Relais Cascina Scottina, Cadeo, Piacenza
The Hotel Relais Cascina Scottina, Cadeo - this Cadeo hotel is a place of ultimate comfort and well being, an old Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with 14 beautifully renovated rooms, in the heart of the Piacenza countryside.
Lying some 14 kilometres south east of Piacenza, the little Emilia Romagna town of Cadeo has an ancient history, being a longtime staging post for pilgrims on the ancient Via Emilia to Rome. A small town of just 5600 souls, it got its name Ca-deo, from its religious links, being a contraction of Casa Deo, house of God. This Cadeo hotel makes for a lovely way to enjoy the beautiful countryside of Emilia Romagna and be within striking distance of the city. Piacenza is a very old town, long predating the Romans, and with its earliest known settlers being the Ligure and Celtic tribes.
There are a number of fine palazzi, including the Palazzo Comunale, or 'il Gotico', which sits on the Piazza Cavalli in the heart of town, and which is beautifully lit up at night. There is the Romanesque Duomo di Piacenza, a dozen other fine churches and some lovely public gardens. The cuisine of Emilia Romagna is famed throughout Italy too. The staff at this Cadeo hotel will be happy to advise on the best places to eat. Try pancetta, coppa and salame, Bortellina pancakes and pisarei e faso ... a delicious mixture of handmade pasta and beans.
Rooms at this Cadeo hotel have minibar, phone, TV, bathroom and air conditioning. The hotel has a solarium and hammam, WiFi internet access and the Antica Osteria della Pesa restaurant, for traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist.
