A stroll around the surroundings

Relaxation is far and wide in Tabiano. In addition to a spa break at the “breathing spa”, you can take long walks in the country parks and under the arcades. You can take one of the many routes through the countryside, an excursion on foot or on bikes. Or, you can climb up to Tabiano Castle to visit the manor house founded more than a thousand years ago.

Salsomaggiore is among the most popular spa destinations. The Berzieri baths are a masterpiece of the Liberty. In addition to the classic treatments, at Berzieri there are also the Mari d’Oriente (Seas of the East): five hundred square metres of relaxation in the salsobromoiodic water. Wellness doesn’t just come from the spa treatments. In the city and its surroundings, you can enjoy many sport activities. You can swim, play tennis, go for a run or face the eighteen-hole golf course, a few minutes from the centre.
