About the property

Tavernelle the last village before crossing into the region of Parma from Tuscany this small mountain village  prides itself with very grand buildings not usually found in such a modest rural hamlet (as it initially comes across)…

The recently renovated Palazzo del Duca is one of the grandest properties in the village with original period features at their best: terra cotta floors, flagstone terraces, stone fireplaces, barrel and cross vault ceilings, a very noble stone staircase leads you to the upper floor apartments where one of the spacious living rooms can accommodate 25 people around one table. On exploring the village, you can find stone porticos with interesting inscriptions from times past, the Nobile Famiglia Malaspina coats of arms, 6m fireplaces, and a vaulted stable 15x8m, the medieval backstreet called the borgo is a great place to simply sit and admire rural life pass by! Overflowing flowerbeds adorn the 800 sq.m. internal garden where an in-ground 4x8m swimming pool offers much needed summer refreshment, and mountain ridge views. Why not try river swimming just 10 mins walk from your front door…A real must if you like basking or jumping from rocks in the summer sun, an experience that could be your holiday highlight!

Set in 13c medieval village with an interesting local history Tavernelle is on the historic road of the Via del Sale 15c, which connects the cities of Modena and Parma to the Sea, the last village before crossing the Pass of the Lagastrello where lies the breath-taking Tuscan-Emilian Apennine Landscape. To keep in mind are the cities of Modena and Parma, even for Italians, ultimate “Foodie” destinations, the regional boarder is just 10k up the pass! A delight for nature lovers too, located in two nature riserve parks: Il Parco dei Cento Laghi and Il Parco dell’ Appennino Tosco Emiliano.
