Relais Fontevivo

The breakfast was fine.

We wanted to have dinner in the restaurant but it was closed resulting in us travelling to Fontanellato for dinner. The Booking.com site makes no mention of the restaurant being closed on particular days and our booking confirmation also made no mention of the closure on a Monday. So fellow travellers, if you want to use the restaurant, and it is a very good restaurant when open, do check before booking whether it will be open on the days you wish to use it.

Location was amazing, so peaceful. Room was lovely, attached restaurant was delicious. Also found a great pizzeria a 5 min walk away from the property. Staff were all nice, and also accommodating.

Our room needed a bit of maintenance. There was no door on the shower, the radiator wouldn’t turn off and on our second morning there was no hot water to shower. Despite that it was a nice stay though!

I adored this place due to the building's historical background and it's repurposing. As a photographer, I appreciate being in a photogenic setting, and the indoor courtyard of this accommodation was unquestionably worth capturing. Ideal for a single-night stay. Also very suitable for traveling with a dog. My canine companion was permitted in the breakfast room.

It was absolutely fantastic, I wish the staff and Fontevivo all the best and I hope they will get enough guests, so they can keep this hotel running. If I am near Parma again I will definitely go back. Highly recommended, you get way more for your money than you could ever ask for!

Was perfect

I liked the comfortable bed and the way the hotel has been developed with modern and clean rooms in a traditional, family hotel. If I had been staying more than one night I think I would have wanted a bigger room but for two people and a large dog it was fine for a stopover in the middle of a three day drive. I found the place restful. There is a Franciscan friary nearby and some lovely walks. The food is traditional and plentiful and there is an interestingwine list that focuses on French Mediterranean wines rather than the Lorraine and Alsace. There are some natural and skin contact wines too. Food is very local though.

Not much. Maybe a bigger room? There is little to dislike here.

We love this hotel. There is so much history in the building and it is great that the restoration has not tried to change too much of the integrity of the original monastery. The hotel offers great value for money if you are willing to go a little way off the motorway. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant offers good quality food and breakfast is varied and filling! Parking is on site at the side of the property, and there is plenty of room for cars.

Given the price, what is on offer is great value for money.

The hotel is in a beautiful, historic abbey. The on site restaurant is excellent with great service, and delicious food which looked and tasted amazing! The staff are friendly and helpful.

What an absolute gem of a place this is. It's so unique and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and even have air con. Great breakfast and very good value for money. There are huge museum type rooms leading to what were the monks' cells transformed in comfortable bedrooms.

Nothing

Very good hotel. Room was clean and suff was very nice and kind.

A better directions how to reach the hotel, where is hotel parking - in general more guidance outside the hotel.

Very unique stay in old monk quarters. Beds were comfy and staff were very nice and friendly. Highly recommend the restaurant at the monastery, beautiful local food and wine.

Noise travels quite a lot between the rooms.
