Absolutely charming! Lots of cute little cafes and restaurants to enjoy. We spend a few hours here, super relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, food, and hospitality!
This area is worth a visit there are plenty of bars in the village one shop we found at the top of the hill there is a free art gallery. Churches of course and 2 museums , archaeological and the castle there is a joint ticket entry for 7 euros the climb up To the top of the castle tower provided a stunning view,the rest less interesting
Stunning hilltop castle nestled in a medieval Italian borgo. The entry fee is minimal and the photos you can take alone are worth the price. The history is also quite interesting. Worth the trip.
It was a great opportunity to visit what still stands of an old castle. Tons of stairs to get to the top. Not a real lot to see. But glad I did it. Not for anyone with issues with heights. I was lucky to do this when no one else was in the building. If you are pressed for time may be worth just checking out the town instead.
Came here to spend a few hours, to see the castle and the other sights and some walk. The whole small medieval town is a sight for itself. We parked down in the village and walk the hill up to the castle. Beautiful buildings and architecture all the way up. And on top of course the castle, the tower and many other sights. As well as a small park with some nice views. The town dates back to the 8th Century, but it believed to be even older. The castle itself (the "Borgo") was build in 1342, while the nearby church "Santa Maria Assunta" dates back to the 11th Century. Then there's the Palazzo del Podestà and the Bell tower and other notable buildings up there in the castle area. It was also the filming location of "Ladyhawke" starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. We came here on a sunday, there were some visitors, but we expected a lot more, free parking available down in the village as well. A really wonderful old town worth visiting. We didn't expect much, since we really didn't know much about the place, but were really impressed by this beautiful town.
Full of bourgeoisie with expensive cars who live in the castle. But beautiful view from the castle and also museum of Italian history and culture.
Well worth a visit to this medieval castle, beautiful buildings and view
Quite and very authentic medieval town. With local food and super views. Here starts Apenino so many possibilities to trekking. Good place to try piacentino cuisine, specific for Emilia Romagnia

Amazing extremely well kept accent village.
Neat castle, required guided tour to go through it. Minimal English signs compared to the amount of information related by the tour guide. Should be an off language discount if you ask me. But a cool experience nonetheless. Neat courtyard/piazza area around it. The optical room was really a neat touch. Mideaval TV! No pictures or video inside the castle was a significant bummer. Lots of cool stuff that we couldn't take the memories of back with us.... it is great to be able to tour through the castle!
small castle above the hill, worth a day trip.
No wonder that almost all my clients loved this place , history , charming location, and such great food in the nearby restaurants , on the Mincio river! #madeinitalyspecialists
It's a small inside but we'll worth it the visit to the Rocca. There's many stairs to do up to the top, the inside of the tower is done nice the renovation to perfection, the stairs are easy and quite comfortable to do. I just recommend put some comfy shoes . The views from above are beautiful landscape of the country side all full of vineyards. 🍇
Lovely place to visit, interesting buildings .
Is that we sold my parent's flat in a little village, whenever I return I stay in a hotel near by. Lovely to walk around the old town. Lots of posh and local restaurants as well as tourist shops and local food stores. Well worth a visit.
Beaut of a village, had some awesome food from the local area too

A bit Morden fantasy style. The room is nice and clean, with high quality supplies. I will say the bed is really really comfortable. The biggest surprise is the breakfast. What a great feast. The presenting is so cute and the selection is brilliant. You cannot complain more after that. Grazie!
(Translated by Google) Very central location. Clean and quiet rooms, ours had a beautiful view of the greenery. A little too full of objects that don't always tie the suite's living room together well, but this is a personal taste. Bathroom with window, also overlooking the greenery, equipped with everything, good hairdryer, among other things, even toothbrush and toothpaste. Good communication. It is a historic home, with high ceilings and has a particular charm. The idea of ​​the breakfast basket left outside the room is very nice. Too bad about the quality of the brioches, not great. However, certainly recommended. (Original) Posizione centralissima. Stanze pulite e silenziose, la nostra aveva un bellissimo affaccio sul verde. Un po' troppo pieno di oggetti che non sempre legano bene tra di loro il salottino della suite, ma questo è un gusto personale. Bagno finestrato, anch'esso dava sul verde, fornito di tutto, buon asciugacapelli, tra le altre cose, anche spazzolino e dentifricio. Buona comunicazione. È una dimora storica, con i soffitti alti ed ha un fascino particolare. Molto bella l'idea del cestino della colazione lasciato fuori dalla stanza. Peccato per la qualità delle brioches, non un granché. Comunque certamente consigliato.
(Translated by Google) A real "gem" in the historic center right in front of the magical square of this beautiful village.

