Relais Roncolo 1888

Ride into the heart of the Apennines from Quattro Castella, choosing between mountain bike or an electric bike to match your pace. Trails wind through the estate and the surrounding Parco di Roncolo, offering varied terrain – forest paths, open meadows and gentle climbs that reward with wide views of the countryside. You can follow marked routes or join a guided tour to learn more about the area’s natural features and wildlife.

The bikes allow you to cover more ground than on foot, making it easy to reach hidden spots while staying active. Each ride gives you a direct connection to the land and its changing landscapes.

Step into a golfing experience that tests skill and focus. Just 10 minutes away from your base, the Matilde di Canossa course offers 18 holes with varied challenges – from tight fairways to strategically placed hazards. If you prefer a slightly longer drive, the Modena Golf & Country Club, around 40 minutes away, provides another full course to test your game.

The team at the estate can organise your green fee and tee time, so all you need to do is arrive and play. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or enjoying a relaxed round, the courses give a clear sense of space, strategy and pace.

Spend a day immersed in the art and history of the region. Guided visits take you through the Collezione Maramotti, where modern pieces meet bold architecture or Palazzo Magnani, rich with exhibitions spanning centuries. The Labirinto della Masone offers a unique combination of gardens and collections, while the Pilotta Palace shows off Parma’s historical treasures. Each location provides a different perspective on the culture and creativity that shaped the area.

Moving from gallery to gallery, you’ll see works in context, learning stories behind the pieces. The day offers a structured yet flexible way to engage directly with art, architecture and heritage.
