Bed & Breakfast

IL GHIRONE

FACILITIES AND ROOMS

We have 3 rooms: 1 double/twin ensuite room (with private shower and toilet); 1 double/twin room, and 1 triple room (double bed plus extra single bed) with a large bathroom in common, for exclusive use of the two rooms, in a private part of the house. All rooms are non-smoking and with TV set. All 'double' beds are about the size of King Size beds. In the morning you will enjoy a rich continental breakfast featuring organic products from our farm and Emilian specialities (such as Parmeasan cheese, Parmeasan ham, erbazzone, home-made pies). The house is surrounded by a beautiful Italian garden with trees, in a quiet countryside spot. Free off-street parking in our large courtyard.

"Il Ghirone" B&B is the perfect place for either visiting Northern Italy or relaxing and having some rest while on your way to Central and Southern Italy: it is only 2 hours away from the borders with Switzerland and Austria (or from Malpensa airport), less than 1 h 30' from Milan Linate airport, 15 minutes away from Parma airport, and 10 minutes from the nearest A1 motorway exit.

Our Bed and Breakfast is in a very convenient location right in the middle of Northern Italy, halfway between Milan (1 hour and a half away by car/train) and Bologna (less than 1 hour), in the heart of the so-called Food Valley. Other cities you can visit easily on a one day trip are Ferrara (1h 40'), Golfo di La Spezia and Cinque Terre (1h 20-40'), Rimini (2h), Florence, (2h), Venice (2h 30').

The historical nearest cities to our B&B are Parma (15 minutes away) - beautiful capital of an ancient duchy, with a long tradition of Opera theatre, homeland to Verdi - and Reggio Emilia (20') - heart of the medioeval kingdom of Matilda of Tuscany. Wonderful castles and courts, from the middle ages, the renaissance period, and the Napoleonic era are scattered along the hills and lowlands of Parma and Reggio Emilia, artistic jewels to be discovered with our deliciously rich cuisine and our wine tradition.

You can also visit the river Po and the village of Brescello (10 minutes away) - known as the original location for the "Peppone e Don Camillo" movies, with a nice dedicated museum. 
A popular local museum is the Museo Cervi next to the Campegine-Terre di Canossa motorway exit, dedicated to the old rural-agricoltural world and to the history of World War II Italian anti-fascist Resistance, in the very home of the Cervi brothers, famous resistance fighters. Art exhibitions, musical and theatre festivals are held here, especially in the spring and summer months.

Here at our B&B you can relax with long walks on the green banks of the river Enza or you can cycle along quiet countryside roads or cycling paths, among villas, courts and Romanesque churches.
