Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello - Northern Italy, Italy

About this Chic Retreat

Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello is a small luxury hotel in the gorgeous countryside of Parma. Tabiano Castle estate - once a medieval fortress - now houses 40 charming rooms with a rustic charm and the best of luxury comforts. Rooms are divided between the main house, the old 13th-century guard tower and the 3 charming medieval houses, Casa Agata, Locanada & Casa de Sarto, all affording wonderful views of the rolling hills, the River Po valley and onward to the Alps. Wander the estate with its majestic walkways, traverse the small country tracks through the grain & grass fields and verdant oak woods, and in the evening, settle down for an Italian feast in the estate's Locanda del Colle restaurant to sample some of the local products such as Parmesan cheese, Parma ham and the fine regional wines. The wellness centre, surrounded by olive groves, has an outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi & solarium and guests can relax in the sauna & Turkish bath nestled in a natural cave and de-stress with a relaxing massage. This is a great retreat for a romantic country getaway.

Accommodation

Enjoy a romantic bath in a freestanding tub by an open-fire, or unwind in one of the Jacuzzi rooms, lie back in elegant four-posters with billowing white muslin drapes and experience life in the luxury one would expect from a grand medieval estate. The 40 rooms, suites & apartments, divided between the main residence and the old tower have an elegant Italian ambience and classic furnishings blend perfectly with the original stonework, marble & tile flooring and fine fabrics in a palette of neutral tones and warm reds. Bathrooms offer a wonderful array of modern fittings with a mix of Jacuzzi baths, freestanding roll top tubs and bath/shower combinations, some of which sit in the rooms, and come with bathrobes, towels & luxury bath products. All rooms have TVs, WiFi, air-conditioning & heating, mini-bars and views of the garden with its olive groves and oak woods, all encompassed by the old castle walls. The suites and apartments also have well-equipped kitchen areas. The spacious apartments have separate living rooms, and some have separate kitchen - dining rooms. Sleeping from 2-6 guests, some have additional bathrooms and up to 2 bedrooms plus the possibility of adding beds. The split-level Villa Agata offers particularly stunning views from the large sitting room.

Activities

The area is rich in medieval history, and Parma has some of the oldest castles churches, abbeys and walled towns in Italy. Food lovers should visit the local farms where Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Culatello di Zibello and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena are made. The estate is perfect for horse riding and mountain biking, and both horses and bikes are available for rent with horse stables a few km from the castle. Golfers can play on the nearby courses in Salsomaggiore, Castell'Arquato & Sala Baganza and there are clay tennis courts less than 3 km away.

For those who want to indulge in Italy's finest shopping, visit Parma, the Fidenza Village shopping outlet, or further afield, Milan. For those of a more artistic leaning, take a day trip to Cremona, Parma, Mantova, Verona or Pisa. However, in such a glorious setting, guests may be tempted to simply relax & unwind in the wellness centre. Sit back in the relaxation area in a natural cave and choose from a range of massage and beauty treatments, spend an hour or two in the sauna and Turkish bath, swim in the outdoor pool and relax in the Jacuzzi & solarium.The nearby thermal spa towns of Tabiano and Salsomaggiore offer mud baths and the spa waters are used to treat various ailments.

Guests can take dinner in the village of Tabiano Castello at the Locanda del Colle restaurant.