The owner Mrs. Annalisa is an exquisite person and knows how to facilitate every request (Original) Una vera “chicca “ in pieno centro storico proprio di fronte alla magica piazza di questo bellissimo borgo.

La proprietaria signora Annalisa è una persona squisita e sa facilitare ogni richiesta
(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience in a timeless village. This property offers its guests a journey back in time. The bedroom is beautiful, with a canopy bed and fireplace; one bathroom with a shower and a bathtub in the relaxation area with a wall-mounted armchair. The idea of having breakfast in a basket outside the door so as not to disturb guests was also lovely. The only downside...among the many items in the basket, there was no fresh milk; there was only shelf-stable milk. The cake was excellent. The room was clean. Excellent location. Recommended. (Original) Bellissima esperienza in un borgo fuori dal tempo. Questa struttura offre ai propri ospiti un viaggio nel tempo. Bellissima la camera con letto a baldacchino e caminetto; 1 bagno con doccia e una vasca nell'area relax con poltrona sospesa a muro.

Unico neo... tra le tante cose nel cestino mancava del latte fresco, c'era solo a lunga conservazione. Ottima la torta. Stanza pulita. Ottima location. Consigliata.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately the museum was not accessible internally, we saw it from the outside and it is certainly worth it. Intrigued, we looked for the site and despite everything it is possible to access a virtual visit. Very beautiful, although clearly visiting it in person is another story and it is an experience that I recommend, although the museum is not large, it contains a truly unique and interesting part of history. (Original) Purtroppo il museo non era accessibile internamente, lo abbiamo visto da fuori e sicuramente merita. Incuriositi, abbiamo cercato il sito e nonostante tutto si può accedere a una visita virtuale. Molto bello, anche se chiaramente visitarlo di persona è un'altra storia ed è un'esperienza che consiglio, nonostante il museo non sia grande, racchiude una parte di storia davvero unica e interessante.
Cute little museum with rock things and fossils. Recommend for people passionate about the theme Mostly it's stuff that has been found locally but there are also things from all over the world
(Translated by Google) A small geological museum where you can mainly see the remains of a local whale from thousands of years ago. Certainly very suggestive and interesting especially for children who have fun with the various activities offered. It is advisable to buy a single ticket for the museum and for the Visconti tower in order to have a small reduction. (Original) Un piccolo museo geologico dove vedere prevalentemente i resti di una balenottera del luogo di migliaia di anni fa. Certamente molto suggestivo e interessante sopratutto per i bambini che si divertono con le varie attività proposte. È consigliabile fare un biglietto unico per il museo appunto e per la torre viscontea in modo da avere una piccola riduzione.
(Translated by Google) Small museum, but well stocked with finds found in the Piacenza area, with even the whale skeleton found near Castell'Arquato. Experience to do! The entrance fee is 3.5 euros per person. It's worth it! (Original) Piccolo museo, ma fornitissimo di reperti trovati nella zona del piacentino, con anche lo scheletro della balena ritrovato nei pressi di Castell'Arquato. Esperienza da fare! Il costo d'ingresso è di 3.5 euro a persona. Ne vale la pena!
(Translated by Google) Very interesting geological museum, with wonderful finds and well-made explanations of places, periods, main room dedicated to fish fossils found in Castell'Arquato, and neighboring areas, with faithful reconstruction of what was lost due to bombing during World War II. The staff was very kind and also showed us the ceiling of the room with fireplace, a former reception center for pilgrims coming from the Via Francigena. I highly recommend it! (Original) Museo geologico interessantissimo, con reperti meravigliosi e spiegazioni ben fatte di luoghi, periodi, sala principale dedicata ai fossili ittici ritovati a Castell’Arquato, e zone limitrofe, con fedele ricostruzione di quello che e’ andato perso causa bombardamento durante II Guerra Mondiale. Gentilissimo il personale addetto che ci ha illustrato anche il soffitto della sala con camino, ex centro di accogliennza dei pellegrini provenienti dalla via francigena. Lo consiglio vivamente!

