Ok

What a surprise little gem. We had no idea about the connection with Leonardo and the Mona Lisa. It was very interesting to learn about. The castle itself was very interesting and presented so many wonderful views of the surrounding area from each of the 5 floors.

It let me down, nothing special, the visit was a bit annoying

Great place 👌.

(Translated by Google) Malaspina Castle - dal Verme is located in the upper part of Bobbio's historic center. The manor was built in the fourteenth century on an older fortification. The modifications that transformed the castle into a noble residence in the seventeenth century are evident. The climb to the keep is interesting, offering magnificent views of the Trebbia Valley. (Original) Il Castello Malaspina - dal Verme è situato nella parte alta del centro storico di Bobbio. Il maniero fu costruito nel quattordicesimo secolo su una fortificazione più antica. Evidenti le modifiche che nel seicento trasformarono il castello in dimora gentilizia. È interessante la salita sul Mastio, che consente una vista magnifica sulla val Trebbia.

(Translated by Google) Bobbio Castle is small, five stories high, and doesn't host many exhibitions. However, the castle has its romantic corners, and from the fifth floor you can enjoy panoramic views in all directions. Admission is inexpensive, and the visit doesn't take long. We, however, spent quite a bit of time there watching an interactive video installation. The theme is: "Did Leonardo da Vinci paint his Mona Lisa here?" The bridge in this masterpiece is definitely the Ponte Gobbio di Bobbio. A visit is highly recommended for anyone interested in this topic. The video is available in Italian, French, German, Spanish, and English. (Original) Il castello di Bobbio è piccolo, alto 5 piani, e non ospita molte mostre. Ciononostante, il castello ha i suoi angoli romantici e dal 5 piano si può godere di una vista panoramica in tutte le direzioni. L' ingresso è economico e la visita non richiede molto tempo. Noi invece abbiamo trascorso un bel po' di tempo lì guardando un'installazione video interattiva. Il tema è: "Leonardo da Vinci ha dipinto qui la sua Gioconda?" Il ponte in questo capolavoro è sicuramente il Ponte Gobbio di Bobbio. Una visita è altamente consigliato a chiunque sia interessato a questo tema. Il video è disponibile in italiano, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, inglese.

(Translated by Google) A 14th-century castle located in the upper part of the village. Built by a member of the Malaspina family, it later passed to the Visconti family, who then granted it to the Dal Verme family. It is now state-owned and managed by the municipality. There are five floors open to visitors, the top floor of which, featuring numerous large windows replacing the previous arrow slits, offers a beautiful view of the village and its surroundings. Despite the almost total absence of furniture, the charm of this mighty fortress remains intact. (Original) Castello risalente al XIV secolo e situato nella parte alta del borgo; fatto costruire da un esponente della famiglia Malaspina, passò in seguito ai Visconti che lo assegnarono poi ai Dal Verme. Ora è di proprietà dello Stato e la sua gestione è comunale. I piani visitabili sono 5, di cui l’ultimo, provvisto di numerosi finestroni in sostituzione delle precedenti feritoie, offre un bel panorama sul paese ed il circondario. Nonostante la quasi totale assenza di mobilio resta intatto il fascino di questa possente fortezza.

Really cool historic bridge with a stunning view. We parked outside the town, just next to the bridge. There's nothing much around, but it was worth the hour drive for us.

Beautiful place, in fact the village has been awarded as the most beautiful village in Italy couple of years back. I fully agree with that! Since we went on Xmas day, there were literally nobody around. The drive through the hill (last 10-15mins of drive) is bit difficult since the width of the road is just enough for one vehicle. But with almost no traffic, seems to be ok. I love to visit the tourist places when it is empty, and I am glad I picked the Xmas day for the visit. There is a restaurant near this bridge, but was closed. The village also was very quite. Just my kind of place!

Amazing medieval bridge below which is an area of river perfect for swimming. Lots of families, my children had a great time swimming about looking at the fish. Some shade under the arches of the bridge, recommend taking a picnic.

Great old bridge that you can walk from(into Bobbio. Also, it's possible to have a swim nearby, or cool your feet off

Historic Bridgestone with nice view. Good for stopover if you are driving through.

