luxury property with pool for sale Ghiffa, Italy

Strambino Castle, overlooking the hills of the morainic amphitheater of Ivrea, a city from which it is about 7 km away, is a magnificent seventeenth-century castle located in an elevated position and equipped with an internal patio, a park of about two hectares and various outbuildings. The castle, which has a fifteenth-century rear part, lateral bodies built in the seventeenth century and a main frescoed facade from the second half of the eighteenth century, still preserves eighteenth-century frescoes and decorations attributed to Carlo Cogrossi. The property, spread over four levels and equipped with beautiful panoramic terraces, is perfectly livable and functional as a residence for all months of the year, and has numerous characteristics of historical and architectural value which enhance the interiors without attenuating the charm of a family home. The swimming pool, inserted in the front garden, with its comfortable pool house, completes the enjoyment of the property, which also includes the romantic park with driveway, the large lawn, the comfortable house for caretakers or guests, the garage, the courts and a land, formerly a vineyard, of about two hectares. The Castle dominates Strambino, a town equipped with every service and connected to the road and motorway junctions leading to Turin, Milan, Malpensa airport and the lakes, without forgetting the ski resorts of Val d'Aosta. In the surroundings there are numerous tourist resorts and splendid castles, such as that of Masino, a place where important cultural activities take place.
