Excellent hotel in an amazing location
The hotel is located in the Italian countryside , which offer breathtaking views. We enjoyed them very much in our evening walks. Our room was located in the old castle / monastery, that has been completely renovated to offer modern perks, such as air conditioning and a jacuzzi. The included breakfast buffet was generous and delicious. During our stay we also had a gourmet candlelight dinner in the attached restaurant, which was also delicious. Both places put on an emphasis on local dishes and products - some are even grown on the hotel grounds. The hotel offers a clean outdoor pool and spa, which we didn’t have time to try. The WiFi reception in our room didn’t work; however, that contributed to the relaxation feeling that we were looking for in this stay. One thing to be aware of is that besides the included breakfast, other things (water from the minibar, usage of the saunas and Turkish bath in the spa, bike rental) require an additional fee. We would have appreciated if some of these were included in the price (even at the expense of a slightly higher base price).

This is a truly unique place to stay in a magnificent area. Accommodation Is very true to the original buildings. Staff are very real and accommodating. The restaurant on the terrace is superb and very reasonably priced. So good that I have recommended our customers to stay there.

Relaxing and comfortable stay in the countryside
We stayed here for a night instead of staying in Parma. The castle is one of the oldest castles in Europe. The breakfast is great. We didn’t have enough time to take full advantage of all the castle has to offer, such as the spa and the grounds, but it did feel like a nice getaway on our honeymoon. The restaurant in the hotel was also pretty good. The service, as in many places in Italy, was not great but we had 2 pasta dishes that were very good. And given that there isn’t much more around the hotel, it was our only option. We did hear the outlets in Fidenza are good- so check those out nearby (30 min drive) if you like shopping.

Romantic getaway
First of all I would like to thank the friendly and efficient staff, especially Jessica at the front desk. She communicated with us during a traffic jam which delayed us for two hours and waited for us at the property to ensure a smooth check-in. Thank you! The location is relaxing, rustic and well-kept. Great as a weekend getaway, close to thermal baths and vineyards but also far from noise and stress! The room was tastefully decorated, and fresh thanks to two nice windows. I cannot say if the rooms become very hot in the summer, but in this period it was delightful. No elevators, obviously. Castle! The breakfast room is the restaurant that also serves lunch and dinner - warm and well decorated preserving the rustic chic aesthetic. Great selection of homemade cakes and croissants, and savoury options. Dinner was lovely as well - great local wines and cured meats! We wish we could have also taken advantage of the spa and wellness facilities but we only stayed for one night so... we will be back! Thank you!!

Rustic overnight in the Parma area
We stayed at the hotel overnight as a stopover between Verona and the cinque terre. The location of the hotel is very good and impressive atop the hill with the castle. The sunset view from the church nearby was stunning! The hotel itself is relatively average; it feels a bit dated and cold. We stayed in a deluxe room which was pretty basic, other than the view from the main room and the bathroom. A very annoying buzzing noise came from the electrical switch which was pretty painful! We had dinner at the restaurant which was fine, nothing spectacular. Nothing too bad, and fine for an overnight but wouldn’t stay there much longer.

Castle Experience
Driving to Antico Borgo di Tabiano castle is not easy: it is near Parma, but from Parma almost an hour drive , especially the road to the castle, definitely not high way. But it is definitely worth the driving because of beautiful scenery, and castle looks grand. It is unique to stay in the castle, and staffs are friendly and efficient. Dinner is excellent .

Room in a Castle
We stayed in a suite in the Castle, with a great view over the countryside, the room was warm (even had a real fireplace that could be used in winter) and cosy. The room and bathroom (which had a whirlpool bath) were very clean. Staff were very helpful advising on where to visit and we loved meetinng Brutus (the dog) and Luigi (the peacock). We only stayed 2 nights should have been longer! We enjoyed breakfast and dinner, the hotel uses local and seasonal products where possible. The menu in the restaurant was not extensive and we enjoyed the dishes we tried.

Should have been wonderful...........
We booked this hotel in March for the last night of our trip to Italy. After a hectic trip we wanted a night somewhere peaceful with a lovely restaurant. Unfortunately we were informed a few days before leaving for our trip that we couldn't eat in the restaurant as it had been given to a private party for the evening. We were offered a room upgrade as compensation and dinner booked in a nearby restaurant. Unfortunately the private party were at the pool when we arrived, all drinking and having fun. It made us feel like we were intruding on the party as the pool area is quite small. Dinner at the local restaurant was OK, but not the hoped for experience. Our room was very nice, but being woken at 3.20am by the private party members returning, falling up the staircase and banging doors kind of took the shine off it all. Breakfast was lovely on the terrace. Would advise you check when booking if any large parties are expected as it really did affect our enjoyment of what should have been a wonderful end to our trip.

