Antica Corte Pallavicina Relais

We spent two nights at ACP. Stellar restaurant (no pun intended), and great service all around. It really left a mark in our hearts and palates. Truly unique, and a must-try for the pork lovers from across the globe.

Great place. Great food. We ate at both restaurants and the Michelin star restaurant was absolutely worth it and great value. Culatello is everywhere and that’s why you are there. Rustic and takes you back in time. If you don’t like a farm, rustic atmosphere then not for you, but we loved it. Will go back!

We stayed two nights in this lovely Italian 14th century farmhouse. There is also a Michelin star restaurant and an other restaurant Osteria which is serving also breakfast. ||Our stay was very relaxing and pleasant in every way. |Staff was very very nice both in hotel and restaurants. Room was spacious, wifi was very good and air conditioning excellent. ||We ate dinner in both restaurants. In Massimo Spigaroli's Michelin star restaurant (which is also Forbes TOP 100 Italian restaurants list) we had a menu and wine package which was around 860 euros for four persons. We took a menu with lot of vegetables and actually no meat at all. And what is nice is that most of the incredients they use in their restaurants come from their own farm. Especially the dessert (Sabayon sauce + pears + ice cream) was a unique experience since it was done in front of us. It was also very nice that Mr Spigaroli came to say hello to us. ||They also produce Culatello in this farm and it was excellent. Once you have tasted excellent Culatello Parma ham is "nothing". Culatello we had in Osteria were we also tasted their white cows' meat. ||My friend had wanted to arrange a small surprise for us and they made the best cake ever for our anniversary. ||If you want to have a relaxing stay with good food I highly recommend this place.

Unfortunately our stay here was the low point of our trip. The biggest issue were cats. My husband is severely allergic to cat hair. They let cats roam around inside the entire property (except for the restaurant). When we advised our concern they said we should have told them about the cat allergy but we did not imagine that any accommodation would allow cats to roam inside the property (we understand they would be outside because it is a farm). One of the staff eventually agreed to close the main door however when another staff member took over the shift, she opened the door again and said she could not shut cats out of the property. Regarding the room: It was very basic which is fine but there's a strong odor throughout the area because of the culatello cellar. Food: The main restaurant itself was beautiful however the food was bland and extremely over-priced especially when compared to other 3 Michelin star restaurants. Breakfast: Very limited options and lots of flies hovering around the food. The service was lacking. We drove 2 hours to eat and stay there but would give it a hard miss.

At first me and my fiance wanted to express our most warming appreciation to the whole team of Antica Corte Pallavicina. You made my birthday dream come true, both in direct (amazing decoration of the room, by the request of my beloved fiance) and indirect meaning (the level of service, knowledge of all the details, readiness to help on any request). When you pass the gates of the relais, you immediately feel the calmness and such a magical atmosfere around. A separate paragraph I should give to the Michelin restaurant. We were in love starting from the butter. It had the taste of childhood, when your grandmother put a fresh creamy butter on a fresh bread. We had shivers. Well, if we start so good, you might understand that the continuation was even better. I should be sincere, comming here, I wasn’t expecting THIS level. The place is worth a second star. One more time. Huge respect for all the people working here. And for the people working for the restaurant and hosteria. Guys work until late night, but you can see them fresh and ready to service you in the early morning for breakfast.

Best culatello in an enchanted location with incredible cellars where all the goods are matured! De dining room is so pretty, especially in colder moths with the fireplace. Service is very attractive and incredibly friendly! More than highly recommend

I was traveling solo and stayed a night at the hotel. Lovely setting, peaceful and quiet with the forest and river all around. The meat curing in the cellar permeates the whole hotel though, but still it was a lovely spot. However, I spent the night to have dinner at the Michelin starred restaurant. That was much worse than what I expected from such a place. The service was inconsistent, sometimes I waited up to 15 minutes for the wine pairing AFTER the course was served. Other tables got much more attention; several arriving, eating, and leaving as I watched. Dinner took 3.5 hours in total. A few of the dishes were lacking flavor, Plain combinations. I was seriously shocked. For €200 I expected interesting food and top notch service with a solid wine paring. This was the most expensive “meh” of my life.

We had a wonderful one night stay and dinner in the Antica Corte Pallavicina. The dinner was fantastic, especially their Pasta and dessert were outstanding. Thank you very much for the wonderfull experience!
