Medieval Fortress On Turin's Hills

This important historical estate is for sale with all the comforts of a modern luxury property, on top of a hill overlooking the entire province of Turin, an idyllic context made of thick forests and small lakes.

Obtained from an ancient convent dating back to the year 1000, subsequently fortified and transformed into a castle by Napoleon during one of his conquests in Piedmont, the current building dates back to the 17th century and over the last few years has been the subject of masterful restoration works that have brought to light its ancient beauty, today under the protection of the Fine Arts. This property, which over time belonged to important historical figures, currently houses a luxurious relais. Its elegant interiors, adapted to welcome guests in maximum comfort, retain that charming atmosphere that refers to ancient times, thanks to its finishes, furnishings and original period furniture.

For relaxation and leisure, an exclusive wellness center has been created inside the convent's old sacristy, while a refined restaurant, located in the eighteenth-century frescoed hall of the convent, is completed during the summer season by a big outdoor gazebo, inserted in a garden of palms and magnolias.

Very attractive are also the two gardens inside the structure, which are full of centuries-old plants and offer wonderful views.

Meeting spaces are set up in the convent's frescoed chapel, equipped with a pleasant fireplace, and in a study room characterized by a frescoed medallion. There are also rooms, hallway spaces, an administrative office, and a glazed 60-sqm gazebo.

Surrounding the structure with greenery, a large 11-hectare panoramic park is divided into delightful terraced gardens. The first welcomes us right at the entrance to the property, with its covered space under a fifteenth-century tower. In a Mediterranean-style garden there is also a panoramic infinity pool surrounded by magnificent terraces, one of which is huge and ideal for landing by helicopter.
