Villa Barattieri
An eighteenth-century residence overlooking the hills of the Val Nure, where every detail tells almost three centuries of history.
Food, nature & wine in the countryside of Piacenza
The eighteenth century,
still lived in today
The origins of the complex date back to the late seventeenth century, when Albarola was still called Ponte Albarola and the area was home to a large agricultural estate of the Jesuits. The present villa was born in 1704, when Trevani entrusted its design to Sartorio; with the marriage between Count Alberico Barattieri and Maria Trevani, in 1796, the residence entered the history of the family. It has never ceased to be lived in since.
Beyond the portal you find the frescoed gallery, the inner courtyard, a true open-air drawing room, and the garden laid out on several levels, sloping down towards the vineyards.

For over fifteen years the Villa has opened its doors to weddings, private dinners, corporate events, exhibitions and tours.
A home, not an events venue
«The villa is not simply hired for an event. It is lived.»
For over fifteen years the family has been opening the doors of the residence: weddings and ceremonies, private dinners, corporate events, exhibitions and cultural initiatives. There is no single model of event: each occasion is built around the nature of the house, the number of guests and the experience you wish to create.
The courtyard, the garden, the frescoed gallery
Beyond the portal, the inner courtyard is a true open-air drawing room: it hosts aperitifs, tastings and dinners under the stars, while the frescoed gallery welcomes private tables and indoor receptions.
The garden, laid out on several levels, slopes down towards the vineyards among the century-old trees of the park. And beneath the residence, the historic cellars open up for tours and tastings.
