Bed & Breakfast Villa I Due Padroni

Villa 'I Due Padroni' is situated in the vineyards of the Oltrepò Pavese, a region in which centuries old villages alternate with castles and forests. It is no surprise that this region is sometimes called ”Tuscany of Lombardia”.

Villa “I Due Padroni” offers you:

* a private sun-terrace with a panoramic view on the valley
* a spacious garden with swimming pool
* a beautiful area for hiking and cycling, around and in the vicinity of the villa
* a perfect starting point for one-day excursions to historic cities, the lakes and the Mediterranean
* access to a land of Cokaigne with sparkling wines and other gastronomic delicacies
* it goes without saying that you will also receive the hospitality of the two “Padroni”, who do everything to make your stay the most enjoyable.

The Oltrepò Pavese still is a truly unspoiled region and has not yet been discovered by the tourist industry. For instance, you will hardly run across any foreign licence plates here!

This is Italy as it is meant to be. This is Italy unplugged!

Villa I Due Padroni is situated in the part of the province of Pavia that is called Oltrepò Pavese. Oltrepò means literally: on the other side of the Po. The Po is the major river that dominates the large plain in Northern Italy.

South of the Po the plain quickly becomes hilly: the Oltrepò lies at the foothills of the Ligurian Alpes and the Apennines.

Leaving the villa you immediately step into the vineyards and will enjoy the tranquility, the magnificent views and the lovely weather. Sometimes the sky is so clear that you can see the Alpes 150 km away!

You're free to walk through all the vineyards, people put up fences only around their houses. Nobody will be surprised and stare at you if they see you strolling among their vines. On the contrary, they will greet you friendly and start a conversation.

This means that you can walk in any direction: to Santa Maria della Versa, Lirio and further. We will be pleased to give you some ideas for interesting hikes, ranging from an hours stroll to a day-trip.

Italians love race cycling. A popular cycling route runs by the villa: for the passionate cyclists and mountain bikers this area is ideal and challenging.

Of course, you can also make short trips by car. The roads are not busy. En route, hiking, cycling, or by car, you can hardly miss the many bars, restaurants, trattorias or what else there is to cater for the hungry and thirsty.

Many wine farms offer the opportunity to taste the local wines: a 'degustazione'.

Breakfast is included in the B&B price of 65 euros per room per night.
