We found a very nice restaurant just down the street from the hotel. Also, the day we spent touring Parma, and our lunch, were wonderful.
"Excellent hotel with very helpful and professional staff. The room was beautifully decorated and very accommodating. Hotel location is excellent being close to dining, caffes and shops as well as being next to the cathedral (cathedral is very beautiful). Parma is a great town and I will definitely book my stay at the Palazzo Dalla Rosa Prati the next time I visit."
"Great property, the apartments were very spacious, the air conditioning was amazing in August! 3 units in one apartment were a treat! The bedroom is upstairs, the sofa bed us downstairs, there's also a kitchen area downstairs. The bathroom is clean and spacious. Lots of different lights inside. Easy check-in and check-out. We paid the tourist tax at check-out. Walkable distance to the city centre. "
"The hotel was exceptional, with high quality finishes, bed linen etc.
Excellent breakfast. They kindly upgraded our room.
Approx 10 -15 min walk into centre. Local area not great.
Good secure parking inside grounds and underground.
Nice grounds but be prepared with insect repellent. Could be utilised more and maybe add jacuzzi or similar.
Would recommend."
