The agriturismo

The late 19th-century farmhouse stands on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in the picturesque Val di Taro, in a natural oasis where organic farming is practiced for the production of fruits and vegetables, jams, sauces, juices and other gastronomic specialties.

Especially suitable for those accompanied by their 4-legged friends.

Facilities include country room with billiards, toy library and TV, table tennis, bowling green, dog agility.
Reported on Michelin guide.

The accommodation

Guests are accommodated in 7 rooms equipped with private bathrooms and TV (one is equipped for diversities). The accommodation also includes a country room with billiards, playroom and TV, and, outside, table tennis and bocce court.

 

A splendid swimming pool is made available to guests for sunny days: set among rocks and flowers, it is furnished with umbrellas, deckchairs and sunbeds.

 

The restaurant hall, made out of the old stable, is cozy and quiet, furnished in typical style with stones, wood and objects from the rural civilization. The home cooking offers regional dishes: here you can enjoy homemade bread, torta fritta with local cured meats, potato pie, tortelli di erbette, wild boar, ganassini al Lambrusco, mushrooms, pattona, and many other specialties.

Activities and surrounding

The farm is located in Ostia Parmense in the Province of Parma, around 400 metres above sea level and just 5 km from the regional capital Valtaro (Borgotaro) on the banks of the Taro River, where it crosses the Cogena creek: a region which is one of Italy’s major porcini mushroom producers, recognised on a European level, a certified PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Mushroom Zone.

The Taro Valley stands in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines between Parma, famous city of art, and La Spezia in Liguria.

Nearby you'll find the Castles of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza (Bardi, Compiano, Fontanellato…) , the stunning Baptistery and the Parma Art Gallery, the Maria Luigia Museum, the Bedonia Planetarium, the “Oasi dei Ghirardi” WWF park, the Cento Laghi Park and the Filiberti company who specialise in working with Carniglia Stone.

For those who love outdoor sports, the region is home to a wealth of signposted CAI pathways (Club Alpino Italiano, Italian Alpine Club), with links to the “Grande Escursione Appenninica” trail. Guests can also explore the “Ippovia dell'Appennino Parmense” bridleway and the Via Francigena on foot or on horseback, or why not enjoy a spot of fishing in one of the local rivers or lakes?

There are also wonderful food and wine trails to discover ancient flavours and typical local produce, with tours of dairies, cured meat producers and wine cellars.

In autumn guests can gather porcini mushrooms and chestnuts.

We were two days in the post-season here and were very surprised how much money you can spend for so little consideration. The area is very generous, the rooms clean and if you like dogs you are right here. The mattresses were very hard and there is also a small tv in the room. T... Read more

I am literally excited by this review as despite the fact that the reservation was made the day before and upon arrival we managed to handle a VEGANO guest without being warned before we did anyway to try to serve a proper dinner, the first night everything based on Porcini IGP Borgotaro Mushrooms, the second night we even had two different menus, one vegan and the second menu with Parma Crudo, Herb Tortelli, Culatello Starcotto at Lambrusco and sweet. Room television is standard like in almost all the farmhouses (definitely not a mega screen) but I honestly do not think it's the reason a person chooses to go to a farm. We have always tried to support all of their requests to make them feel at ease but unfortunately we noticed that all this was not worth anything even if the check out at the request of how it went their stay there was answered "All very well "with hugs included, if all this is compromised by the fact that he was not allowed to download movies with the WI-FI connection then .... we deserve this review.
