In 1820, Risorgimento writer and patriot Silvio Pellico stayed in the Castle of Masino, located in Caravino (in province of Turin, Piedmont) – which he declared was “one of the most beautiful towns in the world”. Before him, the great playwright Vittorio Alfieri, beacon of Italian intellectuals during the Risorgimento, had stopped in the “beautiful Castle of Masino” in 1783; his favorite part was the castle’s prestigious library, home to twenty thousand precious and historical books.

The splendid building, originally a residence of the Count of Valperga, is now managed with laudable care by Fondo Ambiente Italiano. Surrounded by a huge park with an outstanding maze of hedges, the castle was first built in the 11th century, but was destroyed and rebuilt in the 1500s with impressive fortifications.

Nous sommes arrivés un peu en retard à cause du traffic de Turin mais pas de problème, Yvan s'adapte. La maison est proche de Turin et de ses magnifiques musées (L'Egypte, le cinéma, les voitures, le musée Reale).

"Mystic views of the mountains and the valley below through large open windows makes for a nice evening, the village below just a short walk from the property has few quaint shops, butcher shop, bakeries, groceries bars."

"The apartment is located in a beautiful Medieval Village in the Aosta Valley at the base of the Bard Fortress. There is convenient parking with a few excellent restaurants within walking distance. Marta, the property manager, was very accommodating and responsive- we enjoyed spending time with her. The stairs to and in the apartment are challenging for older adults or handicapped.We thoroughly enjoyed our Piemonte stay. "
