A walk through a long avenue of very old plane trees leads to the Villa, a delicious building in the lighter edition of baroque called Rococò, surrounded by neo-gothic farmsteads, in the middle of an old park, designed by Pregliasco.

It is a building of French taste, but has also some typically Piedmontese traits, with its Big Hall in the middle and the rooms and their furniture. It is the seat of the Countess Alessandra Castelbarco Visconti and her family. The visit is amusing: it´s like stepping back in time, almost as though the old owners had just left for a walk, leaving their things in the rooms, the table laid for a formal dinner, the bedrooms with last century´s clothes and all kind of little things in becoming disarray. Astonishing the great Hunting Hall rising over two floors, designed by Borra and plaster work made by Swiss artists, the Formal rooms, dining room, the Gallery, the the Countess´ Bedroom and of King Carlo Alberto Bedroom.

The mansion is to be rent for wedding parties and other ceremonies, meeting or simply for a week in the lovely Bed and Breakfast, in an atmosphere of subtle elegance...
