The Old Castle
The castle of Tabiano was built in the 11th century on an old Roman position
dominating the area. It was the stronghold of powerful Pallavicino family, which
dominated this strategic area during the centuries of struggles between the Imperial
and the Vatican forces.
Tabiano castle has been at the centre of historical events to preside over the
rich salt wells and olive trees as well as the old pilgrim road to Rome Via Francigena
. Now the medieval castle village has been transformed into a Relais de Charme
offering exclusive living, relaxation and romance.
Located in the hills above Parma, Tabiano Castello is situated in the hearth
of the gastronomic centre of Italy. This is the home of the world-famous Parmesan
cheese and the Parma ham. The area has also been known since ancient times for
its natural spas. Both in Tabiano Bagni and in nearby Salsomaggiore there are
renowned spa facilities.
Our Hospitality
The Relais contains several rooms, suites and apartments, all different both
in configuration and furnishing. All have a spectacular view over the countryside
and the wide plains of the Po River.
The suites have been shaped out in full respect of the ancient structures and
furnished with old-style furniture. They offer all modern comforts, a small kitchen,
TV, high-speed Internet, heating, air conditioning, bubble bath and parking.
The excellent Locanda del Colle restaurant is a part of the Relais and well known
for its culinary tradition and wine cellar.
