Our spacious Pet, Bike, & Eco-Friendly Room & Breakfast, called "TOLASUDOLSA" (in the Parmesan dialect: take it easy), is located at 830 meters above sea level on the Parma Apennines. We are immersed in absolute green, far from everything.
The experience and the atmosphere will be very familiar with the pleasure of falling asleep in the evening and waking up in the morning with the sounds of the forest, wild animals and the mountains.
The traditional cuisine is homely, genuine and tries to satisfy a tourism that is more respectful of the environment, economy and community, especially local (natural cuisine, anti-waste, locally grown products, self-production, etc.)..
The main entrance is divided to enter the G/F, where Valeria and Giorgio, the owners, reside and the R&B is at the 1/F. Here there are the 3 simple, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, a large common dining room and 2 bathrooms. Smoking is prohibited inside and outside the house.
Four beautiful cats live with Giorgio and Valeria; they are free to move even outside, so the presence of any other pets must be agreed upon booking.
WHAT TO DO - The location is ideal for day trips in Lunigiana-Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Sestri Levante and/or Chiavari or in Parma and Bologna to visit the Castles and ancient hamlets of the area.
It is also possible to practice sports such as mountainbike, motorcycle enduro, trekking, trailrunning, riding, snowshoeing, sleedog, nordic skiing and cross country skiing. The area is famous for the Borgo Val di Taro IGP porcini mushroom, for the Valceno truffle and for the delicious mountain food and wine, presenting dishes influenced by the Parmesan, Ligurian and Tuscan traditions.
NEARBY - The Ghirardi WWF Oasis, about 5Km, spread over 600 hectares of meadows, woods and streams.
