The property is located in the province of Alessandria in a charming village on the hills between Monferrato and Langhe. The Castle, which later took the name ”Royal Castle“ as it was purchased by Her Majesty Queen Cristina di Borbone, still retains the original defensive walls. The castle has been mentioned in official documents since 1367 when the town fell into the possession of Galeazzo Visconti however it is certain that prior to this there was already a fortress for defending the town. The Viscontis invested various families for the management of the town, the last of which remained in charge for over five centuries. In 1908 the Castle was declared a valuable national monument for its art and history by the Ministry of Education.
The completely renovated property consists of:
• Main body of the Castle: developed on 4 floors for a total of 1,700 square meters.

The first floor houses seven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms; the second floor has two master suites with private bathrooms, all of a generous size.
