The room was located 4-500m from the hotel itself. (We were ok with that, but not sure the people arriving just after us were... Breakfast was served at the main building, so we went out instead.) The staff told us it was because (!) we had booked with Expedia. Not too impressed with that message.
That aside, had a great stay there, room was very large, with a small living room separate from the bedroom. It was a few minutes walk to the main areas of Parma, which was a highlight of our roundtrip in Italy.
