The area where Casa dei Cuori is located is in the hills of Parma, a harmonious and lush landscape that stretches across forests, meadows, paths, and small villages steeped in history and tradition. At an elevation of just 550 meters, the region offers a pleasant climate throughout the year, clean air, and a refreshing silence, only interrupted by the sounds of nature. From here, numerous trails are available for exploration on foot or by e-bike, winding through chestnut groves, streams, and clearings where one can encounter deer, badgers, squirrels, and a diverse array of birds of prey.
Not far away are significant historical and cultural destinations such as the Castello di Torrechiara, one of the best-preserved examples of 15th-century castle architecture, and the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route that traverses the area, providing breathtaking views. Parma, with its theaters, museums, churches, events, and vibrant historic center, can be reached in less than half an hour and serves as the cultural and gastronomic hub of the entire region.
For mountain and hiking enthusiasts, the Parco dei Cento Laghi is about an hour's drive away. This protected area in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines is rich in biodiversity, featuring alpine landscapes, glacial lakes, and an extensive network of trails, some of which are served by ski lifts and mountain lodges at elevations exceeding 1600 meters.
The region is also deeply connected to Emilian culinary culture: Langhirano, famous for its prosciutto, along with the many farms and dairies in the area, offers experiences related to the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, tastings, and guided tours. Taverns and trattorias serve traditional dishes made with local ingredients, complemented by excellent wines from the Parma hills.
This blend of nature, culture, tradition, and flavors makes the area an ideal destination for those looking to uncover the most authentic soul of Emilia, amidst tranquility and beauty.
