Description
In the picturesque hills of Castelnuovo Don Bosco stands this 18th-century country house, once owned by descendants of the Vittorio Emanuele family and recently the subject of a major, meticulous renovation carried out by the current owners. Set amid the tranquillity of the Piedmontese countryside and benefiting from a splendid south-facing position, the property is surrounded by extensive private grounds, ensuring privacy and a natural setting of great charm. The main residence retains all the authentic character of historic Piedmontese country homes and comprises a distinctive small cellar converted into a sitting room, a spacious double living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom and storage room on the ground floor; upstairs are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room and the master suite with private bathroom. The property is completed by an independent portion, ideal for staff or guests, comprising a living room-kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Outside, the splendid swimming pool set amid the greenery provides an oasis of relaxation perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, while the garage area ensures practicality and convenience. The property also includes a utility room housing a wood-burning boiler capable of meeting the needs of the entire residence. A charming home where history, authenticity and comfort coexist harmoniously, ideal both as a prestigious private residence and as an exclusive hospitality property in the heart of the Piedmontese hills.
Castelnuovo Don Bosco is a charming municipality of approximately 3,100 inhabitants, set amid the evocative hilly landscape of Monferrato. Strategically located, it is about a 30-minute drive from Asti and 40 minutes from Turin, allowing residents to enjoy the tranquillity of the Piedmont countryside without giving up proximity to the main urban centres. Airport connections are also convenient: Turin-Caselle Airport can be reached in approximately 45 minutes by car, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about an hour and a half away. Known as the “Land of Saints and Wines,” Castelnuovo Don Bosco is the birthplace of Saint John Bosco and is associated with Saint Joseph Cafasso and Saint Joseph Allamano. The area also boasts a long and renowned winemaking tradition, particularly linked to Malvasia di Schierano, used to produce the celebrated Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco DOC, and to Freisa. Among the main attractions is Colle Don Bosco, home to the Basilica of Don Bosco and the birthplace of Saint John Bosco. Nearby is the prestigious Abbey of Santa Maria di Vezzolano, in the neighbouring municipality of Albugnano, one of Piedmont’s most important medieval monuments. This is an area where history, culture, food and wine come together, with ancient villages, Romanesque architecture and the finest products of Piedmont’s winemaking tradition, ideally located for exploring Monferrato and conveniently reaching Turin and Asti.
