HOLIDAY RENTAL PROPERTY
Apartment to rent in Salsomaggiore Terme Emilia Romagna Italy

Leave the clock and the calendar behind and turn back the time. It is easy imaging scenes of ladies of rank and cloak-and-dagger knights in Tabiano Castello, small medieval borgo (XI century) still surprising the traveller because of the integrity of its hamlet-planning protected by the Cultural Heritage Office. Settled on a hill and a few Km away from Salsomaggiore Terme, renowned locality thanks to its thermal founts and to the liberty style architecture of its palaces, the hamlet is set in the long strip of the Apennines Mounts running from Piacenza-Parma to the Adriatic Sea: a territory rich in history, art and excellent oenology-gastronomy. Inside the borgo, having a double fortified enclosure walls, crossing the drawbridge over you reach the ancient Guard Tower accommodating the two apartments named Canonica 1 and 2, while a little bit farther, is located Casa Agata accommodating other two apartments. The shared feature of the lodgings is the warm atmosphere: in between wrought-iron and wooden furnishings including some ancient pieces, in between ceilings with visible wooden beams and walls with stones and bricks, all of this harmonizing either with the soft tonalities fading out into the sand, yellow, azure, rosy colours and with some modern concessions such as Tv at plasma and bathtubs with hydro-massage. Besides, the guests can enjoy the outdoor shared pool (with hydro-massage) placed in the wide garden or the secluded indoor health spa consisting of sauna, Turkish bat, Jacuzzi and beauty treatments on demand. The peculiarity of the stay, is that of enjoying in calmness the historical beauties of the borgo where beyond the boundary walls extend the ancient houses once dwelt by the tailor, the shoemaker and the blacksmith, implicitly revealing, together with the ex-cheese factory, the pigsty and the ice-house, how the hamlet's life used to be in the past. In the present days, the tradition keeps passing through also in the typical dishes offered by the tavern "Da Oscar", a real reference point inside of the borgo, normally inhabited by some twenty people.
