The Antica Torre organic farmhouse is a small medieval village historically connected to several castles in Parma and Piacenza. Located on green hills, immersed in nature and absolute tranquility, it overlooks the city of Salsomaggiore Terme and the entire valley of taste and flavor, nestled between Tuscany and Lombardy, just an hour away from the Ligurian sea. Visiting these places means immersing yourself in a historical culture made up of art and typical products such as Culatello, Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano, and many others. Products that represent the pride of the prestigious Emilia Romagna food tradition, accompanied by the incomparable operatic works of Maestro Giuseppe Verdi.
Treat yourself to a vacation at our farm, the ideal stay for couples of all ages, from young people to over 60s. Antica Torre agriturismo offers maximum relaxation in absolute privacy, thanks to the very limited capacity and the strict management towards the "too noisy", guaranteeing a peaceful and pleasant stay.
The large porch adjacent to the old stable, equipped with comfortable tables and numerous benches scattered in the greenery, allows guests to savor the freshness of the place in total freedom and tranquility. Here you can dedicate some time to rest, reading or even a pleasant chat with friends, activities that are difficult to carry out in large cities.
In a simple environment that respects the peasant atmosphere, we have created for you a corner where time stops to find authentic well-being, the result of a healthy and balanced relationship with nature. You can enjoy essential oils from our hills, in total privacy (it is advisable to request the treatment at the time of booking or, for longer periods, to agree in advance during the stay).
Furthermore, thanks to its proximity to the city of Salsomaggiore Terme, customers can dedicate themselves to the well-being and thermal, curative, beauty and relaxation treatments offered by the spa, even for just a few days.
Antica Torre offers different types of accommodation, all furnished in a rustic and characteristic style, for about twenty beds.
Staying at Antica Torre means being able to take advantage of different solutions, all extremely comfortable and well cared for, with typical furnishings in peasant art. In homage to our fellow citizen, Maestro Giuseppe Verdi, all the rooms of the farmhouse, distributed in the old medieval tower and other rustic buildings, have the names of his operas, such as La Traviata, Nabucco, Rigoletto, and many others.
For those staying at our farmhouse, the morning breakfast will bring a delightful surprise: a complete immersion in natural aromas and flavors. You can taste our organic honey, homemade jams, homemade pies, and to vary, you can also enjoy some local cold cuts or a delicious fresh egg.
The service is offered in a family atmosphere, in the dining room, which was once the old stable of the complex. Thanks to the large tables and typical cuisine, a welcoming and friendly atmosphere is created that encourages meeting new people. Additionally, for special evenings, you can taste the best local specialties with a tasting dinner in the Cistercian Grangia cellar. Here, the charm of the past blends with intense flavors and aromas of the present.
Located in the perfect spot between Parma and Piacenza, and between the hills and the plain of the "bassa" Parmense, Antica Torre is a place where nature is at the center of every activity. Here, the cuisine offers typical dishes of the Emilian tradition, using products made in-house. Prepared following the ancient recipes of "nonna," typical dishes can be enjoyed seasonally and include first courses such as chicken broth tortellini, herb tortelli, and mushroom tagliatelle. Second courses include specialties such as oven-baked beef, lamb cooked in various ways, chicken and rabbit in a pan, braised and roast meats, etc. In addition, there are fresh and pickled vegetables, homemade bread, fried cake with homemade or aged cold cuts, such as Culatello and Prosciutto di Parma, strictly homemade cakes and pies. All this can be accompanied by good white or red wines typical of the area. The catering service is exclusively for guests staying and, in some periods, by reservation for external groups.
