There are places full of history and poetry…
This impressive ancient palace of the 17th century, also known as Palazzo del Duca, set on the historic main borgo of Tavernelle, was a summer residence of the Podestà and Este Family (Duke of Parma).
Restored in 1991 and renewed in 2008, the palace has its original features, like spacious living areas and terracotta floors,  local sandstone portals and doors and  stunning vaults. It also boasts a wonderful ancient staircase and  in a bedroom there is even a fireplace, a 'must' for all the ancient Lords of the 1700.

The access to Palazzo del Duca is from the main road of Tavernelle.
The palace has a secondary access onto an internal private partially paved garden which provides a peaceful area for relaxing, dining and cooling-off on summer evenings.
