✍️ Description from the real estate agent
Nestled in the picturesque Monferrato region of Piedmont, within the province of Alessandria, this prestigious castle is surrounded by rolling hills that create an enchanting, dreamlike ambiance.
Dating back to the 1300s, the castle holds a rich history, including a stay by Galeazzo Visconti. Later, it earned the title “Royal Castle” after being purchased by Cristina of Bourbon, Queen of Sardinia. Significant investments by the Queen and subsequent owners have transformed the property, enhancing its charm with a grand entrance crowned by an impressive tower.
Now fully restored, this 1,700 m² castle operates as a tourist accommodation facility but can also serve as a luxurious private residence, thanks to its well-planned interior layout.
The renovation beautifully blends the castle’s historical architectural features with modern design elements, creating an elegant flow of spaces that include reading rooms, tasting rooms, and sophisticated lounge bars, all exuding aristocratic refinement.
The estate comprises the main castle and a two-story outbuilding, all enclosed by ancient defensive walls. Spanning five floors, the castle offers nine suites and fourteen bedrooms, while the outbuilding provides an additional 500 m² of space.
Surrounding the property is a 7,000 m² park adorned with centuries-old trees, adding to the castle's allure.
This extraordinary property is a rare and exclusive treasure in Piedmont’s luxury real estate market.
