The area where the Antico Casale Caroli is located, in Praticello di Gattatico, is surrounded by the countryside between Parma and Reggio Emilia. This region still retains the charm of a plain rich in history, nature, and traditions. Its strategic location, just 13 km from Reggio Emilia and 15 km from Parma, allows easy access to both cities while providing guests with the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere typical of rural Emilia.
The landscape is characteristic of the Bassa region, featuring green expanses, rows of poplar trees, farmhouses, and roads that still follow the ancient Roman centurial layout. The area is dotted with small villages and places of significant historical and cultural interest, such as Brescello, home to the museum dedicated to Don Camillo and Peppone, and Gualtieri, which hosts the Antonio Ligabue Museum. Also nearby is the Cervi Museum, a symbol of the Resistance, set in an actively cultivated agricultural backdrop.
Additionally, the Po River flows through the region, creating a naturally appealing corridor perfect for cycling, walking, and outdoor activities. The Monticelli Thermal Baths, located about 10 km away, offer wellness and health options, while the castles of the Matildic Lands, not far off, tell tales of ancient times set against stunning hilly landscapes.
Although Praticello is a fraction of Gattatico, it serves as the administrative heart of the municipality, boasting a long history that traces back to ancient times, from the Cenomani Gauls to the Lombards, through Carolingian rule, the Farnese family, and finally the Este Duchy. The remnants of this past are still evident in the architecture, place names, and the very structure of the land.
This setting offers guests at the Casale a unique opportunity to explore an authentic and less touristy Emilia, rich in peasant traditions, genuine cuisine, and landscapes that invite leisurely reflection, achieving a perfect balance between culture, nature, and hospitality.