This old Roman bridge is worth a stop and walk over. Anyway if you want to take a nice pic you need to get to the other side. It's one if those places you can almost feel the history.

Beautiful bridge

(Translated by Google) It's all beautiful, but how come no one told you to raise the screen, it's already hard to see from the second row; and change seats? I have to laugh at writing a review like that, but someone has to tell you. The rest is admirable. (Original) Tutto bellissimo, ma possibile che nessuno vi dica che dovreste alzare lo schermo, non si vede già dalla seconda fila; e cambiare sedie? Mi scappa da ridere a fare una recensione del genere, ma qualcuno Ve lo dovrà pur dire. Il resto è ammirevole.

(Translated by Google) Impeccable organization, an evocative place that transports you into a suspended time, perfect for watching films created to truly tell something about humanity. They are films that delve into emotions without falling into sterile, tedious and fashionable intellectualism or easy entertainment as happens with commercial productions. The Festival reminds us that exercising the ability to think increases the pleasure we can experience. (Original) Organizzazione impeccabile, luogo suggestivo che traghetta in un tempo sospeso perfetto per la visione di film nati per raccontare davvero qualcosa dell'umano. Sono pellicole che scavano dentro alle emozioni senza scadere o in intellettualismi sterili, tediosi e di maniera o in facili sollazzi come avviene con le produzioni commerciali. Il Festival ci ricorda che esercitare la capacità di pensare aumenta il piacere che possiamo provare.

(Translated by Google) Nice place. Well organised. The cushions on the chairs are a great idea. Allows close contact with actors, directors, etc. (Original) Bel posto. Ben organizzato. Ottima idea i cuscinetti sulle sedie. Consente un contatto ravvicinato con attori, registi, ecc.

(Translated by Google) Charming village with a small and human-sized center. Beautiful square on the street with its narrow streets and the main church. Iconic Roman bridge that overlooks the Trebbia river. Festivals and banquets on weekends. (Original) Incantevole borgo con un centro piccolo ed a misura d'uomo. Bella la piazza sulla strada con le sue viette strette e la chiesa principale. Iconico il Ponte romano che sovrasta il fiume Trebbia. Feste e banchetti nel fine settimana.

(Translated by Google) In the picturesque Trebbia Valley, the medieval village of Bobbio is certainly one of the most famous attractions, having been awarded the TCI Orange Flag and named "Borgo dei Borghi" (Borghi of the Villages) in 2019 in a well-known television contest. That said, the goodwill of its administrators in the care and maintenance of its architectural heritage, its cleanliness, and the excellent range of tourist services are also impressive: paid and free parking, shops, restaurants, and hospitality. Worth visiting are the Gobbo (or Devil's) Bridge, the Cathedral and its charming square, the Museum of the Abbey of San Colombano and the church of the same name, and, if you have time, the Castle, the Mazzolini Collection, and the churches (San Lorenzo, Madonna dell'Aiuto). A truly wonderful discovery in a country like ours, which always offers, often on its doorstep, wonderful glimpses of Italy's past. (Original) Nella suggestiva Val Trebbia il borgo medievale di Bobbio è certamente una delle attrazioni di maggior fama, visto peraltro che il paese è stato insignito della Bandiera Arancione del TCI ed eletto Borgo dei Borghi nel 2019 in un noto contest televisivo. Detto ciò, colpisce anche la buona volontà di chi la amministra per la cura e la manutenzione dei beni architettonici, la pulizia e la buona dote di servizi per i turisti: parcheggi a pagamento e non, attività commerciali, ristorative e di ospitalità. Da visitare il Ponte Gobbo (o del Diavolo), il Duomo e la sua graziosa piazza, il Museo dell’Abbazia di S. Colombano e l’omonima chiesa e, avendo tempo, il Castello, la Collezione Mazzolini e le chiese (S. Lorenzo, Madonna dell’Aiuto). Una gran bella scoperta in un Paese, come il nostro, che sa sempre offrire, spesso sotto casa, meravigliosi scorci dell’Italia di un tempo.

(Translated by Google) A small village in the Piacenza hills where you can taste fried gnocchi, cured meats and cheeses of excellent quality.

