Il Gruccione

Bed & Breakfast in San Secondo Parmense in the countryside

The Gruccione Bed and Breakfast, located just 2 km from San Secondo Parmense, is surrounded by picturesque countryside and is a short distance from the banks of the Taro River, offering the opportunity for pleasant and relaxing walks. In this area, during the months of April and May, the Gruccione nests by digging nest tunnels in the clay walls of the river. The construction of this structure has recently been completed, making the B&B Gruccione a new and modern place, equipped with an elevator and bright and comfortable spaces. Its original circular shape overlooks a large garden with trees, flower beds, and numerous corners dedicated to relaxation. Paolo, Liliana, and Patrizia, along with their loyal four-legged friends Bovary and Otto, will be happy to welcome you. The B&B Gruccione is located in a strategic position, less than 15 km from the Parma Fairs, allowing you to avoid the chaos of the city center, and just 20 km from Parma Airport. Furthermore, the location of the B&B is ideal for visiting the castles of the lower Parma area, among the best preserved in Italy, such as Fontanelle, Roccabianca, Soragna, and Colorno. A short distance from the B&B Gruccione, you can also visit the places related to the life and origins of Giuseppe Verdi: Roncole Verdi, Busseto, and Sant'Agata. In just 15 minutes by car, you can also reach Fidenza Village, the outlet for luxury brands, for shopping enthusiasts. San Secondo is located in the heart of the Food Valley, where the world's most beloved Italian products are produced. This is the land of culatello di Zibello, salame di Felino, and Parma ham. Throughout the countryside, you will find numerous cheese factories where you can buy the famous Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.C. cheese, known and appreciated worldwide.

You will be hosted by Patrizia

My name is Patrizia and I manage the B&B il Gruccione together with my parents Paolo and Liliana. I am the youngest of three siblings and all members of our family have always shared a love for fun and conviviality. Our house has always been full of friends with whom we organized dinners and lunches. We enjoy meeting new people and sharing the values of hospitality and good food. We have always lived in the countryside and the B&B perfectly reflects our passion for greenery and nature. In addition to managing the B&B, I am involved in creative writing. I am an author. I write theatrical dramas, texts for TV formats, and fairy tales for children. I am a singer-songwriter and I perform in a theater company. I love traveling and I have a special passion for the Camino de Santiago, which I have completed twice, on my own. But the most creative and fulfilling experience of all is the constant interaction and exchange with people.
