7 bedrooms castle, 662 m²

Balzola, Alessandria (province)

Situated at the foot of the Monferrato hills, this remarkable neo-Gothic villa-castle was designed in 1928 by Giovanni Battista Carrera, a leading figure of Turin’s Art Nouveau movement. Rising eight storeys and approximately 30 metres in height, this 662-sqm estate has an extraordinary collection of original features, including stained-glass windows, silk-covered walls, painted decorations, Murano glass chandeliers, and bespoke furnishings, making it one of Italy’s most intact 20th-century architectural treasures.
Surrounded by a crenellated wall, the property includes a private chapel, a historic 300-sqm roof garden, and a spectacular tower terrace offering panoramic views of the Alps, Monferrato hills, and Po Valley. The interiors are arranged across multiple levels, with grand reception rooms, museum-quality decorative details, intimate lounges, and six bedrooms distributed throughout the upper floors.
Listed by the Turin-Piedmont Film Commission as a prestigious filming location, the castle combines historical significance, artistic excellence, and dramatic architecture, making it a unique property and exceptional venue for cultural or creative use.
