Area Collina

Nestled in the heart of the Piacenza hills, the B&B Bianconiglio is situated in the Bersani area of Gropparello, a quaint village that retains the charm of historic towns. The region features a gentle, rolling landscape where vineyards, forests, and cultivated fields alternate, offering a picturesque view in every season. The village has recently gained fame as the Fairy Tale Village, thanks to frescoes created by a group of artists from the Arte Nostra association, which have turned the walls of the houses into a visual journey through beloved fairy tales.

Just a five-minute drive away lies the majestic Gropparello Castle, an ancient medieval fortress surrounded by the Fairy Tale Park, a unique experience in Italy that allows both adults and children to immerse themselves in a fantasy adventure filled with knights, ladies, and magical creatures. The castle, perched on a rocky peak, offers guided tours and historical reenactments that revive the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

This area is a true paradise for history and art enthusiasts. Within a short distance, you can find some of the most enchanting villages and castles in Emilia-Romagna, such as Castell'Arquato, with its impressive medieval village and the Visconti Fortress, which provides spectacular views of the surrounding hills. Vigoleno, another fortified gem, has retained its original structure and offers a complete immersion into the medieval ambiance. Grazzano Visconti, with its neo-Gothic village, is a must-visit for those who enjoy historical reenactments and local craftsmanship.

For archaeology enthusiasts, the nearby Veleia Romana archaeological site features an ancient Roman city discovered in the 18th century, where you can admire remains of public buildings, mosaics, and inscriptions that tell the story of life during that era.
