Medieval splendour in a romantic setting
Sep 2014 • Couples
A beautiful medieval village located in the rolling hills of Emiglia-Romagna. Several cafes and restaurants to accommodate every budget. Local wines can be enjoyed here, and enhance the enjoyment of the amazing scenery. Around every corner of the winding cobble-stoned streets are little shops to tempt the traveller. Up in the piazza are several bars, cafes and restaurants serving wine, snacks or beautiful meals. Definitely worth a visit!

20 minutes off of the Autostrada and turn the clock back 400 years
Jun 2014 • Family
What a great side trip. On our way back from Venice we stopped for lunch and a tour of this town. Truly a great place to visit. The castle is worth the 4 Euro entry cost. Climb to the top to enjoy views of the valley below. If you are looking for local flavor, many of the food stores are happy to make recommendations.

Well preserved medieval town in Piacenza
Mar 2014 • Couples
It was great to stroll around the town, with it's castle, the park, an old church, well preserved houses. The view from the tower was great.

Real Castle, Real Community, Real Old, Real Impressive
May 2014 • Friends
We were recommended to go to this castle, as it was the best in the area, and legitimately OLD, with a real Medieval town built into it's sides and history. We also walked up the hill, and could have driven, but we didn't know how to do that. It was a rich find though, at the top, with an old cloister frilled with holy old things, a very old Gothic church that was begin in the 700s, still in use. The choir was practicing when we were there.Lots of restaurants around and not a lot of people. It was a really nice place to go and spend several hours.

Buy a ticket and listen to the curator's account of the castle and regional history.

This castle and it's regional partners were never attacked.

Castell Arquato might be a small town but boy do they have a multitude of great restaurants and none better than this. Family owned and run since it opened it offers a fantastic range of dishes and an even better range of local wines, I loved it and will be back.

Beatifull little old village
Dec 2015
Castell'Arquato is a wonderful and well maintained old village located in the Po valley at the foot of the Appennini mountains near Piacenza. It is good for a day visit, not far from Milano. Very good and typical restaurants are in this location.

Spectacular Medieval Village
Sep 2016 • Friends
A magnificent historical village which we enjoyed visiting during a Medieval weekend event. There were Market stalls leading from the Castle down the cobblestone streets to the centre. Lots of handmade crafts for sale. There were musicians and jesters. The little shops and friendly locals helped make it another reason why we should return in the future.

A glimpse of the middle ages
Sep 2016 • Couples
Castell'Arquato is a beautifully preserved medieval town, complete with castle, church and civic buildings. It's an ideal place to wander and admire, and to do so safely as traffic is mostly banned from the town and confined to the outskirts. There are several good restaurants, too. One piece of advice - it's worth taking a few 50c coins to light up the interior of the church and the frescoes in a side chapel.
