I love the place, the area and the La Rocchetta restaurant, but my husband and I went to the Spa (Castello di Rivalta Spa & Wellness) and I rated it as "zero". I was given this voucher for the anniversary, to which we had to add another fee because we were out of time (when we could, the area wasn't available as they were doing some renovation/arrangement work).
The voucher was valid for 2 hours, too bad the hydromassage was cold so we used the Turkish bath and sauna and then left. Water temperature 31 degrees, after at least half an hour it reached 32 and remained fixed like this!!!! I was told that other spas usually have a temperature of 34 degrees at most, sorry! I think you can't pay €180+65 for two hours available without being able to use the hydromassage where the water should be much hotter, I read 37/38 degrees online! Never again and I strongly advise against it! More of a question of principle!

Buongiorno,
ci dispiace che la vostra esperienza presso la nostra SPA non sia stata di vostro gradimento, speriamo comunque di potervi ospitare nuovamente in futuro.
Ci terremmo pero' a precisare alcuni punti da voi menzionati:
-Il Voucher in vostro possesso è stato emesso in data 23 Febbraio 2023 con scadenza il 23 Luglio 2023, la nostra SPA è stata chiusa tutto il mese di Luglio 2023 per lavori di modernizzazione volti a garantire ai nostri clienti un'esperienza sempre migliore.
Ovviamente abbiamo provveduto ad allungare i voucher emessi di un mese che corrisponde al tempo di chiusura.
-La vostra richiesta di usufruire del Voucher è avvenuta tramite email in data 23 Marzo 2024, ovvero più di un anno dopo l'emissione e otto mesi dopo l'effettiva scadenza, con richiesta da parte vostra di poterne usufruire il 17 Aprile 2024 quindi un'ulteriore mese dopo.
Cercando di volervi venire incontro il più possibile (data la sua passata scadenza e l'averci contattato molto dopo la suddetta) vi abbiamo abbonato il pagamento solo del 50% del Voucher scaduto ovvero €65 in quanto la Gift era per 2 ingressi in SUITE week prezzo totale €130 non €180 come da voi scritto.
-Ci dispiace che l'acqua non fosse alla temperatura da voi gradita, viene tenuta a una media che varia dai 32/37 gradi, ovviamente è impossibile per noi accontentare tutti i gusti dei clienti essendo una vasca professionale ha una grande portata d'acqua che non può variare temperatura nell'arco di mezz'ora.
-Il turno di 2 ore è stato utilizzato nella sua completezza da voi e non di durata inferiore.
Rinnoviamo il nostro dispiacere nel appurare che non vi siate trovati bene perché abbiamo cercato al massimo come sopra riportato di venire incontro alle vostre esigenze, omaggiandovi di uno sconto per il futuro da voi rifiutato perché non usufruibile nell'immediato, rinnoviamo pertanto il nostro invito per venirci a trovare un'altra volta.
Cordiali Saluti.

We found ourselves in Rivalta almost by chance, since the purpose of the trip "out of town" were the Christmas markets in Grazzano Visconti.
The medieval village fascinates a lot with its characteristic buildings, but never like the castle and its imposing circular tower, perfectly preserved over time. So, wrapped in a fairytale setting, on the banks of the river Trebbia, we made the complete visit of the castle, which goes from the prisons to the tower, with a wonderful guide, friendly and, despite his young age, very prepared. Thank you Matilda! Priceless to be able to admire, even today, places and historical artifacts so well maintained that are, surely, the result of an immense passion for noble traditions. Thanks to the Zanardi Landi family who allowed us to admire such a wonderful historical and cultural jewel.
I used to swab laeta blood.

The castle is fabulous, the owner lives there and we had the honor of speaking with the count. The interiors are special, first and foremost the fully set tables in several rooms, everything well maintained and well illustrated by the young guide. The climb up the tower is worth climbing, despite the narrow steps, the view of the trebbia and valley is unmissable. Worth seeing is the green room (visiting Princess Margaret slept there...). For now the best castle I've seen in Italy so far

little jewel of a castle that is worth a lunch and a guided tour: we found a tour by chance and we joined: Sandra showed us everything, from the armory rooms to the room where the sister of the Queen of England slept: I'm not there some Mona Lisas on the walls but it is a very pleasant look at life in the late Middle Ages: an empty castle interests no one, this one is full of history. thanks to Sandra who took us around. time: 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Well restored and well maintained castle. The guided tour satisfied us, right in terms of time and cost. The guide, Mrs. Jessica, was knowledgeable and friendly and cheerfully told us many interesting things. Noteworthy are the tables set with period objects and the museum collection of uniforms and weapons.

The Castle very nice. Being private, you can visit only some rooms, very interesting.
The only flaw: the guide was very kind but went too fast and began the explanations when not all the participants of the visiting group were still gathered. So we missed some explanations. Also going fast, there was not much time to notice the details. Very nice collection of military uniforms, but having to walk quickly, we looked at them in passing.

Beautiful village, well kept and romantic.
But the visit to the Castle was truly spectacular: our guide Jessica was splendid. The story of the family history, as well as the description of the different environments, was accurate but never boring, rather rich in details and complete.
Super satisfied and... greetings to the ghost of the chef!

The visit immerses you in a splendid medieval environment. The castle, unlike others, is furnished and well preserved. This makes the environment more authentic and, also thanks to the guide Sandra (competent and expert), engaging.

Il castello e' visibile tutto anche da fuori o per vederlo bisogna fare la visita guidata?grazie
Written January 7, 2021
Ciao, il castello è privato quindi devi fare una visita privata. Ti consiglio di prenotarla tramite internet, è molto comodo. Vai a vederlo perché merita.

Prezzi alti, ... bassi ..
Perché non scrivere i costi precisi?
Grazie
Written September 28, 2018
Prezzi alti o bassi è una domanda vaga.
Il giro all'interno del borgo è gratuito
Un ristorante è medio costo l'altro alto costo.
Comunque c'è anche un bar con prezzi normali.
Spero di essere stata utile!

buongiorno,
vorrei passare il capodanno al castello con due bambine una di 7 anni, l'altra di 6 mesi pernottando un paio di notti, è possibile alloggiare all'interno del castello dove usufruire nello stesso locale del cenone, senza uscire e far prendere freddo alla puù piccola?
Written November 20, 2017
Delle varie proposte per Capodanno solo una si svolge nel castello. Le altre sono nei ristoranti del borgo e nelle stradine.
L'unica possibilità di pernottamento è nell'hotel del borgo: San Martino. Ad ogni modo il borgo è piccolo e tutto è vicino.
In una parte del castello abitano i proprietari.
