Travel: Parma Countryside — A Milanese Escape
A Milanese Escape to the Parma Countryside
Milan offers a stimulating rhythm that never feels overwhelming. But when Milanese people have a few days off, they often seek refuge in holiday homes and resorts. Summer calls for the sea, winter for ski resorts — and for spring and fall, there's the countryside.
In this article, we shine a spotlight on Antica Corte Pallavicina, a charming Relais & Châteaux nestled in the Polesine Parmense region of Italy, renowned as the "aging site of Culatello." Just an hour and a half from Milan, this hidden gem encapsulates everything the Milanese hold dear: luxury in a rustic, countryside setting.
Nestled within a castle-turned-farmhouse, Antica Corte Pallavicina offers an exquisite experience: a Michelin-starred restaurant, inviting bedrooms and a captivating Culatello museum.
A Journey Through Flavors
Visitors can embark on a delightful bike ride through the farms where fresh vegetables, succulent culatello and tender poultry are meticulously crafted. The warmth and hospitality of the staff are second to none. The cuisine, primarily sourced locally, is prepared with utmost care and presented with artistic flair.
