The Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello, classified as a Charming Relais and "scattered hotel", is a majestic historic residence located in the hills of Salsomaggiore Terme, in the province of Parma. Founded at the beginning of the 11th century as a fortress of the Pallavicini Marquises, the Borgo has been recovered and transformed into an oasis of discreet luxury and history. Its dominant position offers a breathtaking panorama that stretches from the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines to the Po Valley and the Alps. It is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the medieval atmosphere with all modern comforts.
The Relais offers a wide range of accommodation, including Classic, Superior, and Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, Suites, and Apartments (some with equipped kitchenettes). Each residence is unique, carefully furnished in period style, with antique furniture, hand-painted ceramics, and terracotta or antique tile floors, often featuring original stone walls and wooden beam ceilings. All accommodations are equipped with air conditioning, minibar, and free Wi-Fi.
For relaxation, the Borgo features two magnificent seasonal outdoor pools: one 15 meters long and a circular one with hydromassage, both located within the walls and offering spectacular views. Wellness is guaranteed by two SPA centres: one housed in an evocative natural cave and the other in a house in the woods. Both offer a Turkish bath, sauna, hydromassage tub, and emotional showers, along with a rich menu of massages and beauty treatments. The Borgo is also a starting point for activities like horseback riding and mountain bike rental.
The gastronomic offering is entrusted to the “Antico Caseificio” Restaurant, located in the authentic 18th-century historic dairy. Here you can savor the best of typical Emilian cuisine, prepared with fresh seasonal products from the surrounding countryside and the Borgo's garden (km 0 philosophy). On fine days, breakfast and dinner are served on the panoramic terrace, with views of the pool and the surrounding valleys. The Relais is also pet-friendly and offers services such as meeting rooms and airport transfers.

His Opinion: The restaurant was a bit of a disappointment because the setting is splendid. Also I have to say that I’m at odds politically with using migrants to bring bags to rooms /work on site—these were the jobs our youths used to do —— it would have been nice to see young Italians from piacenza -surely there are some who need work too ?

His Opinion: A dire la verità avevo trovato questo bellissimo posto sul portale www.dormireneicastelli.it.
E in effetti speravo di dormire proprio dentro il castello, mentre questo si visita e basta.
Però la camera - una junior suite - era talmente bella ed il posto così incantevole che al malinteso non abbiamo dato nessuna importanza.
Soprattutto ho apprezzato la pace e la tranquillità del posto, dovuto direi ad un livello elevato degli altri ospiti e forse anche al fatto - e mi spiace dirlo - che molti non erano italiani.

His Opinion: Posto molto bello, tenuto bene e curato. Personale ospitale, gentile e molto disponibile. Ristorante buono, migliorabile un po' nel servizio. Spa ricavata in una grotta non molto grande, ma molto particolare, regala momenti di gran relax. Molto consigliato per un weekend romantico. Grazie!

His Opinion: We were very impressed by the staff and the property at Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello. The staff prepared us a meal (as the restaurant was closed and we didn't have a car) and then made breakfast early for us, as our train departed at 7 am. We were so grateful for their hospitality and we have decided to come back sometime in the future for a longer stay!

His Opinion: Our room definetly needs to be upgraded to warrant the costs per night. Lighting was poor, no place to plce/hang clothes and bathroom, although adequate needs to be updated. In the ned we still enjoyed our visit.
