Rec for BnB or Agriturismo in Parma/Emilia-Romagna area

I'm having troubles finding an Agriturismo, winery with rooms or BnB in the Parma - Emilia- Romagna area. We need 4 bedrooms (no bunks) and preferably a place that also has a restaurant in case we decided to stay there for dinner. We will have cars. I've emailed several places and don't get responses back? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I have in mind Corte d'Aibo or Garuti, but both are between Modena and Bologna.

That sounds strange. Let us know which places you have contacted already, and your general price range.

I've heard good things about:

https://www.villinodiporporano.com

and Agriturismo Leoni

Have you looked at Piacenza as a base?

Many of the agriturismi in the low-moderate price range will not have websites in English, but if you discount those in your search, you may be missing out on some good places that are not especially geared towards English-speaking tourists, and maybe that is a good thing.....

If you can I would suggest https://www.anticacortepallavicinarelais.it/. It has been about 8 years since we were last there, but by far the most unbelievable experience we have had in Italy in all our travels. You must eat there if you can for a special meal and the breakfast the best we have ever had! The cellars of the building are where the culatello is cured. Seems they have more rooms now than when we stayed and the price has gone up. The chef Massimo Spigeroli is the owner and raises the special black pigs. Seems like they now have a museum of culatello. The inn/restaurant that his brother runs not too far away was also spectacular.

If being a winery is not important, I suggest even Il Vigneto or Mulino Casa Sforza. Both very nice!

Thanks All..I'm still checking into these and I appreciate the suggestions. I don't really like to go through 3rd party booking sites, so I try contacting places directly.
