The town of Berceto, in the province of Parma, is set in the Apennine hills between Parma and the sea connected by the A15 motorway. The area is dotted with excellent restaurants and pretty medieval villages. It was once a pilgrim route and the imposing church (Duomo) in the town has a Romanesque imprint with elaborate portal and architectural layout. Berceto is the last stop on the Via Francigena (the old pilgrim way connecting Canterbury to Rome and now a well known hiking trail) before the Apennine pass. The town is full of character and an atmosphere of the Middle Ages, with stone houses, arches, lanes, ancient alleyways and walled gardens.

The lovely town of Parma is less than an hour away, and it is about the same time to the sea. Bologna and Pisa airports are 1 1/2 hours, Milan Linate airport 1 hr 40 mins.
