Set in the fourth century context of ‘Castello di San Pietro in Cerro’ a short distance from Piacenza and Cremona, “Locanda del Re Guerriero” is a new hotel welcomes guests to the ancient mews and houses of the farm-workers and coachmen, inside the Castle’s vast park.
The building of medieval origins is reached by passing the majestic avenue of lime trees; it has been documented since 1720 and has been lovingly renovated to offer you a refined and exclusive stay. The bedrooms complete its modern comfort, with wireless internet, and are furnished elegantly with touches of the aristocratic style of the time, enriched by contemporary art works from MiM – Museum in Motion, the large collection of the owner, Franco Spaggiari, set up in the evocative surroundings of the attic in the Castle. A well with unusual double turnstile can be admired in the reception hall area. Thanks to skilful restoration, 21st century comfort perfectly blends with the history and natural beauty of the place – ideal for a relaxing holiday surrounded by the silence of the countryside, with the possibility of experiencing all the magic of the ancient Castle close up and the wonderful surrounding area which can be explored on foot, by bicycle or horse.
The surroundings boast lots of artistic and cultural heritage and an excellent local cuisine waiting to be discovered and tasted. Furthermore, only for Locanda guests - on booking, and groups of 15 or more, there is also the possibility of dining at the hotel.