(Translated by Google) As a fellow stoner I can say that it is a really well done museum. It is suitable for everyone thanks to the captions and exhaustive panels. Highly recommended especially for the Italian fossils which are often overlooked when in reality they reveal a very interesting part of the evolution of the peninsula. The manager at the entrance desk is very helpful and very kind! (Original) Da collega di sassi posso dire che è un museo davvero ben fatto. È adatto a tutti grazie alle didascalie ed ai pannelli esaustivi. Consigliatissimo soprattutto per i fossili italiani che sono spesso trascurati quando in realtà svelano una parte interessantissima dell'evoluzione della penisola. Il responsabile al banco all'ingresso è molto disponibile e gentilissimo!
(Translated by Google) Nice museum to visit with the family, containing fossils from many parts of the world but above all a room for fossils found in the area around Castell'Arquato. During the tour of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, a visit to combine with the Visconti fortress with a single ticket at the price of €7. Recommended with children. (Original) Bel museo da visitare con la famiglia, contenente fossili provenienti da più parti del mondo ma soprattutto una sala per i fossili trovati nel territorio intorno a Castell'Arquato.

(Translated by Google) I went to the Monastery Pantry to get some cured meats to take home... and what can I say: fabulous! The quality is very high, you can immediately feel that they are refined, local, typical and carefully chosen products. But the real added value was the welcome: the gentleman who served me was very nice, he welcomed me with a huge smile and gave me lots of advice on how to best slice and pair their hams including coppa and pancetta. A kindness and availability that are rare to find. Super recommended for those looking for authentic products and a genuine experience! (Original) Sono passato alla Dispensa del Monastero per prendere dei salumi da portare a casa… e che dire: favolosi! La qualità è altissima, si sente subito che sono prodotti ricercati, locali, tipici e scelti con cura. Ma il vero valore aggiunto è stata l’accoglienza: il signore che mi ha servito è stato simpaticissimo, mi ha accolto con un enorme sorriso e mi ha dato un sacco di consigli su come affettare e abbinare al meglio i loro prosciutti tra cui coppa e pancetta. Una gentilezza e una disponibilità rare da trovare. Super consigliato a chi cerca prodotti autentici e un’esperienza genuina!
We were passing in the beautiful town of Castell Arquato in a hot day in summer so we decided to have a drink in the tables outside of the store, we ask for 3 beers and we were charged 12€ for a beers in a plastic glasses, a bit expensive in my opinion. We also saw they offered small snacks to other tables but since they noticed we were not locals we got nothing. It's a pity because the place is lovely but I wouldn't return.
(Translated by Google) Small but very welcoming pantry located in front of the Rocca Viscontea. They don't provide table service but this is absolutely not a problem. Inside the pantry you will find various products: from pasta to cured meats, pickles, wines, biscuits, etc. We were welcomed by a very good girl who was able to answer our questions with great kindness and professionalism. We opted to buy two glasses of wine, a juice, a sandwich with cooked ham, a platter of cold cuts and cheeses (bread included) and we paid €34, which I would say is very honest. The wine recommended by the staff was exceptional. Prices are average and the quality of the products is good. I would definitely stay here again. (Original) Piccola ma molto accogliente dispensa che si trova di fronte alla Rocca Viscontea. Non effettuano il servizio al tavolo ma questo non è assolutamente un problema. Dentro la dispensa trovi diversi prodotti: dalla pasta ai salumi, sott'oli, vini, biscotti, ecc. Siamo stati accolti da una ragazza molto brava che ha saputo rispondere alle nostre domande con molta gentilezza e professionalità. Abbiamo optato per acquistare due bicchieri di vino, un succo, un panino col prosciutto cotto, un tagliere di salumi e formaggi (pane incluso) e abbiamo pagato 34€, direi molto onesto. Il vino consigliato dal personale era eccezionale. I prezzi sono nella media e la qualità dei prodotti è buona. Ci tornerei sicuramente.
(Translated by Google) A nice quiet place behind the church towards the castle. Sandwiches and platters with remarkable cold cuts and cheeses, a glass of locally produced wine and absolutely normal prices!

