La Cinghialina

Nestled among the hills of Piacenza, just 2 km from the Visconti Fortress of Castell’Arquato, La Cinghialina welcomes guests in a beautifully restored rural house where charm and authenticity blend into a relaxed atmosphere with meticulous attention to detail. The spaces retain the allure of the original architecture and local materials, while the furnishings and vintage items have been tastefully updated, preserving the connection to the area's agricultural roots.

The double rooms, each with a private bathroom and potentially separable beds, feature large windows that open up to the surrounding landscape. The same beautiful view can be enjoyed from the bright greenhouse where breakfast is served, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients: homemade jams from garden fruits, farm-fresh eggs, local cured meats, and upon request, savory options for a customized Bed & Brunch experience. In the greenhouse, guests can find newspapers, books, and useful guides to explore the area.

The tranquil location, surrounded by greenery yet easily accessible, makes La Cinghialina perfect for those seeking rest and quiet, as well as for those who love to explore. The trails of the Placenziano and Stirone Parks are within easy reach, as are historic villages, wineries, and local restaurants. The property is also equipped to accommodate cyclists and bike travelers, offering dedicated services such as secure bike storage, laundry facilities, washing and maintenance areas, early breakfasts, maps, itineraries, and options for guided tours or rentals.

Chiara, the hostess, is an art historian and tour guide who offers her expertise to arrange guided visits, wine tastings, dinners at top restaurants, or activities on the terrace such as cooking classes, yoga, creative writing, and watercolor painting. La Cinghialina thus serves as a meeting point for hospitality, culture, and nature, making it an ideal place for a stay filled with discovery and well-being.
