Location
Nestled in a serene environment, Villa D&D offers an extraordinary location just outside the center of Parma. This peaceful retreat presents a well-restored farmhouse in the midst of nature, surrounded by beautiful and pleasant surroundings which provide an optimal setting for relaxation.

The tranquil setting offers the best of both worlds: isolation amidst greenery and fields, yet proximity to the city center. Guests have praised the accessibility with many highlighting that it takes just a short drive—typically 7 to 10 minutes—to reach the city. Moreover, the location caters well to those traveling by car with ample parking available on-site.
Despite its countryside charm, Villa D&D ensures that the modern conveniences and attractions of Parma are within easy reach. It's an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas of Emilia-Romagna. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere, combined with the strategic placement, makes it an optimal choice for both short stays and extended visits, offering tranquility away from the city’s chaos while remaining close to all that Parma has to offer.
