Stella Castle, an exclusive residence suspended between the sky and Monferrato
Descrizione della proprietà
In the historic village of Vaglio Serra, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage hills of Upper Monferrato, the elegant silhouette of the enchanting Castello Stella stands in a commanding position. It takes its name from the noble family who lived there from its origins in the 15th century; the castle was renovated several times over the years, up to the 18th century. In 2013, it was completely restored using the finest materials and transformed into a charming residence of outstanding architectural and landscape value. The property enjoys a breathtaking panoramic setting, with unobstructed views over the surrounding hills, vineyards and spectacular sunsets that only this part of Piedmont can offer. It is further enhanced by a 12 x 6 metre infinity pool, perfectly integrated into the landscape, with direct views over the greenery and horizon. The castle is currently divided into six residential units: a spacious, bright and elegantly finished main house, featuring frescoed ceilings and refined antique terracotta and parquet floors; an independent multi-level apartment within the noble palace, with a small panoramic terrace; and four independent guest annexes in the rustic brick section, each with its own entrance, fully furnished and ready to occupy. Every room has been finished with meticulous attention to detail, combining functional and tasteful furnishings, sophisticated finishes and architectural solutions that blend history with contemporary comfort. The property is currently used as a high-end hospitality business and venue for private events, but it could also become an exclusive family residence immersed in the peace and beauty of nature. Alternatively, it could be converted into an ideal prestigious guest residence for hosting guests and clients and organising receptions. The complex also includes an original, wonderfully preserved wine cellar, a small “infernot” and a valuable vault for storing the finest wines. The property is completed by a spectacular terraced portico, created from the old hayloft and used as a reception area for approximately 80 people. The heart of the outdoor space lies beside the splendid pool in the large panoramic garden, which opens out behind the palace in complete privacy, as well as in the elegant cobbled inner courtyard, an ideal convivial setting for receptions and parties. A unique property and a rare opportunity. More than a property, it is a story of history, light and landscape.