(Translated by Google) Enchanting and breathtaking like everything present in the historic center of Castell'Arquato. Palace from the 1300s in medieval style, very well kept and maintained, in a wonderful square, surrounded by the Collegiate Church, the Visconti tower and the adjacent gardens. (Original) Incantevole e mozzafiato come tutto ciò che è presente nel centro storico di Castell'Arquato. Palazzo del 1300 in stile medievale, molto curato e ben tenuto, in una piazza meravigliosa, circondata dalla Collegiata, dalla torre viscontea e dai giardini accanto.
(Translated by Google) Stunning Duke's Palace in the village of Castell Arquato (Original) Stupendo palazzo del duca nel borgo di castell Arquato
(Translated by Google) Next to the Farnese Tower, on the road leading to the old town center, stands this beautiful brick building overlooking a fountain. An inscription at the base dates it to the 13th century, but the upper part is evidently a later renovation, with beautiful lancet terracotta windows. Pope Paul III Farnese is said to have stayed here in the mid-16th century while visiting his daughter... it's worth seeing from the outside, as it's a private residence. (Original) Accanto al torrione Farnese, sulla via che porta verso il centro antico del borgo. Sorge questo bel palazzo in laterizi che sovrasta una fontana. Un’iscrizione alla base lo fa risalire al Duecento ma la parte alta è un rifacimento evidentemente più tardo con belle finestre ogivali in cotto. Pare ci abbia alloggiato a metà del Cinquecento papa Paolo III Farnese in visita alla figlia… da vedere da fuori in quanto privato
(Translated by Google) From a 14th century palace. Well inserted in the village (Original) Da palazzo del 1300.. Ben inserito nel borgo
(Translated by Google) Palace built around 1300 by Alberto Scotti. It was later the seat of the Podestà government, the home of Duke Santa Flora and finally the seat of the Magistrates' Court. It is very beautiful and can only be seen inside during various exhibitions. It has a tower with two clocks, one on the square and one towards the village. (Original) Palazzo fatto costruire intorno al 1300 da Alberto Scotti. In seguito fu sede del governo del Podestà, abitazione del duca Santa Flora e infine sede della Pretura. È molto bello e si può vedere all'interno solo in occasione di varie mostre. Ha una torre con due orologi, uno sulla piazza e uno verso il borgo.
(Translated by Google) Nice building a few steps from the center of the village (Original) Palazzo carino a pochi passi dal centro del borgo
(Translated by Google) Interesting like the whole village of Castell'Arquata. Personally, in general, I prefer visits out of season. Not to be missed. (Original) Interessante come tutto il Borgo di castell'arquata. Personalmente, in generale, prediligo le visite fuori stagione. Da non perdere.

(Translated by Google) All I can say, strongly summarized in a few words, is that Castell'Arquato is a small and beautiful medieval town. There are many things to say about it, but the only one I would like to underline is that it absolutely must be visited. A town that takes you back several centuries, which has nothing to envy of larger and more important cities in beautiful Italy itself. #CastellArquato🇮🇹 #EmiliaRomagna🇮🇹 #Italy🇮🇹 #Italy🇮🇹 #CastellArquato #EmiliaRomagna #Italy #Italy #JOELSEINCASTELLARQUATO #GIUSEPPEGUARINOINCASTELLARQUATO #JOELSEPELINCASTELLARQUATO #JOELESEPELINCASTELLARQUATO #GUARINOGIUSEPPEINCASTELLARQUATO #JoelSeInItaly #JoeleSepelInItaly #GiuseppeGuarinoInItaly #JOELSE #JOELSEPEL #JOELESEPEL #GUARINOGIUSEPPE #GIUSEPPEGUARINO #CrumbleNot @joelsepel @joelesepelofficial (Original) Tutto quello che posso dire, sintetizzando fortemente in poche parole, è che Castell'Arquato è una piccola e bellissima cittadina medioevale.

