In the heart of the Emilia countryside, nestled between Parma and Reggio Emilia, the Antico Casale Caroli offers a refined hospitality experience in a beautifully restored 19th-century residence that harmoniously blends traditional charm with modern comforts. Surrounded by lush greenery and tranquility, this establishment serves as an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and authenticity while remaining close to significant cultural and artistic cities.

The rooms, each uniquely designed and some available as Junior Suites, are tastefully furnished in a simple yet elegant arte povera style, featuring air conditioning, a TV, a minibar, and Wi-Fi. The entire property is accessible to people with disabilities and is suitable for both short relaxation getaways and extended stays. Every detail reflects a commitment to guest care and a desire to provide an intimate and genuine experience, all within a setting that preserves the original character of the farmhouse.

Breakfast is a special occasion, enriched with local flavors such as erbazzone and Parmigiano Reggiano, alongside homemade pastries, fresh yogurt, organic jams, and excellent freshly ground coffee. The emphasis on sustainability is integral to the identity of the Casale, which utilizes photovoltaic and solar panels to minimize its environmental impact.

Additionally, the facility features a spacious event hall created from the old stables, ideal for meetings, conferences, or workshops. The atmosphere retains its original charm, thanks to historic columns and dedicated catering spaces, making it an exclusive venue for professional or private events.

Located in Praticello di Gattatico, just one kilometer from the Terre di Canossa – Campegine highway exit, the Casale is well-connected to various points of interest: the Cervi Museum, the Guareschi Museum in Brescello, the Monticelli Thermal Baths, the Matildic castles, and the Po floodplain are just a few examples. Guests can also enjoy an on-demand shuttle service, internal covered parking, and bicycle rentals for exploring the surroundings.

The passion and experience of Andrea Carpentieri, the founder and host of the Casale, shine through in the meticulous attention given to each guest, creating an atmosphere of hospitality defined by detail, listening, and care. After years spent working in hotels across Italy, Andrea chose to turn his vision into a tangible project, making Antico Casale Caroli a place where guests feel welcomed, valued, and at home.

Area Campagna

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.
