About the Property

A stunning restored castle, the Castle of Montalto Dora, dating back to the year 1000, majestically overlooks the Lakes of Ivrea from its position atop Monte Crovero. This remarkable property spans approximately 6.6 hectares and features 2,525 square meters of interior space, including 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. Located just 2 kilometers from the town of Montalto Dora, it provides convenient access to essential services and is within two hours of other historic cities and renowned ski resorts in northern Italy. The castle's architecture reflects its storied past, having evolved from a fortified tower and chapel in the 11th century to its current quadrangular form, complete with four circular towers. The interior is organized around a central paved courtyard, ideal for hosting events and ceremonies. The ground floor encompasses numerous halls, a dining room with kitchen, and an office, while the first floor features a grand reception room, additional living spaces, and libraries. A beautiful 15th-century chapel adorned with frescoes is situated within the courtyard, enhancing the castle's historical significance. The property also includes a secondary keep, which served as a guesthouse in the past, and an old cascina requiring restoration. The castle's historical importance is underscored by its strategic location along the Via Francigena, which facilitated trade and travel in the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, it has been owned by notable families, including the Savoy, and has undergone significant renovations to preserve its architectural integrity.
