Hotel Gabarda
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Gabarda is worth booking if you arrive by car and want a well-rated 4-star room for less than the Carpi median. If you want to walk out of the door into the old centre, it is the wrong base.

This is a hotel for drivers. Guests describe a quiet countryside setting near the highway exit, and the property lists free parking, family rooms, a garden, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The listing is also tagged as pet-friendly, though the rules are not confirmed.
Road trippers, people visiting Carpi for work and families with a car will get the most from it. Travellers without a car should think twice. Every sight in our data is more than 30 minutes away on foot, so you would depend on taxis or public transport for each outing.
Location and getting around Carpi
The address is Via Carlo Marx 172. The location score is 8.9 out of 10, which reflects what guests value here: calm and easy road access rather than closeness to monuments.
Distances are the honest weak point. Santa Maria in Castello is about 2.9 km away, around 36 minutes on foot. Carpi Cathedral is about 3.2 km, roughly 40 minutes. San Francesco in Correggio is about 7.6 km, some 95 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, and all three are far. Plan on a car, a taxi or public transport.
The upside of that distance is quiet. Guests specifically mention a peaceful countryside feel, which is hard to find in a town-centre hotel.
What guests say
Hotel Gabarda scores 8.6 out of 10 from 253 guest reviews. On review score it ranked joint second of the 3 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Two positives come through. Guests like the quiet location near the highway exit, and they praise the breakfast as plentiful, with fresh products.
Our data shows no recurring complaint for this hotel. That does not mean there are none. It means no clear negative theme stood out in the review summary, so read a few recent reviews to see what matters to you.
Price and value against our other Carpi picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put Hotel Gabarda at €138 per night. The sample median was €173, so it came in 20% below. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Carpi, was €211.80 per night with 4 stars and a score of 8.6. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Touring, was €173 per night, 4 stars and 8.7. All three are 4-star hotels with very close scores, so the real difference is price and location.
For €138 you get free parking, a garden and the same 8.6 score as the Best Value pick at a lower rate. What you give up is walking access to the centre.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible hotels in Carpi. Hotel Gabarda is our Budget choice because €138 was the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was reserved.
A cheap price alone would not be enough. It earns the place by pairing that price with 4 stars, 253 reviews averaging 8.6 and free parking.
Before you book
Breakfast type and whether it is included are not confirmed, even though guests praise it. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed either. Check them on the booking page.
If you are not driving, work out how you will reach the centre and what a taxi costs before you commit. If you bring a pet, confirm the policy and any fee with the hotel.
