In the heart of Collecchio, Corte Vecchi stands as a historic residence rich in charm and captivating stories intertwined with noble traditions. Built about 120 years ago on an ancient group of medieval houses, the structure has come to life thanks to generations of illustrious families, starting with Count Angelo Francesco and Canon Don Carlo Angelo Gabbi in the 17th century, culminating with the noblewoman Emilia Torrigiani, who led the expansion of the surrounding vineyards. The subsequent wine singers of Parma, including French oenologists, made these lands famous all over the world, and the memories of these triumphs are preserved in the Wine Museum of Sala Baganza.
Having become a private residence over the years, Corte has maintained its original elegance, revealing a hybrid beauty that unites the past with the present. After a wise renovation, Corte Vecchi today presents itself as a refined Bed & Breakfast, open to the public by the Bertoli-Mandelli family, who wanted to create a welcoming and authentic environment where Emilian tradition blends with modern comfort. The establishment is enhanced by frescoes that adorn the common areas, while guests can enjoy the tranquility of a well-kept garden, perfect for moments of relaxation.
The three rooms, "Gruau," "Suite Vecchi," and "Torrigiani," offer exclusive hospitality for a total of six guests, each tastefully decorated and designed to ensure a serene and rejuvenating stay. Characterized by elegant details and equipped with all modern comforts, the rooms guarantee a cozy retreat, accompanied by a rich and varied breakfast, prepared with fresh and local ingredients. Every morning, guests can enjoy a selection of sweet and savory delights crafted to satisfy every palate.
Nestled in the evocative scenery of the Colli di Parma, Corte Vecchi constitutes the ideal starting point to explore a territory rich in culture, nature, and gastronomy. The strategic location allows easy access to historical sites, museums, and attractions such as the famous Terme di Sant'Andrea Bagni. The attention to detail and warm atmosphere make this historic residence a privileged retreat, where guests can experience true Emilian hospitality, immersing themselves in the charm of a past that continues to live on in the present.
