Colle del Barbarossa
Our agricultural company and farm house, “Colle del Barbarossa” is located along the road that leads from Teolo, the heart of the Euganean Hills, to Castelnuovo, a highly sought-after area since ancient times due to the advantages of its strategic position for both defense and air quality.
While the earliest signs of human civilization trace back to the Paleolithic era, it is in the Middle Ages that Teolo assumes a role of notable political and administrative significance. The ruins of the Rocca Pendice castle, which still overlooks our farmhouse, date back to this period and were the scene of ongoing struggles between the vicar of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the people of Padua.
Building on this historical event, poets and playwrights laid the foundation for the legend of young Speronella. It is inspired by this fascinating story that the name “Colle del Barbarossa” was born.

The Agriturismo
Between the rock cliff of Rocca Pendice, the ruins of the Speronella castle, and the Schivanoia waterfall, you will find the Colle del Barbarossa farmhouse: a family-run establishment where agricultural tradition blends with hospitality and gastronomy.
The Rooms
The house consists of three double/twin rooms, an entrance, and a common kitchen on the ground floor. Each room has a private bathroom and is equipped with a wall-mounted TV, heating, air conditioning, and essentials (towels, hairdryer, soap).
Spuntineria
Every weekend and holiday from late March to late October, we also open our snack bar, the Spuntineria.
We specialize in the production of cured meats: salami, soppressa, coppa, pancetta, and lard, which we serve with warm bread, wine from our production, and cheese.