(Original) Un piccolo borghetto tra le colline piacentine dove gustare gnocchi fritti, salumi e formaggi di ottima qualità. La località è molto piccola, si gira a piedi tranquillamente, senza troppe difficoltà. Incantevole il ponte vecchio sul fiume Trebbia, il castello e il duomo.

(Translated by Google) Bobbio is a village in the Piacenza Hills, built around the Abbey of San Colombano. In addition to the monastery complex, the town boasts a remarkable historic center, with its medieval castle and cathedral, the porticoes and shops of the Castellaro district, and the thousand-year-old Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Trebbia River. (Original) Bobbio è un borgo dei Colli Piacentini, che si sviluppa intorno all’abbazia di San Colombano.

Very beautiful place to look style médiéval

Wow

(Translated by Google) Bobbio Cathedral dates back to the Romanesque period, built in the late 11th century. The three-nave interior features 15th-century frescoes, particularly the beautiful Annunciation. The simple, austere façade is topped by two bell towers, one of which is truncated. The crypt is dedicated to Saint Anthony Gianelli, bishop of Bobbio in the 19th century, who is buried in a transparent urn beneath the high altar. (Original) La cattedrale di Bobbio risale al periodo romanico, e fu edificata alla fine dell’undicesimo secolo. L'interno, a tre navate, presenta affreschi quattrocenteschi, in particolare la bellissima Annunciazione. La facciata è semplice, austera, ed è chiusa da due torri campanarie, di cui una mozza. La cripta è dedicata a sant'Antonio Gianelli, vescovo di Bobbio nell'ottocento, sepolto in un’urna trasparente collocata sotto l’altare maggiore.

(Translated by Google) Cathedral with beautiful frescoes on the walls and a deep blue ceiling. Behind the high altar, descending a marble staircase leads to a crypt, where you can admire the relics of several bishops who have succeeded one another over the centuries. A must-see if you're passing through Bobbio. (Original) Cattedrale con bellissimi affreschi sulle pareti mentre il soffitto è di colore azzurro intenso. Dietro l'altare maggiore, scendendo una scala con i gradini in marmo, si arriva ad una cripta, dove si possono ammirare le reliquie di alcuni Vescovi che si sono succeduti nell'arco dei secoli. Da visitare assolutamente se passate da Bobbio.

(Translated by Google) A must-see for anyone visiting the beautiful village of Bobbio. The cathedral dates back to the early decades of the 11th century, with inevitable modifications over the following centuries. The ornate interior also features some beautiful 15th-century paintings, recently discovered and restored. (Original) Sicuramente tappa fondamentale per chi visita il bel borgo di Bobbio. Cattedrale risalente ai primi decenni dell’anno mille con inevitabili modifiche nei secoli successivi. Ricchi gli interni dove sono presenti anche alcuni bei dipinti quattrocenteschi, scoperti e restaurati in epoca recente.

(Translated by Google) A medieval cathedral, as is evident from the exterior; therefore, very simple and linear in structure. But it's inside that you're most surprised; the decorations are unusual and create an unforgettable atmosphere, yet they're very different from churches of the same period. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Una cattedrale medievale, come risulta evidente dall'esterno; quindi, molto semplice e lineare nella struttura. Ma è all'interno che si rimane sorpresi; le decorazioni sono insolite e creano un'atmosfera che non si dimentica e comunque si differenzia molto da chiese dello stesso periodo. Assolutamente da visitare.

Functional rooms, nicely furnished. Breakfast is typically Italian. Nice service. The location is good for day trips to the surrounding area.

Been here twice now. High quality food and fair prices - couldn’t really ask for more… their pasta dishes are excellent.

Do the pasta sampler, it is excellent. There is so much food even this American took pause. Great wine list, friendly staff. Out of the way and mostly frequented by Italians.

Great atmosphere, wonderful garden and the best food. A must to visit and enjoy a true italian meal. The ravioli is to die for.

Nice mid-range hotel with good quality-price comparison. Lovely garden, good restaurant, polite staff and nice location

I have been very well, cooking and staff are very professional and friendly. I recommend it.

