Close to the medieval castles of Castell' Arquato, Castel Nuovo, Vigoleneo, Bardi. Visit Giuseppe Verdi's birthplace, theatre and museum at Busetto - catch some local opera to go with the local food and hospitality. n nSample the local trattorias around our Holiday Home Italy where you will find superbly cooked regional foods together with quality local wines. nOr...have a restful night at home in the Holiday Villa Italy, and try the local pasta specialty, freshly home made and recently frozen in your freezer.
