Crónicas de Parma
Parma, founded in 1834, has a rich history dating back to the Etruscan era. The city's strategic location on the Po River made it an important hub for trade and commerce, with the Romans establishing a settlement here in the 1st century BC. Over the centuries, Parma has been influenced by various architectural styles, from the medieval to the Baroque, resulting in a unique blend of styles that define the city's contemporary identity. Today, Parma is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, famous for its Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma, and is also home to the iconic Parma Opera House, one of the world's most renowned music venues.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Colomba, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or above), preferably on the north side of the building, to minimize potential street noise from Via Emilia. This will also give you a better chance of having a room with a view of the city or the surrounding hills.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be more prone to street noise from Via Emilia. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience noise from the elevator shaft.
Best views
Depending on the orientation of your room, you may have a view of the historic city center, the hills surrounding Parma, or the surrounding buildings. Ask for a room on the north side for a better view of the city.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are likely to be the quietest, as they are not directly adjacent to the street and are not near the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
