Castello Malaspina Varzi In Varzi

Count Odetti's castle is beautiful. Greeted by the descendant of the Malaspina family himself, we immersed ourselves in his family's history. The castle is very well-maintained thanks to the care and attention of the entire family. The welcome was wonderful, it felt like family. Highly recommended ❤️

A visit to Malaspina Castle is an experience that goes beyond the discovery of a historic building. It's a journey guided by the descendant of Odetti, where past meets present. The authenticity of this visit lies in sharing his vision and the projects he has for this place: to publicize the castle, to enhance its artistic heritage through research, and to offer the opportunity to experience these spaces through tastings and events.

A very interesting and fascinating historical monument, both inside and out. Highly recommended. I would like to thank Count Enrico Odetti di Marcorengo again for his courtesy and availability during the guided tour.

In Varzi, in one of the most medieval villages of the Oltrepò Pavese, one of the numerous Malaspina castles, an ancient family from the early Middle Ages, with its own restaurant of the starred AD ASTRA.

Beautiful even if transformed into a restaurant

Worth a visit. Evocative and fascinating.

It was a very positive experience, both in terms of the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff, and the very unique and beautifully presented menu. Special compliments to the sommelier, Sara, and the chef. We will definitely be back.

The castle is worth a visit. The kindness of the owner, who showed us around the property, is the added value of the guided tour.

The castle has been renovated over the years. The guide, a descendant of the family, was friendly and gave detailed explanations. Worth a visit.

Visiting Varzi without entering its castle means missing out on the village's soul. Thanks to advance booking, we had the privilege of participating in a guided tour that to call "spectacular" is an understatement. Varzi Castle is not a simple, sterile monument, but a living home, meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail and imbued with an evocative atmosphere that immediately transports you back to centuries past. Each room tells a story, maintaining that rare balance between historical grandeur and domestic warmth. The true added value of the experience was Count Odetti. His welcome was impeccable: a host from another era who conveys the passion and responsibility of preserving such a heritage. His narration is not a cold sequence of dates, but a living, cultured, and deeply engaging tale that transforms the visit into an emotional journey. Practical notes for future visitors: Reservation: Essential to organize access and fully enjoy the exclusivity of the tour. Target: Ideal for those seeking an authentic cultural experience, far from the mass and superficial tourist circuits. A heartfelt thank you to the Count for his exquisite hospitality. An experience I highly recommend to anyone who appreciates beauty and history.
