Description

An old country house becomes a welcoming B&B surrounded by the green hills of the Piacentino, only a short distance from the attractions of Castell'Arquato, one of the most beautiful and fascinating localities in the area. Restoration of the building, which fully respects the original spaces and local materials, was effected both structurally and in the choice of furnishings and domestic antiques, stylishly recycled whilst still evoking the humble origins of this old worker’s cottage. The house offers a peaceful haven immersed in the landscape whilst still being an excellent starting point for exploratory excursions discovering the locality’s art, its gastronomy and quality wines, or else for walks along the country paths and tracks flanking the Piacenziano National Reserve.

Breakfast

For your breakfast we use only local products, fresh and seasonal from local farms where fruit and vegetables ripen on the plant and the jams are made with fruit from our trees. The meats are from local producers and eggs from the chicken coop. Our breakfasts are usually sweet but if you want to get up later and a salty breakfast more substantial you can arrange Bed and Brunch.

Rural structure near the beautiful town of Castell’Arquato, splendidly renovated with reclaimed materials. The view and location instill a very pleasant sense of relaxation. Fantastic breakfast prepared by the skilled hands of Chiara, as well as the fantastic manager of the farm stay. Only flaw: bidet is missing.

I can only leave an excellent review for this wonderful, well-kept structure positioned in a truly beautiful corner. Clean rooms, very spacious and tastefully furnished. I also very much appreciated the stove in the room that creates a great atmosphere... \n\nCongratulations to Chiara who is truly hospitable, kind, and friendly. The breakfast was very good and abundant too... The apple pie she prepared for us was exceptional. \n\nWe had a great time and I would definitely come back to this structure.

This is the best B&B ever. The location is beautifully situated in the Apennines, close to the medieval town of Castell'Arquato. The property is authentic and is located in a large garden full of flowers, figs, and olive trees, with perfect terraces to relax on and enjoy nature. We loved our spacious room for its comfort, privacy, and cleanliness. And above all, the real gem of this place was our host Chiara, who truly is a superhost. She made us feel very welcome, served a delicious breakfast with a new and nice surprise every day. She was warm and witty and made us really feel at home. It is a place to come back to.

Really heartwarming sharing our house with such caring and attentive guests. Until next time! AMICI OLANDESI TORNATE PRESTO!!

daniel

The property is almost at the peak of the hill, the road that leads to it is not lit up at all but driving slowly will let you reach the private parking without problems. The view and the audible peace are the best part of the property: you can see through all the plains and hear the constant sound of birds and bees. The only thing I didn't like was that the windows lack external shutters, so the morning light makes its way through the curtains. However, the view you can see from the breakfast room and the kindness and the cooking skill of the host made us forget this little inconvenience. Both mornings she prepared us delicious warm strudel and biscuits. That made our day!

La Cinghialina is a very charming place. It thrives on a personality that treasures careful attention to detail. Chiara's management, a lover of history and art connoisseur, is evident in every corner. As a B&B, it is recommended for the peace, the view, and the surrounding nature. The rooms are humble and functional. As you enter, you are welcomed by a sense of peace. The scent of cinnamon invites you to relax. Chiara is a very attentive and dedicated host, making you feel comfortable. After a restful night, a simple, humble, and tasty breakfast awaited us. Overall, a positive experience. However, be mindful of people with mobility difficulties. Some rooms are only accessible after a long series of steps. I recommend contacting Chiara in advance.

We had a very pleasant one-night stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast nestled in the countryside. The landscape is enchanting, quiet, perfect for relaxation. The room is very spacious, well-kept, clean, and has independent access. The breakfast is plentiful, in a family-like atmosphere. Chiara is an excellent host, kind, caring, and smiling. We had a great time! The location is excellent for reaching all the places of interest. Excellent value for money.

Kindness, passion, and professionalism of the landlady made us feel immediately at home. Private parking nearby. Quality structure where attention to detail was greatly appreciated. We were given the ground floor room (the stable): beautiful spacious room with a touch of elegance in the bright cut on the floor. Perhaps a mirror is missing for the ladies. Exceptional breakfast with very fresh products. Commendable careful advice for the restaurant and places to visit as well as for buying local products. Excellent B&B. Congratulations.

Meanwhile, I had to put in some fantasy dates because I can't see the July calendar, however the property is beautiful, surrounded by greenery, the details of the rooms are very original and show a remarkable inventiveness, the owner is very kind (and is also an accredited guide, arrange a private visit with her to a place that interests you). Very pleasant breakfast in the kitchen, a familiar and well-kept place at the same time, excellent brioches.

Quiet place, well-maintained, Gianni and Chiara are friendly and very cultured hosts. La Cinghialina is a beautiful room, with a view as far as the eye can see (on days when it's possible) over the surrounding hills and the vast plain. Rich breakfast, with homemade jams and fresh bread, fruit, and cakes.

Near the beautiful Castell'Arquato, we discovered this little gem: an ancient farmhouse finely restored from which you can enjoy the beautiful spectacle of the Piacenza hills. The friendliness and competence of the owner, Mrs. Chiara, allowed us to discover and taste the local specialties and to visit enchanting places for natural and artistic beauties. A bed & breakfast that we highly recommend.
