Our structure is located in the pleasant countryside of Crema, just a stone's throw from the city center, easily accessible by bicycle along the connecting cycle path.
The B&B is part of an ancient rural complex that has undergone various transformations over the decades (including the construction of a small church in the late 1800s).
The last major renovation took place starting in 2009, when we decided to embark on this new adventure. Each of the three guest rooms is dedicated to one of our ancestors, who allowed us to inherit this splendid farmhouse.
What sets us apart is the tranquility, peace, and silence of the place, in an elegant historical setting. From the windows of each room, you can enjoy the view of one of the monumental trees of the Lombardy region, a more than 100-year-old Quercus robur, recently pruned using the Tree Climbing technique.
Guests have access to a large garden and park, which almost all rooms overlook, as well as an outdoor playground for children.
We have both outdoor and covered parking spaces available.
We can provide contacts for booking regular bicycles, mountain bikes, and pedal-assisted bikes for half a day, a full day, or more.
It is possible to arrange a guided tour (even on Saturdays and Sundays) at a bell foundry workshop, the historic Allanconi company, located about 1km away (via Allanconi 5, Bolzone di Ripalta Cremasca) from the B&B.
It is also possible to arrange a guided tour of the "Comm. Giovanni Tamburini" organ factory, located at via Costituzione 7 in Pianengo, where you can admire various models of organs and other historical instruments (duration of the visit is approximately 60 minutes). Nearby, you can also visit the organ reed workshop "F. lli Denti," located at via Indipendenza 33 in Pianengo (duration of the visit is approximately 30 minutes).
You can purchase the book "The True Story of Princess Lapis Lazuli," a fairy tale for children aged 9-11 written by the owner of the B&B, illustrated with drawings by the students and set to music by a musician who frequents the B&B.
