Its coats of arms well recounts its history - a red shield - like the land that surrounds it/ a black lion - symbol of courage and battles, glory and defeats. Historical chronicles in fact report that it was a place of refuge and protection for Ghibelline troops. Today CastelBigozzi is an hotel renovated maintaining the original elements of a 1200 structure and offers 14 suites all equipped with heating/ air-conditioning/ Jacuzzi bathtub or shower/ direct phone/ satellite TV/ safe/ mini-bar.
