Albareto - Bardi - Bedonia - Berceto - Bore - Borgo Val di Taro - Compiano - Fornovo di Taro English Medesano - Pellegrino P.se - Solignano - Terenzo - Tornolo - Valmozzola - Varano de’ Melegari - Varsi edition The territory of Comunità Montana delle Valli del Taro e del Ceno can be easily reached from the A15 Parma-La Spezia motorway, exits: Parma Ovest Fornovo - Borgotaro - Berceto. Dear Tourist, Comunità Montana delle Valli del Taro e del Ceno is pleased to offer a wide selection of Farmhouse and Bed&Breakfast facilities over a territory which is not just worth a visit for its unspoilt nature, country traditions, trattorias and restaurants featuring genuine food, but which is also the perfect retreat for rest and quiet under a starry sky, where forgotten flavours can be rediscovered, where it is pleasant to recover the vital need of an almost instinctive return to nature, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life, oppressed by air and noise pollution. A break in a farmhouse or B&B guesthouse is the source of pleasure, which may come from spending the night is a really quiet place or tasting genuine home-made food as cannot be found even in the best supplied or original store, or just from having a chat with the owners and learn about the environment and local history or get advice about nearby places worth a visit. Just a stone's throw is the Apennine with its typical products such as Parmigiano-Reggiano, porcini mushrooms boasting European P.G.I. designation, the black swine or the unrivalled flavour of bread from Pellegrino Parmense. Other attractions are the castles of Valceno and Valtaro, the wine and taste trail featuring Borgotaro's porcino mushroom; the long and varied hipporoute or the trekking and mountain-bike paths and tracks. And then there is Art: Parmigianino in Bardi, Lanfranco and Traversi's Via Crucis in Borgotaro, Carraccis in Bedonia's diocesan Seminary, charming in their spiritual inspiration. The historical routes are also worth mention: the Via Francigena, with its superb Romanesque churches, from Medesano to Fornovo, Terenzo and Berceto and the Abbots' Way, from Bardi to Borgotaro and Borgallo, with its “Mistà” (Majesties) and specimens of rock architecture that revive memories from the past. Children can excitingly enjoy their stay by getting familiar with those animals they may have only seen in cartoons or portrayed in books, such as poultry, all sorts of pets as well as tame and wild animals. All this means a return to our most solid, often long-forgotten values, linked to the beauty of our land and to the thousand crafts that have marked the history of men through the centuries, which may magically result in a really refreshing and invigorating experience, if we are interested in such a break not just as an alternative to a visit to the round-the-corner restaurant. If you wish to know us better and explore our territory, you will realise that time will never be enough and you will look forward to coming back. We'll be waiting for you. Luciano Allegri Councillor for Tourist Activities Comunità Montana delle Valli del Taro e del Ceno Bed&Breakfast and Farmhouse accommodation enables visitors and tourists to get in direct, close contact with the traditions of the area they are staying in and experience them. Comunità Montana delle Valli del Taro e del Ceno can boast about 70 Bed&Breakfast and Farmhouse retreats on its territory, many of which have only recently been opened. This is evidence of a strong vitality in the whole area and of the warm hospitality traditions of its inhabitants. To start a B&B activity means to open your home to visitors, which stems from a strong affection for your land and a willingness to be the herald of its beauties and peculiarities. Farmhouse holidays have a lot to do with rural life and agricultural activities; visitors get familiar with our local productions, which may help widen their outlooks. For these reason this publication is not just a catalogue. It is an attempt to promote a whole territory, with the many facets of its traditions and its deeply-rooted values.
