Located on the green hills of Piacenza, 700 meters above sea level, you will find a cozy bed and breakfast that used to be an old carpentry workshop, immersed in the traditions of a family deeply rooted in the area. This strategic location is ideal for exploring the numerous local attractions, including churches, Romanesque parishes, and castles such as Gropparello, Castelnuovo Fogliani, Castell'Arquato, Vigoleno, and the enchanting medieval village of Grazzano Visconti with its narrow streets surrounded by greenery and artisan workshops.
There is no shortage of leisure options: the Fairy Tale Park of Gropparello for children, the Adventure Academy survival school, the swimming pools of Gropparello, Lugagnano Val d'Arda, and Carpaneto Piacentino with their festivals.

Relaxation in nature is guaranteed by the Monte Moria Provincial Park, ideal for walks and bike excursions, while several riding stables are located near the bed and breakfast.
Food lovers will find satisfaction among the towns and hills of Piacenza, with 18 varieties of D.O.C. wines, including Gutturnio, Ortrugo, and Bonarda, to be enjoyed with D.O.P. cured meats and cheeses during archaeological visits or picnics.
