Immersed in the hills north of Turin, towards Ivrea, in Piedmont, is this refined 17th-century castle designed by architect Chevalley. Perched on top of a hill facing south in the Morenico amphitheater of Ivrea, the historic building, which was once the residence of the Savoy and Monferrato nobility, extends over 2960 square meters on three levels, surrounded by a 2-hectare park with centuries-old trees and stables.^^The roots of the castle seem to date back to the 12th century, or even to the year 1000. Architect Chevalley carried out a complete renovation, modifying the traditional horseshoe-shaped layout by adding the Tower, an elegant loggia, and an imposing entrance hall.^^The property offers 2500 square meters of interior space spread over three floors, with large rooms furnished with antique fireplaces and Baroque details. The large windows offer a view of the park. A magnificent marble staircase leads to the second floor, where the sleeping area, three apartments, and a chapel are located, accessible through a charming arched corridor. The main tower houses spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, and a splendid panoramic terrace. In the basement, there is a weapons room, a kitchen for events, and a wine cellar.^^In front of the main entrance, a large terrace overlooks the gardens, and below it is the orangery, which overlooks the Italian garden. A 70-square-meter outbuilding at the entrance serves as the caretaker's residence.^^The property extends over approximately 2 hectares, including Italian gardens and a private ancient grove. From the grove, you can access a second entrance, where there is an area dedicated to horse riding, ideal for special events as well.,