(Translated by Google) The Gutturnio Classico Reserva is truly fantastic. So we stopped by Casa Benna on our way home to buy a few bottles. The owner, a very friendly and welcoming winemaker, promptly invited us to a spontaneous tasting. (Original) Der Gutturnio Classico Reserva ist wirklich fantastisch. Wir haben Casa Benna deshalb auf der Heimreise einen kleinen Besuch abgestattet um ein paar Flaschen zu kaufen. Der Besitzer, ein sehr freundlicher und herzlicher Winzer, hat uns dabei prompt zu einer spontanen kleinen Degustation eingeladen.
Our group of four went to that amazing winery just beside the beautiful medieval village of Castell’Arquato . We were welcome by Andrea as soon as we arrived . He told us about the history of the vineyard and explained us in details the different grapes and wine making process. It was very interesting , good English also. We did the wine tasting in a beautiful room on the second floor , he gave us tasteful prosciutto and other cold cuts from the region that paired very well with the different wines . Generous pouring and we had the chance to try them all. We end up buying a case of wine , it was so delicious . Thank you for the beautiful visit !
(Translated by Google) I went with friends to do the premium tasting. They let us taste 9 wines, gave us a cutter of cold cuts and cheeses and showed us the entire facility. Very good wines, the owner is very kind and knowledgeable, very interesting to discover the history behind the names chosen and super fascinating to remember how much science and experience is behind it! Extremely recommended! We also purchased our favorite wines (Original) Sono andata con amici a fare la degustazione premium. Ci hanno fatto assaggiare 9 vini, ci hanno dato un taglierino di salumi e formaggi e ci hanno fatto vedere tutta la struttura. Vini molto buoni, il proprietario é molto gentile e preparato, molto interessante scoprire la storia dietro ai nomi scelti e super affascinante ricordarsi quanta scienza ed esperienza ci sia dietro! Estremamente consigliato! Abbiamo anche acquistato i nostri vini preferiti
(Translated by Google) Purchased gutturnio frizzante really excellent a good flavor beautiful persistent on the palate. I can only compliment him. Well done. (Original) Acquistato gutturnio frizzante veramente ottimo un buon sapore bello persistente al palato. Non posso che fargli i complimenti. Bravi.
Came for an unplanned visit and was greeted very nicely by the owner of the winery. We took a tour in the beautiful and clean family owned winery with explanations on the process and with tastings at the end. Left with a few boxes of wine :-)
(Translated by Google) On our way to the "wine-poor" Lunigiana we made a detour here, a) to get to know the wines of Casa Benna, and b) to stock up on wine for our holidays in Lunigiana and the Apuan Alps, and finally then to provide supplies again for home north of the Alps. We had booked the “Offerta premium” from the “Visite in Cantina” offer and were warmly welcomed by Andrea Molinari and his four-legged employees. Andrea clearly put her heart and soul into providing information about the local conditions and wine production, but also about the naming of the wines. We were given the opportunity to look at the operating rooms and taste all the wines with the snack that was included in the offer. The friendliness and approach of the owner and the quality of his wines and their price/performance ratio speak for themselves and recommend Casa Benna for further visits and purchases. (Original) Auf der Durchreise in die "weinarme" Lunigiana haben wir einen Abstecher hierher gemacht, a) um die Weine von Casa Benna kennen zu lernen, und b) um uns mit Wein für die Ferien in der Lunigiana und in den Apuanischen Alpen, und letztlich dann auch wieder für zu Hause nördlich der Alpen zu versorgen. Wir hatten aus dem Angebot "Visite in Cantina" die "Offerta premium" gebucht und wurden von Andrea Molinari und seinen vierbeinigen Mitarbeitern freundlich empfangen. Andrea informierte sichtlich mit Herzblut über die Gegebenheiten vor Ort und die Weinerzeugung, aber auch über die Namensgebung der Weine. Wir erhielten Gelegenheit, die Betriebsräume anzusehen und zu dem im Angebot enthaltenen Vesper sämtliche Weine zu verkosten. Die Freundlichkeit und Zugewandtheit des Inhabers und die Qualität seiner Weine und ihr Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis sprechen für sich und empfehlen Casa Benna für weitere Besuche und Einkäufe.
(Translated by Google) It was a fantastic experience, we were immediately catapulted into a reality of another era, scents and flavors of a company that knows what it produces and does it with love, faithful to family tradition and preserving the aroma of the true essence natural. Each bottle of wine has a story to tell that contains emotional meanings. I highly recommend it for the quality of the products and the tasting as well as the attention given. Thank you Sir Andrea, for your availability and attention, we will certainly see you again soon and we will stay in touch. Recommended experience and to be repeated. (Original) È stata una esperienza fantastica, siamo stati catapultati fin da subito in una realtà di un'altra epoca, profumi e sapori di un azienda che sa quello che produce e lo fa con amore, fedele alla tradizione familiare e a preservare l'aroma della vera essenza naturale. Ogni bottiglia di vino ha una storia da raccontare che racchiude significati affettivi. Lo consiglio vivamente per la qualità dei prodotti e della degustazione così come dell'attenzione prestata. Grazie Signore Andrea, per la disponibilità e l'attenzione prestata sicuramente ci rivedremo presto e rimarremo in contatto. Esperienza consigliata e da ripetere.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting and rich tasting of wine and food. A truly great experience and excellent value for money. The wines they produce are also excellent prices and can be purchased at the end of the tasting. Highly recommended. Thank you very much Andrea. (Original) Degustazione molto interessante e ricca di vino e cibo. Davvero una bella esperienza e ottima qualità-prezzo.
