Arrived before 9pm. No-one expecting us. No 'Reception' as such to check in at! Eventually we found our rooms. This is essentially an academic establishment, part of Parma University, which rents out a few badly maintained rooms and cares not a jot about the guests other than to welcome receipt of their funds. Poor and very small menu. Worse is the "Wine List". No wines at all at normal prices. We were advised that they only had 2 white wines - the cheaper was 35 euros a bottle, the other over 50! I see that other reviewers have complained about this too. On choosing the former it turned out to be a cheap white for which I would have expected to pay around 10 - 12 euros - decent supermarket quality. Accommodation frankly dirty, with a kitchen area without a sink or drinking water. Disrepair to walls and ceilings, and innumerable cobwebs. Add to that some extremely odd explicit paintings that are certainly not designed add to the quiet enjoyment of the quarters. Breakfast was limited choice and a nightmare as the cook's son was encouraged to play around us with his extremely shrill and noisy battery-operated robot toy, not to mention the cook herself wandering into the dining area and sneezing into her bare hands before returning to the kitchen. Against that, I can only set the interesting sculptures that adorn the grounds, the maintenance of which your stay is undoubtedly contributing to. Doesn't quite compensate I'm afraid. Good luck, if you're feeling brave,

If you are coming here expecting an atmospheric historic hotel location you may be disappointed. This is basically a museum (part of the university and seems to be closed much of the time) and there are a few rooms which are adjoining the building. Although generous in size, these are student dormitory accommodation standard and if you have a lot of luggage you have to drag it across gravel from the car park and up a flight of stairs (no lift). Our room did not seem to have been used for some time as there was a musty smell when we went in. The building is very interesting (an old abbey) but it is in an isolated location surrounded by farms and industrial buildings. The location is convenient for the A1 highway but some distance outside Parma (don't book it unless you have a car). While it's interesting to visit, we found it eerie to spend the night there. Communication is a challenge if you don't speak Italian as the staff speak little English.

This is a very unique property for a hotel. It is just north of Parma in an ancient Abbey situated in the farmlands. Very quiet yet very close to the Autostrada. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. Plentiful breakfast. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Unusual to say the least
Locanda Abbazia Di Valserena is far from being a normal stay. It is housed in an old building which was once an abbey and is now a modern art gallery connected with the University of Parma. Unfortunately we were just passing through so didn’t see the art works - other than the statues in the grounds. The welcome was very friendly. The room was large and clean and the bed enormous. There was no TV but we don’t mind that at all !! It’s situation is just outside Parma but in quiet rural surroundings. All in all a most pleasant stay.

This place was really an excellent surprise. It is a renovated abbey. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Marco who booked us in and took care of us was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast simple but fresh. Historical place lots of history, I highly recommend it.

Yes, this is the right place!!
We had no idea what we were in for. As we pulled up to the giant, beautifully lit building we thought I had made a mistake inputting the name of the hotel into Google maps. Upon closer review and perseverance we recognized that this was indeed the place and were very happy with the decision. The rooms are spacious and recently renovated. Marco is a gracious and fantastic host who worked hard to communicate with us despite the language barrier. We highly recommend this hotel.

Marco went out of his way to give us advise and directions to groceries and restaurants. Outstanding service. Rooms are spacious but the doors are low like 5.5 feet high. Extremely quiet, lovely place.

The hotel is an old abbey and looks it. It is very quaint and unique but very comfortable. The staff and restaurant are excellent. The best hotel we stayed in in Tuscany.

Romantic and unique hotel
This was a bit of a chore to reach but what a gem! Gorgeous location in wheat and tomato fields, this former monastery is hundreds and hundreds of years old, tastefully and thoughtfully restored into a modern museum, small hotel, and restaurant. The rooms are spare but of high quality-the spareness fits the monastery in any case. The restaurant is modern and a great breakfast in included-you can purchase dinner there as well or at the nearby local restaurant a short walk down the road. The church is creatively converted into a modern art exhibit space-really striking. Really, it's just a stunning and peaceful and romantic place to relax. Chiara was fantastic as well as all of the hardworking staff. This is a gem for the "slow tourism" effort in Italy-the perfect antidote to the crowds in Florence!

Charming hosts, lovely garden full of sculpture. Surrounded by fields, beatiful vistas. Great restaurant. A wonderfully peaceful place in a well restored abbey. Easy to find-- main road out of town and one sees the huge abbey.
