Description
In Castell'Arquato, at the foot of the Medieval Old Town.

"SOTTO IL CASTELLO" you will find self-contained apartments, equipped with all comforts, all inclusive and only for you.

Castell'Arquato, a City of Art, a Wine City, surprises from the first glance, with its wonderful Medieval appearance.

Located about 30km from Piacenza and a little more from Parma, it conveys a dense fabric of history, nature and charm.

It has become part of the Club of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, has received the TCI Orange Flag certification, is a protagonist of the circuit of the Castles of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, of the Wine and Flavors Road of the Piacenza Hills, and is also a City for Peace.

Characteristic is the intact Medieval atmosphere of the historical center. Located on the left bank of the Arda river, its strategic position is still immediately noticeable today; in fact, it is located on a hill that dominates the plain.

The wines are a local production of excellence. Monterosso Val d'Arda and Gutturnio are among the most valuable. The production of cured meats derives from an ancient tradition. The restaurants and trattorias boast a high-quality cuisine, recognized by the main tourist guides. In the municipality's territory, in addition to the Old Town, there are significant natural and sports attractions, such as the Placenziano Park and the Castell'Arquato Golf.

"SOTTO IL CASTELLO"
The apartments are equipped with all comforts, a kitchen equipped with appliances, crockery, an espresso machine for breakfast and meals preparation.

Each apartment has a spacious living room with TV and a double sofa bed which, if necessary, can accommodate one or two additional beds.

You will have a plentiful breakfast at your disposal with pastries, savory dishes, and fruit. The bathroom is complete with a shower, linens, soap, shower gel, hairdryer, and washing machine.

The double bedrooms are furnished and equipped with a crib for children.

Large private parking and independent entrance. The use of the kitchen and washing machine is included in the price.

Cleaning is done every three days with a change of linens.

You will always have the keys to the house, so you will not be bound by schedules. We will always be at your disposal for any information and issues.

"Under the Castle" is ideal for families, for short and long stays, as if you were at home, with significant savings.

Children up to three years old are free. Small pets are welcome.

Also ideal for a romantic getaway.

The bus stop is located about 100 meters away.

On request for extended stays, we offer personalized quotes.

We had never stayed in a bed and breakfast before, only in hotels. For the vintage car gathering event "vernasca 2023", we booked this bed and breakfast run by Mrs. Pinuccia. Well... what can I say? We felt completely at home! The sweet Mrs. Pinuccia tends to spoil her guests. We were wonderfully welcomed. Then, once inside the house, there were only sounds of pleasure at seeing the fridge full of every delicacy... I don't know how many types of milk were there... then fruit juices of all kinds, lemons, cherries, and other fruits, water at will... in short, this was just the contents of the fridge, while on the table, well set, there was a splendid pie with jam, typical of the area, made by Mrs. Pinuccia (I must admit that I wrapped up the leftovers and took them away). Not to mention the contents in the cupboard full of every sweet for breakfast. The apartment is truly comfortable, very clean, and new. Another convenient thing was the garage for our vintage car, automatic gate, and ample maneuvering space. Mrs. Pinuccia was always present and available. We absolutely lacked nothing. My husband and I are grateful for all the attention given.

Very charming property, reserved parking, a beautiful open patio to enjoy in the evening for a glass of wine or simply admire the view. Mrs. Pinuccia welcomed us with the hospitality that only the people of these parts know how to offer. She made us comfortable in a very nice mini apartment equipped with every comfort, just a stone's throw from the village of Castell'Arquato, wonderful to visit all the way to the top where you can enjoy a breathtaking view (prepare with comfortable shoes... and breath!). Large and comfortable bed, very comfortable pillows, wardrobe space to store clothes during the stay. We stayed only for a short time but we will definitely return! For those staying a few days, in addition to the numerous places nearby, there are supermarkets, shops, and any necessity within walking distance. 20 minutes by car from Fidenza Village for those who want to go shopping. Independently, you can have breakfast in the morning with everything you need already provided by Mrs. Pinuccia (special mention to the vegetable milk for intolerants), yogurt, fruit juices, water bottles, decaffeinated tea, a pod machine for espresso coffee, a cupboard with packaged snacks, jams, muesli and a typical local cake, a shortcrust pastry filled with delicious plum and amaretto jam! Thank you Pinuccia! Goodbye!

Comfortable mini apartment on the basement floor of a small building a short walk from the center of the ancient village of Castell'Arquato, also reachable on foot with a pleasant walk, beautiful to do both during the day and in the evening through the illuminated path that also passes over the Arda river. Exquisite welcome from the owners, just as exquisite was the homemade cake we found upon our arrival, ready to enjoy, along with everything needed for a rich breakfast. Private parking a few steps from the entrance, convenient and quiet location. Recommended.

The apartment is new, the decor is well-kept, and all possible services are available. It is indeed an apartment and not just a room. It's a stone's throw from the village of Castell'Arquato, so it's very convenient to reach the village on foot. The owner is very kind and helpful, she made us find a delicious cake and everything needed for a rich breakfast. Fully approved and recommended! Castell'Arquato is beautiful! Heartfelt thanks to Pinuccia.

First of all, I would like to point out that it was the first time and I didn't know the owner even though our surnames are similar. The B&B is amazing and fabulous, unfortunately, I only stayed one night but I will definitely return with great pleasure. The two-room apartment is carefully furnished, it has everything and more like at our home, the kitchen with all appliances and on the table, to start with, a sublime homemade cake, in the fridge yogurt, milk and fruit, butter and everything you need for a real breakfast: espresso coffee machine, tea, jams, rusks, biscuits and more. In the bathroom, everything for showering and bathing, soaps, shampoos, etc for a week, hairdryer, hairdryer. Mosquito nets on the windows. You sleep well, even the car is safe, parked in the fenced private square. I recommend it to everyone, I will definitely go back. Thank you Pinuccia.

My family and I stayed at 'Sotto il Castello' to explore the villages and castles. We chose it for its central location that allows easy access to the most beautiful places in the area. The accommodation is quiet, clean, welcoming, and fully equipped with everything needed, we felt at home. Mrs. Pinuccia was very friendly and welcomed us with a delicious homemade dessert. Highly recommended.

The apartment is located in a quiet and cool place, despite the intense heat, there was no need for air conditioning or anything else. It's super equipped with any utensil. It's perfect as a base to explore the surroundings, being convenient to the road for the car, and within walking distance to Castell'Arquato which is right in front. Mrs. Pinuccia was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast was abundant and meticulously prepared, including the delicious homemade tart. The apartment was very large and suitable for 4/5 people. I highly recommend it for a tour of the Castles.

Ideal apartment for the three of us. Cozy, well-equipped, good location. As for the owner... well, what can I say, she really made us feel comfortable, friendly, cheerful, and courteous. A truly lovely person. The breakfast was super ok. The cake she prepared was truly top-notch. If I have to make a negative comment, well, between her and my wife, they never stopped chatting, but to this, as all men well know, there is no remedy.

I needed a room to spend a night near Fiorenzuola and I found this property in Castell'Arquato. An apartment at our disposal that the very kind manager allowed us to occupy the next day and thus leave calmly in the afternoon. Thanks again, the property, being a basement, was quite cool despite the heat of these days. Abundantly supplied scented towels allowed us to take more showers and thus better withstand the heat. A thank you also goes to the daughter, Beatrice, who waited for us in the sun and escorted us to the property!
