The Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is a territory to be discovered and loved: history, art, culture and of course food and wine make the lifestyle of this wonderful land unique, where not only castles and fortresses, but even the noble villas, unwitting witnesses through the ages, tell history through the many stories of the characters who have inhabited, lived and loved them. This is the case of Villa Mutti in Maiatico, one of the most significant villas in the Parma area, known for having been the residence of the Marquise Araldi-Trecchi and having hosted Garibaldi on several occasions, who was linked to the Marquise, according to the sources of the era, from an affectionate friendship.
Immersed in its beautiful park, and within the Natural Reserve of the Carrega Woods, the villa looks like a typical early 19th-century stately home, with a tetragonal plan with a roof terrace at the top. Despite its linear simplicity, the villa is very elegant, with the internal layout typical of country noble residences, the central corridors and side rooms. Spread over two levels plus the attic.
On the ground floor we find the living area, large and bright, with large windows overlooking the surrounding garden, the lounge, study, kitchen, bathroom. The sleeping area is located on the first floor, with four bedrooms and a bathroom. The attic is also decidedly fascinating with its high ceilings with exposed beams, and above all the belvedere, which overlooks the entire valley and allows the gaze to travel between the woods and the city. To complete the property a large cellar. The last renovation dates back to around the 1950s, and therefore lends itself to a customization that perhaps knows how to combine classic beauty with more modern design in a perfect game of balance between respect for the past and the contemporary way of life.
Sala Baganza is a municipality located about 12 km south of Parma, along the Parma – Fornovo axis, in a central position on the main communication routes in Northern Italy and in the heart of the Food Valley, a land of culinary excellence (such as Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano and Malvasia wine) and close to the Boschi di Carrega, a naturalistic heritage of extreme beauty, a former hunting reserve of the Farnese family, now a wildlife and naturalistic oasis, an ideal location for walks, picnics and cognitive itineraries of the local flora and fauna . Located a few km from the prestigious La Rocca di Sala Baganza Golf Club, the villa is also easily accessible from the A15 Parma La-Spezia motorway and the A1 Milan-Bologna motorway.
