Sizzano, Novara (province)

Exuding the irreplaceable charm and grandeur of yesteryear, yet offering the utmost in both lifestyle and commercial opportunity due to the Palazzo's prime locale as the gateway to Piedmont, is this early 19th Century Italian Palace harmoniously blending sophisticated elegance with exceptional value.

Art, history, culture, and landscape converge perfectly on Piedmont's territory, the well-known region of northern Italy internationally renowned for its proximity to The Alps, its diverse countryside of both awe-inspiring rugged peaks and picturesque verdant hillsides, world-class cuisine and highly sought-after dry red wines of multiple varietals. Moreover, the close proximity of major economic hubs and tourist attractions such as Milan, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Switzerland ensures the region of Piedmont is more than just a tourist and cultural attraction, but also a burgeoning business destination.

In Sizzano, a quaint but notable village, Palazzo Tornielli proudly stands among several centuries of history. Located in the province of Novara, which includes the southern basin of Lake Maggiore, Palazzo Tornielli commands an elevated position in the township, projecting its importance proudly and remarkably.

In recent years, the township Sizzano itself has gained fame through the production of excellent wines, most notably "Sizzano DOC". From an architectural and naturalistic perspective, the province of Novara also features unique locations. In recent decades, this territory has been a destination for exceptional food and wine tourism.

Dating all the way back to the Italian Renaissance, the Palazzo (in its current form) we propose dates back to the early nineteenth century. The property, with an immense floorplan of over 1525sqm, is set in its own 1900sqm botanic park and is surrounded by mature trees and lush plantings all year around due to Sizzano's temperate climate.

Internally, the frescoed halls and the immense and elegant rooms are all unique and specific only to this grand estate, adorning and celebrating the Palazzo's historical arc. Abundant in character derived from its frescoes to the coffered ceilings, from the fireplaces to the light that enters the rooms, and from the cellars to its garden, Palazzo Tornielli communicates its rich history throughout and at every turn to any passerby.

The entire property can easily become the private residence of a family or those discerning few who appreciate and cherish the numerous peculiarities of period buildings. Further, the property is ideal for those who wish to seek the tranquillity of the province of Novara whilst remaining close to all connections in nearby Turin and/or Milan.

For the commercially savvy operator, given there are endless possibilities to customize the existing building, Palazzo Tornielli would also be an ideal place for exclusive weddings, meetings, and gala evenings. Furthermore, the large park adjacent to the main building offers a truly exceptional location for hosting sophisticated receptions, or for the conversion into an ultra-luxury Renaissance-style boutique hotel.

Temporally, the building is in fact less than 40 minutes from the shores of Lake Maggiore and from Milan Malpensa airport; less than 40 minutes from Novara, the provincial capital city; 1h from the centre of Milan and 1.30h from the capital of the Piedmont region, the monumental Turin.

Representing the very best of Italy's rich collective history whilst being undeniably well-located in the world-leading tourism and destination Piedmont region so close to a plethora of major economic hubs, Palazzo Tornielli is ready for the next custodian of its important legacy.
