Down in the valley, cultural excursions include visits to the castles of Compiano and Bardi and to the ancient Borgo Casale, as well as visits to Parma and to all its monuments.

Let us also remember that we are only 30 minutes away from Tuscany and Liguria, therefore also reasonably close to Florence, Sienna, Cinqueterre and Portofino. Albareto borders onto Varese Ligure, which was the first town to be certified as organic at European level.

Very close to us, in the historic Borgo Casale area, is a health farm where ‘hay baths’, massages, aromatherapy and many other treatments can be enjoyed.
Not far away is a natural pool for swimming, as well as a more traditional swimming pool and horse-riding facilities.

During the winter months in all our buildings you will keep cosy and warm thanks to both central heating and wood fires..

We do not supply a restaurant service, but we will be happy to give advice according to your own particular tastes about the variety of excellent eating places in the valley .

It will be our duty and pleasure to give advice on the purchase of typical local products of the Val di Taro