A must see and stay. Would stay again and longer.
A highlight of our trip. We stayed in 2 different rooms (1 couple and 1 single). Both were immaculate and appointed. The surroundings were breathtaking. We arrived in the dark, so when I first opened the curtains around dawn and saw the surroundings I woke my husband with my gasp. The bed was so comfortable it was not hard for either of us to go back to sleep. I didn't want to leave and would love to sleep on that bed again. It was not only comfortable bedding, but the mattress didn't move around us, meaning if one of us moved it didn't disturb the other person. The kind service was personal and genuine. The homemade cakes were very good and sufficient. Our friend said that he had a generous portion of meats and cheeses for his breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice. So many people genuinely contributed to a pleasant stay that will be remembered well. Reception offered excellent ideas of things to do and were patient to satisfy our questions about the area. We would have liked to use spa services as the spa was very appealing, but we were limited on time (and slept too long). The prices were fair and facilities were very clean and appealing. It was a bit far from our destination (Castell'Arquato), but I would stay there again knowing what awaits....

Tranquil location on the hills
We booked this hotel as the final leg of a journey down to Bologna, and knew this would only leave us about an hour away. The location is stunning, and the room we had (Imperial suite) was magnificent with views to match. We had a little balcony which we sat out on for a while in the evening to drink in the scenery. Unfortunately the day we stayed the hotel restaurant was not open, so we ate in the nearby restaurant, which was very good with great home cooked local food on the menu and a very affordable wine list! The attached spa is good, and the outside pool made a very refreshing end to our afternoon. Would suggest you do not follow your sat nav to the hotel as it will take you up some very narrow, unpaved roads, there are much better roads to get to the hotel.

Magestic and relaxing
Wow! We stayed for two nights in September for our honeymoon and could not have loved it more. From the breathtaking panoramic views, to the cozy little spa, we never wanted to leave! Our room was lovely, old stone, modern bathroom, comfortable bed and linens. Breakfast was a dream; soft boiled eggs from the on-site chicken coop, local meats and cheeses from parma, all superb. The restaurant on the grounds is run by a man named Oscar and it was by far our favorite culinary experience in all of Italy. From the fresh shaved truffles on our pasta, to the hint of lavender and the delightful dessert table, each course was a work of art. Truly a magical place, we would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet Italian countryside escape.

A castle with stairs
We stopped here on the why back to London from South of Italy. It is absolutely wonderful and we wished we could have stayed longer. WARNING if you dont get on with stairs or hotels on different levels this is not the hotel for you. Our room was very large with real beams and stone floor. I had a free sauna and swim, my wife a very good massage which cost less then she pays here. Excellent excellent value for money.

Wonderful experience
The hotel is situated in a very picturesque location in the countryside outside of Parma. We were very glad we had a Garmin unit to help us negotiate the many round-abouts enroute. We arrived late and were greeted pleasantly and given very nice accomodations for our ten day stay. Our room had a beautiful view of the surrounding hills, modern amenities, and a small refrigerator. Breakfast consisted of freshly baked goods, eggs, yogurt, and a variety of meats and cheeses served in a beautiful sun room. We especially enjoyed the apricot tarts and fresh yogurt. During our stay the hotel staff went above and beyond to be helpful to us, recommending places to visit, making travel arrangements for us, and a staff member even loaned her personal car charger cord to us for our Garmin because I had forgotten ours. They also sent someone to buy a cord for us in Parma, which literally allowed us to be able to travel where we wanted to go. I can't thank them enough! Also on site is a restaurant/pub which served great Italian food and is not to be missed! I absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would not hesitate to recommend it others. The only issue some people may have is that the castle is literally located in the countryside, but I consider that a plus.

Amazing historical charm and tranquil surroundings
The room we had was all nice stone walls and ceilings with beautiful wood flooring. There was a nice jacuzzi tub and two spacious rooms. It was very luxurious for the price. The staff were excellent and very helpful. The area is a bit isolated and the rooms are not actually in the castle nearby, but don't let that stop you from booking a night or two as this is a very magical place and location. I would suggest planning to actually spend some time at the hotel and in Salsomaggiore; there is very beautiful wine country and several amazing castles you can visit in the area. Also, I highly recommend approaching the hotel from Fidenza (A1) rather than from A15. The drive from A15 is about twice as long as the roads are rough and winding (although the countryside is very beautiful if you are up for a nice long country drive).
