    We chose the guided tour with an actor who impersonated Cavour, dressed like him. It was a wonderful experience: he talked about himself and the history of the castle firsthand. Beautiful Experience

    I took my biella boy to discover "my" territory of origin, he was enchanted. The castle is very nice at sunset even more, maybe.

    Wine tasting, local history and some damn beautiful views... On a clear day, you can see beautiful panoramas of the surrounding hills from the castle parks- it makes for a truly magical setting for wedding photos I imagine. The castle itself is visitable; there is a museum on local culture and history and there is also a large wine cellar that helps you get your head around the various wines the Region of Piemonte actually produces.

    On the way to the “International truffle fair of Alba”, we stopped in this beautiful fairytale castle. Awide and interesting selection of wines and even a restaurant with view. Panoramic and amazing place.

    The castle is on the top of the small hill (like all other surrounding it :)) and it is has a stunning view. The whole place is simply perfectly renewed (mostly with EU funds) and has a museum of vinemaking and shop for selling local vines and other products. We havent bought vine but a local haselnut cream (pandan of Nutella, only much better). If you wanna take photos on a sunny day, or just plug out from.the daily routine this is a perfect spot :)

    Very nice view. Clean and easy to find. Not much to do other than walk around the grounds, visit the gift shop and walk around town.
