Description

Just a few minutes’ walk from the main amenities in the center of Sciolze, a charming hilltop village in the province of Turin, this terraced house dating back to the 17th century was renovated in 2006 with great attention to preserving the original architectural elements and respecting the style of the period. The property is spread over three levels and is nestled in a quiet and private setting, right on the edge of the town center, which is easily accessible on foot. The main entrance, located beside the picturesque “Locanda delle Marionette”, a renowned traditional Piedmontese restaurant with an adjoining bed & breakfast, opens onto a delightful internal courtyard that leads to the ground floor of the house. At the heart of the living area is a spacious and welcoming lounge featuring a fully functional Norwegian Jøtul fireplace, enhanced by exposed brick vaulted ceilings typical of the region. This level also includes a characterful rustic-style masonry kitchen, well-organized and functional, as well as a convenient guest bathroom. A masonry staircase leads to the first floor, which is dedicated to the sleeping area and consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms features a wooden mezzanine, while another offers access to a panoramic balcony with open views over the gentle hills of Turin, the perfect spot to enjoy relaxing moments outdoors. Descending to the semi-basement level, you’ll find a charming tavern-style room, also enhanced by restored brick vaulted ceilings, making it an ideal space for dinners, wine tastings, or simply for relaxation. From the semi-basement level, you can access the private garden, a secluded and usable green space where you could create a cozy outdoor relaxation area or, if needed, convert it into a parking spot. This property represents a rare opportunity for those looking to live in a historic and authentic setting without sacrificing the convenience of nearby services.

Location: Sciolze, Piedmont

Located just 20 kilometers from Turin, and a short distance from the first villages of the Monferrato Astigiano, Sciolze is a charming hilltop village that has preserved its historic and natural character intact. Perched on a gentle rise overlooking the surrounding valleys, the village offers a rare balance of tranquility, nature, and convenience. All main services, including a pharmacy, grocery store, bar, and two traditional restaurants, are within easy walking distance, making everyday life both simple and pleasant. The origins of Sciolze date back to ancient times: the first official document mentioning its existence dates to 1034, though the area was already inhabited in pre-Roman times. Over the centuries, Sciolze witnessed the events of the Marquisate of Monferrato and the Duchy of Savoy, evolving from a noble fiefdom into a popular holiday retreat for wealthy Turinese families in the 19th century, drawn by its healthy air and relaxing views. The historic center is a small architectural gem, characterized by cobbled alleys, picturesque corners, and buildings that tell centuries of history. Among its landmarks stands the Castle of San Severino, which overlooks the village from above: although only traces of the original medieval structures remain, the site still hosts an elegant private residence in eclectic style. Also noteworthy is the Church of San Giovanni Battista, dating back to the 15th century and enriched over time with artworks and liturgical decorations. Sciolze is also an ideal starting point for walks, hikes, and food-and-wine itineraries. The area is crossed by scenic trails and easily connects to the Cammino Don Bosco, a cultural and spiritual route that passes through several significant sites in the Piedmontese hills. The life of the village is enlivened by events and traditions that celebrate its identity. Among the most anticipated is the Pumpkin Festival (Sagra della Zucca), held every year on the first Sunday of October, which transforms the streets into a lively market filled with local flavors, stalls, and entertainment for all ages.
