You get a very accurate impression of this establishment from the previous reviews. The staff are uniformly cheerful and helpful; the approach to the property in a very wet Spring is surprisingly dull and charmless, but the general ambiance once there is one of simple, rustic, historic, faded splendour carefully, lovingly and imaginatively refurbished.; the tours of the farm and...

If you have the time and you like a remote quite place and very good food, you MUST take a day or two in this magnificant place. The room is a decorated in a special way. The restaurant is great and hospitality is at the best of the Italian way. We also took (FOC) the tour at the family's Parnigiano... More

After a let down, we were given excellent redress: We arrived after a long day's drive to find that the rooms we had booked months in advance via booking.com were not available. Apparently the management had never received the booking from the internet agency. Whatever, we had to drive back about 20 miles to another impressive castle where the Antica... More

Choose this place for the experience - Please remember really this place is all about the restaurant and the focus on the hotel portion is not their passion. - Get ready to get lost, that is part of the experience. GPS, directions will get you most of the way, but it was the help of a local that got us... More

Antica Corte Pallavicina is a very unique place to stay, surrounded by a working farm with a lot of history. The rooms are very charming with wonderful architectural details, and both of the restaurants on the property are excellent. The staff is very helpful and the tour of the culatello caves should not be missed. This is a good location... More

A truly unique experience! Excellent food, excellent service... Though the location is completely out of the way (GPS could give us exact driving instructions after putting the longitude and latitude!!!!), it is well worth the journey.

We stayed at the Antica Corte Pallavicina Relais in Autumn 2012 and recommend the experience to anyone who wants some time away from life's frenetic pace. Our room (the Duke's room) was spacious, very clean, and most welcoming. Antique furniture and surroundings (the ceiling is beautiful) blended well with modern bathroom fittings. The view from the window looked out over... More

Where else can you dine in a modern atrium attached to a 15th century castle with fine food and wonderful service and then retire to bed for a moonlight serenade by mooing cows? The tour of the culatello cave was a learning experience. Sharing the outdoors with the resident peacocks was a pleasant surprise. Dinner and breakfast were very good... More

We stayed in late Ocrober, 2012. First, let it be known that this is a small restored castle in the middle of the countryside, not in Parma. It is truly is a gem of a place surrounding by a working farm for the restaurant's vegetables and flowers. There are livestock and peacocks roaming outside. Despite some other reviewers ideas, the...
