The B&B “Chez Vivì” is located in the medieval village of Arquà Petrarca which takes its name from the great poet Francesco Petrarca who, in the 14th century, spent the last years of his life here and in the square next to the Church there is his Tombstone.
The house of the Poet, preserved intact, can still be visited
