Historic residence with breathtaking views in the heart of Mondovì Piazza
€550,000
Description
In the heart of the charming Piazza di Mondovì district, just a few steps from historic Piazza Maggiore—one of the most iconic places in the Monregalese Langhe—we offer a truly one-of-a-kind property, set within a prestigious 16th-century building.
The property benefits from dual access: one shared condominium entrance from Via Vico, the main gateway to the historic center, via an elegant 18th-century staircase recently restored, and one independent entrance from Vicolo Giuseppe Pizzo, parallel to the scenic promenade along the town’s ancient walls.
From the main 16th-century structure, where the property is arranged over three levels, a second independent floor-to-roof portion extends, facing the countryside. This includes two large garages on Vicolo Pizzo—an absolute rarity in the historic center—and a private entrance through an ancient wooden gate leading to the portico and the refined courtyard paved in Luserna stone. From here there is direct access to a delightful roof garden with breathtaking panoramic views.
The courtyard, open and bright, is the heart of the property: a striking space that harmoniously connects the different units and provides immediate access to Piazza Maggiore and the funicular station, which in under two minutes reaches the lively Breo district, the hub of the city’s commercial and professional activities.
From the courtyard you reach the chestnut-wood gallery with elegant wrought-iron railings, onto which overlook two studio apartments, previously used as a bed & breakfast and now used as a bedroom and a study, both with a bathroom and provision for a kitchenette.
The main residence is arranged over two levels: on the first floor the living area opens onto a large sitting room, a small study, a spacious kitchen with dining area, and a bathroom/laundry room. On the upper floor, connected by an evocative Lurisia-stone staircase with a wooden ceiling, is the sleeping area with three bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and two bathrooms.
A distinctive feature of the property is the continuous dialogue between indoors and outdoors: every room is enhanced by French doors offering unique, evocative glimpses of the surrounding landscape.
Also on the second floor, overlooking the garden, there is an additional independent apartment comprising an entrance hall, living room with dining area, bedroom/study, walk-in closet, and two bathrooms, with access from the condominium staircase on Via Vico.
The property is completed by numerous charming and highly functional ancillary spaces: a summer kitchen overlooking the portico and the garden, storage rooms at courtyard level, large exposed-brick cellars with ancient niches for wine aging, and evocative historic passageways.
This residence represents a rare synthesis of historic charm and contemporary comfort, the result of a careful renovation that has enhanced fine materials and original details.
What makes this property truly unique are the light, the extraordinary view stretching from the Langhe to the Maritime Alps, and the absolutely prestigious setting in which it stands.
