The en suite in master bedroom had been ripped out revealing damp rubble

Vincenzo gave us secure parking in his underground garage for our motorbikes

Unfortunately the garden was not as good as I expected - near the house entrance there is a quite worn garden swing, a table with 3 chairs and a barbecue. I hoped for some kind of nice seating area, preferably with an umbrella, on the lawn. We couldn't really enjoy it - it is also a resident area, so we didn't feel comfortable staying out late, as we didn't want to disturb the neighbours. Second of all, the house is getting very hot during summer and there is no A/C - we knew about that, so I'm not taking it against the owners, but it is worth mentioning for anyone who could be more susceptible to high temperatures. Even with the external shutters closed during the day to protect the inside of the house from a direct sunlight and all the fans on (there was a fan in each bedroom and we got an extra one during our stay), it was very very hot inside. We had to keep the windows open during the night, however it didn't help that much and later obviously caused a neverending battle with mosquitos.

The house is spacious (6 ppl can fit there easily), clean and well-equipped. There is a king size bed in one bedroom and twin beds, that can be easily pushed together, in the other one + 2 beds in the living room. In the kitchen we found everything we needed. The bathroom is quite big, it looked as it was undergoing some kind of renovation, but it was fully functional. The owner's family lives just next door, so in case of any problem, we could get help immediately. The house is located not far from Parma and it's a good spot for road trips in the area (we visited Cinque Terre, Lake Garda, Parma, Modena and Bologna). The neighbourhood itself is very pretty as well.

Really hard to point out anything :)

Vincenzo is a very nice person, very open. Although he doesn't speak English he takes effort to translate Italian to your local language. He's very helpful. The place gives a lot of freedom and is very spacious. Easily 6 people can sleep comfortably here. It is in the calm area. The interior is not new and is kept in the "old times" style but it was clean.

What a wonderfull place to stay with our family on our way through Italy! We needed a place to rest and relax from our long drive and Vicenzo's Apartment was perfect! Spacious, cool, lovely, safe garden for our kids. A leafy residential street with shady parking, at the end you can walk directlty into the fields. Vicenzo was a charming and very accommodating host. We left with a large chunk of parmesan from Alessandro(just down the street) as a memory!

In general, bottom floor of the house where we stayed was clearly neglected,not taken good care of. We couldn't use the kitchen equipment,they were full of stain. Similarly the sheets and pillowcases had stains, we had to put additional case on. Garbage bags were half full of garbage from previous visitors. Spider webs behind couches. Sorry Vincenzo, but you better keep the place cleaner.

The only thing we liked was the smiling face of Vincenzo. There are few supermarkets and pizza shops within 3-5 minutes driving distance.

The location was great for us - We had booked a tour of a local parmesan cheese facility and Vincenzo's place was only a 15 minute drive away (important since the tour started at 8:45am). Vincenzo was a great host and very friendly. He spent some time describing things we could do locally. It turns out he has a friend at another nearby parmesan facility only 2 minutes drive from his house. So, he took us on an informal tour of that facility after we got back from our first tour (and the cheese was even cheaper there). Above and beyond for a host.

Friendly hosts strive to do everything for the comfort of guests. Cleanliness, pleasant well-groomed area, parking space near the house. It was a pleasure to stay here!

We spent a few days in the apartment of Vincenzo. It was a lovely and relaxing stay during our trip to Italy. The house is spaceous, clean and well equiped. It has a beutifull garden as well, thus we find refresment at the end of the day. It is not far from Parma app. 20 minutes, the city Felino is full of prosecuto factory. The Castle of Torrechiara is also worth visiting nearby(5 mins). Vincenzo and his family were very charming and helpful.
