Museo Grillo Camere d’Arte: the excellence of hospitality and creativity

Arena Po, a small village in the heart of Oltrepò Pavese, holds an artistic and cultural soul of rare beauty. Here stands the MAAAPO, Museo Arte Ambiente Arena Po, a municipal museum designed to create a unique bond between art and the environment. The exhibited works, created by internationally renowned artists, are displayed outdoors and can be freely admired both day and night, thanks to a lighting system that enhances them even after sunset. This project, conceived and founded by artist Gaetano Grillo, represents excellence in the Italian cultural scene, merging the beauty of nature with the expressive power of contemporary art.

Within this high-level artistic context, the “Museo Grillo Camere d’Arte” was born—an exclusive hospitality structure that blends art and accommodation in an unprecedented combination. Created by Gaetano Grillo himself and his wife Francesca Arneri, this unique place is housed in a 15th-century palace, masterfully restored to offer visitors an immersive experience in the world of art.

“Camere d’Arte” is not just a hotel but an authentic monographic museum, the first in Italy integrated into a historic residence. Featuring two exclusive suites, each 70 square meters in size and named Bianca and Colore, along with about 50 exhibited works, guests find themselves immersed in an environment where art takes center stage.

• Suite Bianca: Characterized by monochromatic artworks and an elegant, minimalist style.
• Suite Colore: A triumph of vibrant colors, perfectly aligned with Gaetano Grillo’s artistic vision.

Every element of the structure has been meticulously curated, with unique furnishings and objects crafted directly by the artist to make the stay an exclusive and unforgettable experience.

“Museo Grillo Camere d’Arte” is not just a place to stay but a holistic experience that allows guests to:

• Visit the exhibition spaces and discover the artist’s works.
• Participate in painting and ceramics workshops.
• Admire the landscape from the panoramic terrace, enjoying views of the river and countryside.
• Experience a unique stay thanks to the personalized hospitality of host Francesca Arneri.

Thanks to its proximity to MAAAPO, the Museo Grillo Camere d’Arte fits into a setting of cultural excellence, becoming a true artistic hub where critics, poets, and internationally renowned artists meet. Here, time slows down, allowing guests to rediscover the value of slowness, dialogue, and creativity.

Booking a stay at the “Museo Grillo Camere d’Arte” means stepping into a world where art is not only to be admired but to be lived.
