Tricolore Hotel, near Reggio Emilia & Parma

Tricolore Hotel, near Reggio Emilia

Lying between Reggio nell'Emilia and Parma, the Tricolore Hotel is a brand-new three star establishment (though arguably offering the services of a higher grade of hotel). The accommodation is set on the ancient Via Emilia (the Roman road that bisects the Emilia-Romagna region from south-east to north-west).

Lying in Villa Gaida, 8km from Reggio, 13km from Parma and 65km from Bologna (to which most visitors will fly), within easy reach of Modena and in the heart of the superb and varied countryside of the Emilia-Romagna region of north Italy, this hotel is perfectly placed for making the most of the region, with quick connections around northern and central Italy.

Rooms at this hotel near Reggio Emilia are single, double, twin or triple, all with radio, minibar, bathroom with bathtub and shower, wireless internet access, phone, air conditioning, work desk and TV. There is a bar, restaurant, parking, garden, rooms for guests with limited mobility, and non-smoking rooms available. A buffet breakfast is served each morning, and the hotel has sauna, solarium and massage facilities.

A short drive takes you into historic Reggio Emilia, which developed as a staging post along the Via Emilia as the Romans built the road some 2000 years ago. An historically important town, this was the sight of the first unveiling of the new tricolour flag which would fly over the united Italy from the 19th century (hence the name of your hotel). There is a fine medieval heart to the town, with cobbled streets and much of it now pedestrianised. Major sights include the Cathedral, the Basilica di San Prospero, the Basilica della Ghiara, Christ's Oratory and the Palazzo Ducale. See too the Palazzo Comunale with the Tricolour Room and the intriguingly named Torre del Bordello.
