Antica Piacenza

Tight is the first word you think of when arriving at the facility. Elevator, landing, entrance, corridor, room, bathroom; all very small. In a Bed&Breakfast all over the world, the idea is to offer overnight stay with breakfast, normally in a dedicated room in which to exchange travel experiences with other guests at the start of the day, but here this environment does not exist ; better an extra bedroom will have been thought of by the owners at the time of the renovation. Not a B&B therefore, but a guest house in impression. The address is within a very central restricted traffic area surrounded by forced-removal alleys, the property's parking costs €10. per day until check-out at ten o'clock then, if you're lucky, in one of the closest small squares, you can find a place in the blue zone for more than €2. per hour and for a day trip around the city parking costs are easy to do. With hindsight I would have chosen accommodation close to the centre, but not inside it if arriving by car. The welcome upon arrival by (I think) the owners was detached and of a rare arrogance, as if it were a privilege and a favor to be able to be hosted in that house. And also susceptible considering that, having kindly pointed out that it seemed misleading to insert an image of an abundant breakfast not included in the price among the presentation photographs of the structure, five minutes after our departure, they canceled the reservation made on *** ********, communicating our failure to arrive at the facility for the sole purpose of not having it reviewed in an even slightly critical way. I have traveled on all continents and have never encountered such incorrectness. A truly unpleasant experience, which the impeccable cleanliness and the beautiful emotional shower did not improve sufficiently. When you travel, running into guests like this is a real injury.
