Nestled among the hills of Emilia, just a few minutes from Salsomaggiore Terme, lies Agriturismo Antica Torre, an ancient medieval village enveloped in tranquility and greenery. The property, dominated by a 14th-century watchtower, is surrounded by over forty hectares of land cultivated according to organic farming principles. The rural buildings from the 17th and 19th centuries have been skillfully renovated to provide rustic-style rooms and suites where comfort and authenticity coexist harmoniously.

Each day begins with a wholesome breakfast featuring organic honey, homemade jams, freshly baked tarts, fresh eggs, and local cured meats. At lunch or dinner, the richness of Emilia's cuisine shines through, utilizing products from the farm: homemade pasta, meats from local livestock, garden vegetables, and locally aged cured meats, all paired with regional wines. Meals are served in a warm atmosphere, around large tables and moments of sharing, or in the enchanting medieval cellar for special tastings.

The peacefulness of the countryside, the views of the valleys, and the trails among the woods and paths of the Apennines, along with guided bike or hiking excursions, make Antica Torre the ideal retreat for those seeking wellness and authenticity. The pool, relaxation areas, spaces for play or reading, and the option to engage in smart working while surrounded by nature enhance the overall experience of the stay.

The attentive and discreet family management welcomes every guest with warmth and passion, sharing a deep connection with the land and its flavors. This is a place to slow down, to rediscover a more human pace, and to experience the simple beauty of the earth and the history that flows through it.
Rooms and Rates
Breakfast at the Agriturismo Antica Torre is a special occasion designed to start the day with flavor and peace of mind. Served in a room converted from the old stable, it features a wide selection of authentic products, many sourced directly from the farm. Homemade jams, organic honey, artisanal tarts, and traditional sweets are complemented by savory options such as local cured meats and fresh eggs. Everything is prepared with simple, natural ingredients, following family recipes, and accompanied by a warm atmosphere where time slows down and the joy of dining becomes a shared experience.
The restaurant at Agriturismo Antica Torre is the vibrant heart of Emilia's peasant tradition, where each dish tells the story of a generous land and a family that has cultivated a passion for good cooking for decades. The ingredients are sourced almost entirely from the farm: seasonal vegetables, organic farm-raised meats, homemade pasta, locally cured meats, and typical cheeses.

The menu reflects the changing seasons and offers authentic specialties such as cappelletti in broth, herb tortelli, mushroom tagliatelle, braised dishes, roasts, and meat courses prepared according to ancient recipes. All meals are complemented by local wines and homemade desserts, such as traditional tarts and cakes.

Diners enjoy their meals in a family-like atmosphere, either in the dining room converted from an old stable or, for special occasions, in the enchanting medieval cellar of the Grangia. The service is exclusively reserved for overnight guests, ensuring an authentic and intimate experience filled with conviviality, flavor, and warmth.

The Antica Torre Agriturismo is located in an area of exceptional scenic and cultural richness, in the heart of the Emilia hills, just 3 km from Salsomaggiore Terme. Its elevated position over the valley offers stunning views and a tranquility that invites relaxation and reconnection with nature. The surrounding area provides numerous opportunities for hiking or biking, with trails winding through forests, cultivated fields, and ancient paths leading to the Ligurian slopes of the Apennines.

Nature and photography enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the woods for a Wolf Trekking experience, discovering local flora and fauna.

For food and wine lovers, this area is truly a paradise: from tours of dairies and local producers of cured meats and wines to tastings organized at the nearby Il Poggio Winery, just a short walk from the agriturismo. There are also opportunities to participate in cooking classes, visits to food museums, and customized itineraries that combine authentic flavors with stops for art, culture, or shopping.

The agriturismo is also bike-friendly and collaborates with experienced guides to organize cycling excursions, both on-road and off-road, with options for E-bike rentals.
