The spa town of Monticelle Terme lies around 10km south east of the city of Parma, and just south of the ancient Via Emilia. This was for many centuries one of the main highways of Europe, and part of the pilgrims' route to Rome. The road that was trodden by a million pairs of sandals now echoes to the sound of cars and lorries heading for the Italian Adriatic coast, but your Monticelle Terme hotel is in a pleasant backwater, the town sitting amid the lovely countryside of Emilia-Romagna region.

This part of northern Italy is famed for its food and wine - largely regarded as Italy's finest, though the other regions might quibble. Cities such as Bologna and Parma are famed for their cuisine and their restaurants, and it's all on your doorstep. You can be in Parma very quickly from here. This fine and ancient city has the lovely Romanesque Cathedral (il Duomo), a collection of other important medieval churches and palazzi, a half dozen good museums and galleries, and the Farnese Theatre. This Monticelli Terme hotel is a great way to enjoy it all.
