Parma: the “Ville en rose”

  • PARMA – Northern of Italy

If you are in northern Italy, one hour from Milan, you will find the city of Parma, the “Ville en rose”, famous for its Prosciutto and Parmesan cheese, known all over the world!

BUT, it is not only the culinary specialties that attract so many visitors! Parma is rich in history, the Duomo, the Churches, the Baptistery, the very famous Teatro Regio which hosts fantastic programs of classical music every season.

Visiting these churches will make you discover beautiful paintings and statues, decorated floors and ancient organs…

Frequent are the references in Parma to his Napoleonic past and to the Imperial Princess and Archduchess of Austria Maria Luigia …

 

Then, a nice quiet walk, through the streets and alleys of a small town that moves by bike, among well-kept shops and lovely restaurants.

 

In short, find out about the concerts and plan to stop in Parma at least one night …. it is an elegant but “young city”, full of Italian and foreign university students

Not to be missed!

In Castiglione d’Orcia ( Tuscany), amazing area, not far from Montepulciano and Motalcino (for lovers of excellent wine) right in a forest, I point out these hot springs of thermal water, whose access is free: the “Bagni di San Filippo”.

Near Mountain Amiata, these waterfalls that alternate hot and cold pools of water, await you. Tanks of white limestone among the trees and you can also make thermal mud!

Look for the entrance to the “Fosso Bianco”, nearby you can also stop in the bar that offers typical products and excellent wines.

On beautiful winter days, with plenty of towels, you can enjoy a truly special day!

Rest in Rome under the “Sistine Chapel fresco”

Rome in November, on sunny days, allows you to walk lightly, even in short sleeves!

In the evening the sunsets give you moments crystallized in the warmer colors which are reflected on the Tiber’s waters and on the monuments around you…

 

After walking, photographing, visiting, what could be better than relaxing in a nice hotel room in the center of Rome?

Where to sleep? Choosing an Hotel or a Guest House among the many offers, becomes difficult if you do not know…

I will point out this address if you want to spend a few days in the eternal city, especially if you are a couple, and at the right value for money!

Gianluca e Veruska are the managers of this delight, white rooms, very well furnished, with all the comforts and, more importantly, with an attention to the guest that makes the difference!

 

In the winter evenings, lying on the bed after walking for kilometers, you will be delighted by the warmth of the fireplacewith a glass of fresh proseccco offered by your guests!
