Parma Apennines: nature, relax and outdoor sports

EMILIA ROMAGNA, COMPIANO, PARMA - Giorgio, Mountain Bike Guide and Valeria owner of a R&B can provide more than 30y of experience and deep knowledge of the paths and trails in Valtaro and a simple but professional tourist accommodation that meets all the needs of bikers.

Our spacious and Pet-Bike-EcoFriendly R&B, called "Tolasudolsa" (in dialect parmesan: take it easy), is located at 830 meters above sea level on the Parma Apennine.

We're immersed in nature, far from everything. The experience and the atmosphere will be very familiar with the pleasure of falling asleep in the evening, and waking up in the morning with the sounds of the forest, wild animals and the mountains. The traditional cuisine is homemade, not local, genuine and we try to satisfy a type of tourism that is more respectful of the environment, economy and community, especially local (eco-cuisine, anti-waste, KM 0, self-production, etc.).

The main entrance is divided to enter the ground floor, where live Valeria & Giorgio the owners, and the R&B located on the first floor. Here are the 3 simples, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, a large room for breakfast and lunches and extra meals and the complete bathrooms that are outside the bedrooms but immediately next to them.

DURING THE WINTER SEASON RESERVATIONS ARE ACCEPTED ONLY WITH A MINIMUM OF 48H BEFORE THE CHECK-IN.

Inside and outside of the house is no-smoking areaa. With Valeria & Giorgio live four beautiful cats that are free to move even outside so the presence of other pets must be agreed at the time of booking.

WHAT TO DO - The area and the R&B are easily accessible from the main cities of the north Italy and the location is ideal for day trips to Lunigiana in Tuscany, to Cinqueterre, Sestri Levante and/or Chiavari all in Liguria for a day at the beach) to Parma and Bologna or to the castles in the area. It is ideal also for a day at the beach even in winter, in Parma and Bologna or to visit the Castles and Villages of the area.

It is the home of several species of animals, plants and mushrooms; it preserves rare habitats, enchanting landscapes and it changes continuously as the seasons pass. Every day the nature reserve can be visited freely by foot by accessing from Costa dei Rossi (Albareto) or Porcigatone (Borgotaro).
