Downtown Parma hotel, Italy

Hotel Verdi, Parma

Set on Via Pasini, this Parma hotel lies in the centre of this historic city. This is a town for art, music and opera lovers, and for gourmets. For centuries, Parma has been an important crossroads in Europe - lying at the meeting point of the ancient Via Emilia and Via Francigena. Today it is just as important for trade and commerce, for conferences, tourism and business meetings. There are a host of interesting itineraries available, with much to discover in the historic town centre.

The Hotel Verdi, Parma is a very exclusive and recently restored Art Nouveau villa with Liberty furniture. An elegant and refined ambience typifies this four-star hotel - you can relax into the sumptuous splendour of an earlier age while being sure that you're forgoing none of the modern comforts. The hotel has 20 guest rooms, a mix of singles, doubles and suites. All are welcoming and spacious, all with every facility necessary to make for a peaceful and pleasurable stay. Every room is fitted with wooden parquet flooring, briarwood furnishings in a period design, fine linens, minibar, television and a room safe. The private bathrooms are fitted in marble and come with luxurious soaps and body oils (plus the essential hairdryer of course). All rooms have individually controllable air conditioning.

The public areas at this hotel in Parma complement the rooms very nicely. Sheer draperies suffuse the gentle glow of the sunlight, reflecting off the black and gold of the marble floors. The front hall leads into a lounge - a pleasant spot for a drink or a chat. The bar and the breakfast room are also found on the ground floor. The Santa Croce restaurant, right next door, has period furnishings and paintings - a marvellous space in which to enjoy traditional Parma cuisine and fine Italian wines. There is a large room for business meetings and banquets while, in the summer, the verdant courtyard allows for outdoor dining.
