ROPPOLO – VILLA RAMPONE

Historic Italian Estate Overlooking Lake Viverone – Piedmont, Northern Italy

Villa Rampone stands on the edge of the charming village of Roppolo, in the Province of Biella, in a privileged position overlooking Lake Viverone and along a historic section of the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route crossing Europe and Italy.

Dating back to the early 19th century, the estate has undergone significant renovations and extensions over the years, evolving into its present elegant configuration, where historic architectural elements blend with refined Art Deco influences, reflecting the distinctive character of the grand aristocratic villas found around the lakes of Piedmont.

A particularly evocative feature of the property is its historic internal courtyard, accessible from the garden through a spacious portico topped by an open loggia. The courtyard leads to a charming private chapel, adding further character and uniqueness to the estate.

The property comprises the main villa, several ancillary buildings and extensive agricultural land, part of which is cultivated as vineyards.

The principal residence is arranged over two and three above-ground floors, in addition to a basement level. It features a monumental entrance with a grand staircase, as well as numerous secondary entrances providing direct access from the surrounding park and gardens.

The interiors retain a number of impressive reception rooms and original architectural features.

On the ground floor are the main reception hall, two sitting rooms, two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathrooms and service areas. The magnificent principal hall, probably originating from the estate’s former refectory, is now an elegant dining room distinguished by a high frescoed ceiling, original flooring, finely carved wood panelling and a monumental, richly decorated stone fireplace bearing a coat of arms.

The upper floors accommodate a total of seventeen bedrooms, together with additional sitting rooms, a study, kitchen, walk-in wardrobe, numerous bathrooms, balconies, covered loggias and terraces.



The grounds further enhance the exceptional character of the estate. The property includes an extensive private garden and parkland with mature centuries-old trees, including magnificent Magnolia grandiflora, as well as rose gardens.

A recently renovated swimming pool provides a beautiful focal point within the grounds.

Several ancillary buildings complete the estate, including storage areas, laundry facilities, a garage, changing room, technical rooms, greenhouse and orangery. The property also includes a caretaker’s house with its own garden and garage.

Villa Rampone is an estate of extraordinary charm, where history, architecture and landscape come together in a setting of exceptional beauty.

Its strategic location, approximately 50 minutes from Turin and within convenient reach of the airports serving Milan, offers an exceptional combination of privacy and tranquillity while maintaining excellent connections to the major cities and international transport hubs of Northern Italy.

The estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a prestigious historic property in Piedmont, suitable for those seeking an exceptional private residence or for an investor looking for a distinctive asset with potential for a high-end hospitality, boutique accommodation or luxury events concept.
