All good

The apartment was beautiful and had most appliances needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the access to high quality TV with a streaming service was very appreciated by us. The decor was beautiful and stylish. They left us a cold water bottle in the fridge, which was super nice. It provides towels, bathrobes, blow dryer, and even shampoo and shower gel. The pool was clean, modern, and refreshing. You share it with others. My partner and I rarely saw those other people so it mostly felt like we had the pool and whirlpool to ourselves. It is mandatory for people with long hair to wear swimming caps, which are provided by them. There are chairs to lie down and tan and there were tables to eat outside. There is a grill but we were unsure if we were allowed to use it.

It would have been nice if the landlord would have told us about the dogs. We are assuming the two big dogs belong to them, which they let walk outside freely sometimes. My partner is scared of big dogs so this became a problem. They could have at least introduced us to the dogs as that would have already helped my partner understand how they tick. The first time we noticed that there were dogs was when we were in the pool and a huge Doberman started circling the pool out of nowhere and we had no clue what was going on. There is also a locked door in the apartment that we assume leads to the room in their house where the dogs sleep. We could hear the dogs behind it in the evening. These are things that will worry someone who has this big fear of big dogs. So please, mention that you have them and if you are going to let them walk around unsupervised, then introduce your guests to them. They gave us a lot of information, which to be honest, became rather confusing at one point. At one point we thought the pool and whirlpool were not actually included although on booking it was insinuated. Their information needs to be more concise and straightforward. In the end, we did understand that the pool and whirlpool were included until 7pm, they were just offering us extra services for after 7pm. They communicated a lot but they didn’t communicate how to use the AC (if it even works). We needed it pretty late in the evening so there was no way of finding out how it works (I wasn’t about to text them at midnight). I tried hard to turn it on, and from my impression, the AC does not work. That was a huge bummer as it was so hot inside. If it does work, and I just couldn’t figure it out, then it would be nice for them to leave a manual in case somebody notices that they need it later in the evening. The breakfast was a bit of a bummer as it just consists of espresso capsules for the coffee and grocery store (packaged) filled croissants.

Nicely presented and immaculate.Great WiFi and easy going friendly host. Good nights sleep and shower . Secure parking

Nothing

the apartment is below the owner house. totally new. all is in very high standard. you can cook there & eat. the pool & Jacuzzi are the best - also here all is in very high standard. clean & beautiful. location is less then 10 minutes' drive from Parma city center. Paolo, the owner, was happy to assist with all requests. looks like he thought about all needs like Shampoo, conditioner etch. We loved it!!

Breakfast that was included in booking price was a disappointment. per the owner the booking order includes #1 in the below option. option 2 is ~10 Euro PP. 1) standard breakfast with milk, Italian coffee espresso, or tea, and italian croissant 2) traditional continental breakfast with in addition fresh orange juice, eggs, Parma ham, butter and local jams. comment - the "italian croissant" are industrial in plastic bags, not fresh. but - other than breakfast all was wonderful!

Extremely clean, easy parking, the outdoor area was fabulous. The pool and hot tub were wonderful! Hosts were just fabulous and friendly. Were able to rent bikes and go into Parma.

A little far from any restaurants, but there is a kitchen if you want to cook something; we didn’t. Breakfast was a little skimpy.
