Restored Medieval Castle With Approved Boutique Hotel Project

About the Property

Restored Medieval Castle with Approved Boutique Hotel Project, dating back to 1164, situated on a hill in Monferrato, Italy, commanding a breathtaking view of the surrounding medieval town. This impressive property encompasses over 4,000 m² and is ideally positioned for conversion into a luxury boutique hotel, with plans approved to expand the number of bedrooms to 23. The estate includes a well-maintained 18,405 m² Italian garden, a frescoed church, and a swimming pool, all within one hour's drive from Asti. The castle's storied history begins in the early Middle Ages, serving as a fortress that witnessed significant conflicts between Asti and the Marquisate of Monferrato. Following its destruction in the 14th century, it was rebuilt in the 15th century, evolving into its current form through extensive renovations in the 18th century. The architecture features an irregular L shape, indicative of its defensive origins, with beautifully frescoed halls and a basement that retains its medieval character. The property also boasts underground galleries and tunnels, historically used for water supply. The interior comprises twelve spacious reception halls, nine guest suites, and areas designated for dining and events. Currently, fourteen new guest apartments are under construction, each with independent access, alongside plans for a fitness area in the castle's basement. Outside, two expansive terraces provide stunning views of the town below, while the Italian garden features a small hedge maze and shrines.
