The Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello has a delightful atmosphere that oozes relaxation and nature. This is a country-house hotel in an ancient village, which also boasts a castle, nestled in the hills of the province of Parma. The village dates back to the 11th century and was built on the remains of an old Roman settlement. Its spacious rooms, part housed in the old guard tower and the original historical residence, offer all modern comforts (flat-screen TV and fast Internet connection) and every window affords spectacular views spanning from the towers, to the village walls, the olive trees, the age-old trees in the large park, the Apennines on the border between Tuscany and Emilia and the plains, right through to the Alps. The hotel’s Antico Caseificio restaurant serves a selection of traditional, locally-sourced products and the wellness centre, which is housed in a natural grotto, offers massages and boasts a sauna, Turkish bath and whirlpool tub.
