Holiday apartment in Collebeato: hills, floodplain landscape and history

Landscape between the hills and the Mella floodplain

Collebeato features a marked contrast between hills and river landscape. Two-thirds of the Collebeato area consists of hills, while one-third is a narrow floodplain formed by the Mella River. When choosing a holiday apartment in Collebeato, you can use this contrast as the starting point for your travel concept: nature, activity, culture and regional history can each be given different emphasis.

Parkland and recreation

The park area of Collebeato covers 300 hectares. The parkland includes shrubland and dry meadows, which characterize this part of the hills. A project to establish a park in Collebeato aimed to make the area available for recreational use. Visitors interested in nature can consider the parkland, shrubland and dry meadows as a separate focus when planning their trip to Collebeato. This creates a nature-oriented theme for your planning, with plenty of scope for different daily rhythms and personal interests.

The Santuario della Madonna di Calvarola was probably built in the 15th century and rebuilt in 1701. It contains works by Pietro Scalvini. The Parrocchiale di S. Paolo dates from the 15th century and was renovated in the 1930s. The Convento di S. Stefano is a remarkable building. In the village of Campiani, there is a group of houses with the small Oratorio di S. Antonio. For visitors interested in culture, the religious buildings can form a separate focus in their personal travel planning. The Museo del Risorgimento is located in the vicinity of Collebeato and can be considered as a separate focus.

Historical traces and park itineraries

The Roggia Cobiada once supplied three mills with water along its course. Collebeato is connected to 11 park itineraries. This allows you to focus your travel planning on park and landscape themes while also taking historical connections into account.

The white peach in Collebeato

In 1919, Filippo Rovetta imported several peach plants to Collebeato. Traditionally, white peaches were mainly grown there; today, they are relatively rare. For visitors who want to discover regional specialties through their history and food culture as well, this peach is a distinctive detail of the place. The white peach can be included as a culinary theme of your stay in Collebeato alongside the landscape themes and religious buildings.
