Description
The spacious one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the historic city centre offers an atmosphere of tranquillity and authenticity. The building housing the property, a former convent, still retains the charm of its origins, with views over the sixteenth-century cloister, exposed brickwork, high vaulted ceilings and wooden plank flooring that tell a story perceptible in every room. The apartment is located on the second and top floor of the building adjoining the historic Church of San Domenico. Bright, welcoming and perfect for enjoying its spaces naturally, the large living area with open-plan kitchen is the heart of the home. A practical pantry with laundry area, a bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and the entrance hall with bathroom complete the living area. The property also includes approximately 90 sq m of attic space, which can be connected to the apartment and is ideal for those wishing to extend the living area or create additional functional rooms. The property is completed by a private parking space in the communal courtyard, included in the price and accessible through an automatic gate.
Piazza San Domenico is located in the heart of Casale Monferrato’s historic centre, a city rich in history and culture that was named European City of Wine 2024 thanks to the quality of its wine production and its distinctive food and wine tradition. Just steps from the pedestrian area are bars, shops, historic businesses and numerous restaurants showcasing Monferrato cuisine, making the area lively and pleasant at any time of day. The streets around Piazza San Domenico regularly come alive with markets held in Piazza Mazzini, known as Piazza Cavallo, and Via Roma, the city centre’s main street. The neighbourhood is also rich in places of historical interest: in addition to the Church of San Domenico and the Cathedral, visitors can explore the Torre di Santo Stefano, the Paleologi Castle with its large square hosting one of Italy’s most important antiques markets, and the magnificent Synagogue with the Museum of Lights, considered one of the most fascinating in Europe.
Casale Monferrato enjoys a strategic location in northern Italy, with fast connections to the main cities of Turin, approximately 1 hour away, Milan, 1 hour and 10 minutes away, and Genoa, 1 hour and 15 minutes away. This setting combines history, culture, gastronomy and convenient transport links, making the area one of the city’s most fascinating and sought-after neighbourhoods.
