Agriturismo Croara Vecchia

The Croara Vecchia Agricultural Company welcomes its guests along the banks of the Trebbia River, in an area of unspoiled nature characterized by woods, meadows, and riverbanks. Since 2000, Alessandra and Bettina, motivated by the desire to preserve their family legacy, have transformed the ancient convent they own into a charming agriturismo, set in the picturesque landscape of the Val Trebbia.

The establishment offers cozy accommodations, featuring apartments and studios of various sizes, all equipped with a kitchenette, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, television, and air conditioning. Some units are particularly suitable for longer stays, as they come with amenities such as laundry facilities and barbecue areas. Guests can opt for a daily cleaning service or a more economical option for extended stays, starting from a minimum of four nights. Upon arrival, breakfast essentials are provided, and each morning, guests can enjoy cakes, fresh fruit, and cookies in the communal lounge.

The agriturismo is also a well-known equestrian center affiliated with FISE, boasting high-quality facilities and qualified instructors. It offers riding lessons for both children and adults, nature horseback riding excursions, and competitive activities in show jumping, dressage, and eventing. During the summer months, summer camps for youth are organized, featuring artistic workshops and outdoor recreational activities. For enthusiasts, guided rides with an English-speaking instructor are also available.

Another special area of the estate is the small church of the former convent, which now hosts courses and theatrical performances organized by the MEL Collective. This space is also available for cultural, social, and educational events and can be set up for presentations and exhibitions.

Among the services provided are a swimming pool with views of the river, bicycles for use, a barbecue area, and accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Pets are also welcome. Alessandra and Bettina personally greet the guests, offering information in English and French, along with the warmth and hospitality that make the stay even more enjoyable.

In the surrounding area, outdoor sports such as trekking, mountain biking, rowing, and golf can be enjoyed, or guests can relax in the sun along the riverbanks. The region is rich in history and charm: nearby, you can find the Rivalta Castle, the city of Piacenza, and Bobbio, one of Italy's most beautiful villages, with its medieval center and the Abbey of San Colombano. There are numerous opportunities to visit castles and fortifications, participate in tastings and themed evenings, or have fun with the family at the Rivergaro water park.
