Description

In the ancient village of Vaglio Serra, in the heart of the Unesco heritage hills of Alto Monferrato, the elegant figure of the fascinating Castello Stella stands in a dominant position, referring to the noble family that has inhabited it since its origins dating back to the 1400s, renovated multiple times over the centuries until the 18th century. In 2013, it was completely restored with high-quality materials and transformed into a charming residence of great architectural and landscape value. The property extends in a breathtaking panoramic position, with an open view of the surrounding hills, vineyards, and spectacular sunsets that only this part of Piedmont can offer. All enhanced by a 12x6 meter infinity pool, perfectly integrated into the landscape, with direct views of the greenery and the horizon. The castle is currently divided into six residential units, composed as follows: a large, bright manor house finished with elegance, with frescoed ceilings and refined antique terracotta and parquet floors, an independent apartment on multiple levels within the noble palace with a small belvedere terrace, and four independent annexes located in the rustic brick section, each with an autonomous entrance, perfectly furnished and ready to live in. Every environment is curated in the smallest details, with functional and tasteful furnishings, refined finishes, and architectural solutions that combine history and contemporary comfort. Currently, the property is used as a high-level hospitality activity and location for private events, but it also lends itself to becoming an exclusive family residence, immersed in the tranquility and beauty of nature, or it can be transformed into an ideal representative residence for hosting guests, clients, and organizing receptions. The complex also features a wonderfully preserved original cellar, a small infernot, and a precious vault for storing the finest wines. The property is completed by the scenic terraced porch, obtained from the old barn and used as a reception space for about 80 people. The heart of the exterior beats next to the splendid pool in the large panoramic garden that opens at the back of the palace, in absolute privacy, but also in the elegant cobbled inner courtyard, an ideal convivial space for receptions and parties. A unique property and a rare opportunity. More than a property, a tale of history, light, and landscape.

Location: Vaglio Serra, Piedmont

Vaglio Serra is one of those Piedmontese villages that seem suspended in time, where the discreet beauty of the landscape meets the depth of history and the richness of traditions. Inhabited by a few hundred "Vagliesi" (about 300), the village extends over just under five square kilometers, at an altitude of about 278 meters above sea level. Vaglio Serra is an integral part of the hillside community called "Vigne & Vini" and the Unesco Heritage "Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe - Roero and Monferrato." The territory thrives on viticulture: the Viticoltori Associati Vinchio-Vaglio Serra cooperative has been taking care of the local vineyards for decades, producing wines such as Barbera d'Asti, embedding care, territory, and tradition in every phase of the process. Among the natural beauties, the Val Sarmassa Nature Reserve offers woods, panoramic paths, and unspoiled nature. The village offers events and festivals in all seasons, with wine tastings, gastronomic specialties, and musical performances.