Lovely setting around a lawn. Very good service, food and wine

As you can tell by the number of stars given, the food, atmosphere and service were all great. We were in three, with me being the only vegetarian, yet we all ate from the various vegetarian options, even though the meat dishes they prepared looked incredible and they evidently specialised in that area. Such an accommodating atmosphere is a pleasant and refreshing experience for me, as you don't get that everywhere. I was also very impressed by the presentation of the food. There was a lot of care and attention in each plate which were then carried to the table, often by the chef himself, with a pleasent smile of pride and pleasure. The staff were friendly, attentive and interested, and were also able to speak English. We shall be returning for more!

Cozy little restaurant offering fairly priced meals. Service slows down when place becomes busy, so don't expect your meal to be served in 15 min. Even though they claim to serve local cuisine, the 2nd course entrees are burger, roast beef and a tomahawk steak. I've tried the grilled chicken and it was good. Portions are generous. Good local sparkling red wine.

We payd for an antipasto, rise with mushrooms, and 1 kl of costata with a bottle of Gutturnio wine 153 euro! 92 euro of meat in a location and with a service that is not in order with the price! You could go at the same price eating in a star Michelin restaurant in Italy! We will never go back again and warning others to this kind of restaurant 🍴in our territory ! Style very old in the time, in the the trend and in the service. A pity!

If you have no reason to visit Bobbio, come here for Il Barone! I was here for a short business trip. Flying all the way from Singapore, it was my first time in Italy. The steak is perfect. Cooked spot on, it's tender, juicy and served with the best sides. The only thing that would stand out more than the food would be the service. The gentleman who runs the place is warm and makes you feel at home. The ambience is great, quaint and idyllic across the main square. Five stars!

Find this restaurant by accident! We just walk 30 meters up from the main street in Bobbio and find this fantastic place. It turned out to be the best place we visit during our stay in Italy. Very friendly and professional service and fantastic food. Got a glas of spumante and a appetizer (för free) direct when we sat down. Both pasta and meat were delicious. And not to forget, fantastic barriqued grappa. Bobbio is sure also worth a visit and I will sure come back here!

Nice food, not too expensive

Wonderful food and wonderful service. Had great fun trying to find out what the food was as my Italian is terrible 😂

Great nice people and place

Super

(Translated by Google) The quality of the dishes is average, nothing special except the desserts, which are EXTRAORDINARY. The portions are generous, but the prices are a bit excessive for the quality. The location is very charming, and the staff is in keeping with the setting and very friendly. A place to return to, especially for the location. (Original) Qualità dei piatti nella norma, niente di particolare se non i dolci che sono STRAORDINARI, porzioni abbondanti, ma prezzi un pochino eccessivo per la qualità Location molto suggestiva, personale in linea con la location e molto cordiali. Un posto in cui tornare soprattutto per la location

(Translated by Google) I'll start by praising the excellent background music and the creativity of the decor and the mise en place. I ate well and the appetizers were the course that I liked the most, of which I don't have a photo because I ate them before making it 😋 Having to drive I only tasted from a friend's glass their Amaro del Penice which I recommend if you like Montenegro as it is very similar in flavor (I like it...) Very kind staff and the 8-a-side table football is top!!! (Original) Parto elogiando l'eccellente sottofondo musicale e la creatività dell'arredamento e della mise en place. Ho mangiato bene e gli antipasti sono la portata che ho gradito di più, di cui non ho una foto perché li ho mangiati prima di farla 😋 Dovendo guidare ho solo assaggiato dal bicchiere di un amico il loro amaro del penice che consiglio se piace il Montenegro in quanto molto simile di sapore (a me piace...) Personale molto gentile e il calciobalilla da 8 top!!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, very unique and eccentric location that I found warm and welcoming in its originality. We'll definitely be back. (Original) Ottimo cibo, location molto particolare ed eccentrica che ho trovato calda e accogliente nella sua originalità. Torneremo sicuramente.

