There are several ski resorts within an hour’s drive, the imposing rock, the Pietra di Bismantova is one of the training centres for national climbing and alpine rescue, the property is in the heart of the Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan) area and there is a rich local tradition of organic farming and production with the local bakers, butchers and dairies all providing high quality produce.
