. Not welcoming. Remote location with not many offerings, e.g. outdoor seating, kettle in the room, water, etc. You can buy drinks from the fridge but it was not plugged in. There was just one drinking glass for two people. We asked for two wine glasses, the operator told me to take them from any room and they will charge €5. The door and the roof of the room is very sensitive to any movements outside of the room. The door moves from any movements from the corridor, draught, people moving. We stayed in Room 2 and our neighbours upstairs were moving around a lot with their suitcases and we were disturbed by the noises. It was past midnight. My husband had trouble falling asleep. There are iron bars outside the windows - a feeling not so peaceful as if you were behind bars.