(Translated by Google) Enchanting location, stunning nature. A charming, original place, full of unique details, with nightmare bathrooms, including the women's one. I gave the service two reasons: I understand that it's not a restaurant, so I shouldn't expect anything special, but if I pay €45 a head, I'm not talking about a change of cutlery, but at least a change of plate, especially since I didn't eat the risotto, which in my opinion was inedible. And for the second course, macaroni alla bobbiese, which was excellent, the waiter wanted to put it on the same plate where I left the risotto... I asked for a change of plate. (Fork, spoon, and knife, the same until dessert.) Delicious cured meats. Overall, I would return, but please fix the bathrooms! (Original) Posizione incantevole,natura meravigliosa. Locale affascinante,originale, ricco di dettagli particolari, bagni da incubo, inagibile quello delle donne. Al servizio ho dato due perché: posso capire che non si tratta di un ristorante e quindi non devo aspettarmi chissà che, ma se pago 45 euro a testa, non dico il cambio delle posate, ma almeno del piatto soprattutto se non ho mangiato il risotto che a mio avviso era immangiabile e alla seconda portata ovvero,maccheroni alla bobbiese,ottimi, il cameriere voleva metterli nello stesso piatto dove ho lasciato il risotto....ho chiesto il cambio del piatto. (Forchetta, cucchiaio e coltello,gli stessi fino al dolce.) Salumi buonissimi. Nel complesso ci tornerei, ma per favore mettete a posto i bagni!

(Translated by Google) We have been going to this fantastic restaurant for 11 years, the food as always is fantastic, with lots of home-grown or local food. Very kind staff and a very extravagant but beautiful place. We will NEVER stop going there, we will grow old together. Keep it up guys! (Original) Andiamo in questo fantastico ristorante da 11 anni, il cibo come sempre è fantastico, con molti cibi di produzione propria oppure locale. Personale gentilissimo e locale molto stravagante ma bellissimo. Non smetteremo MAI di andarci, invecchieremo insieme. Continuate così ragazzi!

The San Nicola B&B and associated restaurant are in separate but adjacent buildings conveniently situated on the edge of the medieval town centre. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was charming and comfortable. The food was delightful. Highly recommended.

A very pleasant surprise! An almost hidden gem where great food is served. For sophisticated palates

Great dishes and service, I like this place!

Delicious food. Incredible cantina - ask for a tour. Hidden gems to be found.

A great place in a really nice village. (Original) Bellissimo e curatissimo ristorante. Carta dei vini da invidiare. Abbiamo cenato e dormito in questa struttura a conduzione familiare. La proprietaria super disponibile e gentile. Un ottimo posto in un borgo davvero molto carino.

(Translated by Google) We arrived at this wonderful restaurant somewhat by chance, without a reservation and on a Saturday, and were greeted by the owner in a warm and friendly manner. Luckily, there was a table available in the cozy, intimate rooms, each with just a few tables. The food and wine were superb, Michelin-starred (they really should get one, they deserve it), and the experience was truly special. We will definitely be back. (Original) Siamo arrivati alla porta di questo meraviglioso ristorante un po’ per caso, senza prenotazione e di sabato, e siamo stati accolti dalla proprietaria in modo egregio e affabile. Per fortuna c’era un tavolo disponibile tra le accoglienti piccole sale, molto intime con pochi tavoli ognuna. Il cibo e vino sono superbi, da Michelin Star (dovrebbero davvero prenderla, se la meritano) e l’esperienza è stata davvero speciale. Ci torneremo senz’altro.

(Translated by Google) Intimate and quiet atmosphere. Good value for money. (Original) Ambiente intima e tranquilla. Qualità prezzo OK.

(Translated by Google) I've been frequenting this excellent restaurant for at least a quarter of a century...and it's always a pleasure to return, for the hospitality and the quality of the food. The family management, which has continued for decades now, from grandparents to daughters to granddaughters, is exemplary. A short climb above Mezzano Scotti also offers a remarkable view of the Trebbia Valley. The final destination is worth every hairpin bend you take to get there. Highly recommended. (Original) Frequento questo ottimo ristorante da almeno un quarto di secolo...ed ogni volta è un piacere ritornarci, per l' accoglienza e la qualità del cibo. Esemplare la gestione familiare che si protrae da numerosi lustri oramai dai Nonni, alle Figlie, alle Nipoti. Un pò di salita sopra Mezzano Scotti offre inoltre un panorama notevole sulla Val Trebbia. La meta finale vale ogni " tornante" che si compie per raggiungerla. Consigliatissimo.
