The agriturismo Il Giaciglio di Annibale is situated on the gentle hills of Val Trebbia, nestled in the countryside and rural tranquility. It is an ideal setting for those looking to combine sports, culture, and relaxation in a family-friendly, informal, and authentic atmosphere. The panoramic location offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, featuring cultivated fields, vineyards, and forests that invite refreshing walks and nature excursions.

The expansive outdoor areas include a swimming pool with a sun terrace, a garden, and a play area specifically designed for children, complete with a sandbox, providing spaces tailored for leisure for both adults and kids. The nearby trails are perfect for hiking or mountain biking, with E-bikes available for rent on-site, including guided tours to actively explore the area.

The facility offers three apartments and a wooden mini-house, all comfortable and functional accommodations equipped with a living area featuring a kitchenette and sofa, a spacious sleeping area, a private bathroom, independent heating and air conditioning, Wi-Fi connection, and bed and bath linens included. The Annibale, Amilcare, and Magone apartments are large two-room units located on the first floor of the main house, which does not have an elevator, and they open onto a large terrace with views of the hills, furnished with tables, chairs, and a swing, perfect for relaxing outdoors.

The wooden mini-house Iride, located in the garden next to the pool, measures 8x3 meters and includes a double bedroom, a bathroom with a shower (without a bidet), a living area with a fully equipped kitchenette and a sofa bed, as well as a spacious panoramic outdoor veranda with tables and chairs. The swimming pool, measuring 10x5 meters and 1.15 meters deep, is surrounded by greenery and is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. Guests also have access to a common room with guides, magazines, books, and board games.

The agriturismo is strategically located for exploring the area, just 18 km from Piacenza, 30 km from Bobbio, 15 km from Grazzano Visconti, and 5 km from the village of Rivalta. Nearby, visitors can discover charming villages and castles such as the Castle of Rivalta, the Fortress of Agazzano, the Fortress of Olgisio, Castell'Arquato, Vigoleno, and the Village of Brugnello in Travo.

The area is also suitable for horseback riding, birdwatching, and walks to spectacular natural sites like Pietra Parcellara and the Carlone Waterfalls. The Trebbia River, with its clear waters, offers natural beaches, swimming opportunities, and kayaking.

While there is no on-site dining service, within a radius of approximately 6 km, there are restaurants, trattorias, and other agriturismos, as well as supermarkets, bars, pharmacies, and tobacco shops, ensuring all conveniences during your stay.

Hey, I'm Daniela

My name is Daniela, and together with my family, I passionately run the small farm and agriturismo that has been passed down to us since 1902. Our home is nestled in the gentle hills between Val Trebbia and Val Luretta, a landscape that once saw Hannibal's troops camp and today tells a different story, one of rural tranquility, vineyards, cultivated fields, and the slow-flowing river that changes color with each bend. The Giaciglio di Annibale is a family-run establishment that has managed to grow while staying true to its roots. In 2011, we renovated the old barn with a porch, transforming it into an agriturismo, adhering to the latest seismic safety standards and equipping the facility with a photovoltaic system, in line with our commitment to environmental respect. Today, we offer accommodations in holiday apartments surrounded by nature, in a simple yet authentic atmosphere, where every detail is designed to make you feel at home. Our farm spans nine hectares surrounding the agriturismo. We cultivate forage, alfalfa, fruits, vegetables, and recently, aromatic and medicinal herbs. We produce jams, preserves, and pickled vegetables, and collaborate with other local businesses to provide cured meats, cheeses, wine, pasta, flours, juices, and artisanal sauces. The spacious and well-maintained outdoor areas include a sun terrace, a garden, and a play area for children. Animals are always welcome. We love to share our world with those seeking a place to slow down, rediscover simplicity, and be inspired by the beauty of nature.

Area Collina

We are situated in the heart of the gentle Piacenza hills, nestled between the Val Trebbia and Val Luretta, in an area rich in nature, history, and inspiration. Here, where according to tradition Hannibal camped with his troops in 218 BC, time seems to have stood still. Fields alternate with forests, vineyards, and paths, while the Trebbia River carves a constantly changing landscape: in the mountain gorges, it appears emerald green, while in the plains, it stretches out in a deep, almost enchanted blue.

The region offers numerous opportunities for those who enjoy exploring on foot, by bike, or on horseback. The trails surrounding the agriturismo allow for immersion in unspoiled nature, wildlife observation, birdwatching, or simply being guided by the silence and scents of the countryside. Just a few kilometers away, the clear waters of the Trebbia are perfect for a refreshing swim on hot days, sport fishing, or kayaking.

Cultural and architectural wonders abound: the area is dotted with medieval villages, castles, and historic mansions. A short distance away, you can visit charming places like the Rivalta Castle, Bobbio with its abbey and famous Gobbo Bridge, Grazzano Visconti with its neo-medieval village, as well as the Rocca d’Olgisio, Castell’Arquato, and Vigoleno.

Food lovers will find authentic flavors and a rich culinary tradition in these lands: cured meats, cheeses, wines from the Piacenza hills, and local dishes to savor in the many trattorias and agriturismos in the area.

Despite being surrounded by tranquility, we are well connected: Piacenza is only 18 km away, and all essential services are within a few kilometers. Here, nature, history, and hospitality blend in a harmonious balance, creating an intimate and authentic atmosphere perfect for rejuvenation and rediscovering the slow rhythms of country life.
