Castello di Rivalta, in the village of Rivalta Trebbia in the municipality of Gazzola, province of Piacenza, hosts company meetings, gala dinners, private events and weddings. The offer centers on seven meeting rooms, eighteen bedrooms in the estate's own relais and several places to eat inside the village. The castle itself is a fortified complex still lived in by the Zanardi Landi counts.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer covers meetings, congresses and gala dinners, as well as informal formats such as team building, yoga sessions, cluedo games and cooking classes. The team states about twenty years of experience in the business. Each of the seven meeting rooms can be set up for the event requested. Equipment includes a screen, a video projector and a sound system with microphones. Hostess staff can be provided, and personalized gadgets can be produced for a group.
A spa and a gym are available on site, which helps with a residential seminar where participants want a break between sessions. A shuttle service and a transfer service with a private driver are offered for groups arriving by train or motorway.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can be celebrated on the estate in two ways. A Catholic ceremony takes place in the Church of San Martino, inside the village. A civil ceremony can be held in the castle park or in one of the castle's salons. Receptions and private events, such as family celebrations, use the same village and castle spaces, and each element can be tailored to the couple or host.
Rooms and capacities
The official pages state seven meeting rooms but do not publish seating capacities per room. Ask for the capacity of each room, and for the layout options, when you send your request. The village map on the website helps to see how the church, the castle, the hotel and the restaurants relate to each other.
Accommodation
The relais offers eighteen bedrooms. The hotel section of the website is organized around the Torre di San Martino, and it sells stays and packages separately from events. For a group larger than eighteen rooms, ask the team how overflow is handled.
Catering
The website lists three food and drink venues in the village: Caffè di Rivalta, Locanda del Falco and La Rocchetta. For events, the team presents two typical restaurants and one bistrot. Menus and formats for a group are agreed with the team.
History and setting
The castle is a large fortified complex that rises in Rivalta. It is furnished throughout and houses a Museum of Military Costume. Because it is a private home, it is open only through guided tours, which run all year except December 25. The data we hold places its origins around 1450 and records Italian national heritage status.
Getting there
The village sits in the countryside of the province of Piacenza, away from city traffic. The website describes it as close to the main motorway exits and to key rail links around Piacenza. Shuttle and private-driver transfers can be arranged through the events team.
