Area Collina

Cà del Duca is situated in Compiano, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, nestled in the heart of the Val Taro, a lush and unspoiled valley of the Parma Apennines. At an altitude of 500 meters, the establishment is surrounded by vibrant forests, scenic trails, and small villages rich in history, providing an ideal setting for those seeking relaxation and nature.

Nearby stands the majestic Compiano Castle, a well-preserved medieval fortress that overlooks the village with its impressive structure. Not far away, Bardi Castle offers one of the most stunning views in the region, with its walls overlooking the Val Ceno. Both castles feature permanent exhibitions and historical trails that narrate the intriguing stories of these captivating sites.

For nature enthusiasts, the area boasts numerous hiking and cycling routes, including those that traverse the WWF Ghirardi Wildlife Oasis, a 600-hectare natural reserve where visitors can observe native flora and fauna in an environment of extraordinary beauty. In the surrounding woods, the collection of PGI porcini mushrooms is a deeply rooted tradition, and during the autumn months, the region comes alive with fairs dedicated to this delicacy.

Val Taro is also renowned for its culinary delights: the Ham and Wines Road of the Colli Parmensi winds through hills and vineyards, offering the chance to taste local specialties such as Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional cured meats, and the famous Borgotaro porcini mushrooms. Throughout the year, neighboring towns host events and festivals celebrating local traditions, such as the National Porcini Mushroom Fair and chestnut festivals.

Just a few kilometers away, the historic Via Francigena crosses the valley, retracing the ancient path of pilgrims heading to Rome. This route retains the charm and spirituality of bygone times, featuring churches, medieval villages, and breathtaking landscapes.

Thanks to its strategic location, Cà del Duca allows guests to enjoy a stay filled with history, nature, and authentic flavors, with opportunities to explore the hidden treasures of one of the most enchanting areas of the Apennines.
