Majestic 16th-century Castle Between Milan And Pavia

This majestic 16th-century castle for sale is in an enchanting natural context of the province of Pavia, just 20 km from Milan and in an extraordinary panoramic position on the outskirts of the renowned Certosa di Pavia.

Its strategic location, halfway between Milan's enchanting countryside and the luxuriant forest of the Ticino Park, a stone's throw from the blue river, ensures a context of privacy and intimacy in which to enjoy pleasant moments of relaxation and tranquillity.

Considered a Monumental Historical Property, the castle includes in its 2,800 square meters two buildings, currently used for both commercial and residential use, immersed in a majestic park of five and a half hectares.

The central body, currently in use, consists of a building whose connotation recalls the typical "Lombard court": composed of two floors and a three-storey tower that stands out over the Po valley. It was built in 1500 on commission from the Marquis Pallavicino di Scipione, who made it his main home. The 200-sqm cellars, all paved, are used for storage, while the upper floors house five apartments and two halls, one of which is dedicated to receptions and the organization of events and ceremonies, and an attic where it is possible to obtain more apartments or rooms.

The subtle common thread that links the furnishing proposals of all the apartments, in the name of the most refined luxury, is a classic and timeless design that characterizes them, with precious elements such as mirrors, chandeliers, tables and sideboards. Of particular value is the ceiling in the hall of the tower, made with coffers and decorated with splendid paintings, while outside the castle a fresco from 1550 enriches the façade, next to a portico.

Inside the park, located at the entrance to the complex, there is a two-storey building, once dedicated to the accommodation of the servants, today rented out for commercial activities.

In the internal courtyard, there is also a small private chapel to complete this prestigious estate for sale, a property with timeless charm able to offer an experience of absolute peace and privacy, without giving up the services offered by the main cities such as Milan and Pavia.
