Day 1

Arrival in Tabiano and check-in at Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello, an amazing Relais de charm created in the way of a scattered hotel inside an ancient settlement of rural houses which were once part of the feudal possessions of the castle owners.

Free time: Lunch (on own) and free time.

You could relax with a spa treatment (just make sure to book it in advance!) or enjoy a private visit of the castle: built more than a thousand years ago as a military fortress, it is now a private residence and a great testimony of the major historical events between the Middle Ages and the 1800s.

Dinner: Welcome dinner with a typical 3-course menu at the castle’s restaurant, obtained through an accurate state-of-the-art country-chic renovation from the old dairy which served the whole area. Ask for a table on the panoramic terrace: it will make you feel like prince & princess!

Night: Overnight in Tabiano.

Day 2

Breakfast: Farm-to-table breakfast at the old dairy.

To follow: Pick-up your vintage Alfa Romeo Duetto (1985 edition) and head on to a full-day discovery tour of the renowned Food Valley of Italy with an embarrassing wealth of options: Parmigiano or Prosciutto productions, some of the numerous other castles belonging to the local network called Castelli del Ducato, wine or vinegar makers and even a VIP shopping experience at the nearby luxury outlet named Fidenza Village with a welcome drink included, hands-free service and a Guest-Card for a further 10%.
