This elegant castle, nestled among the rolling hills of Canavese, just 2 km from picturesque Lake Candia, is a charming mansion that holds a rich history.
Inside the castle, the various rooms are elegantly and tastefully furnished, enhanced by period frescoes, wood and mosaic floors, antique furniture, crystal chandeliers and chairs with fine fabrics.

The mansion, with an interior area of 2,500 square meters spread over three floors, accommodates a vast reception hall, a majestic living room with a billiard table, a library, a dining room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms. Each room features sumptuous antique fireplaces and Baroque finishes, with large windows overlooking the beautiful surrounding park. A sumptuous marble staircase leads to the second floor, where three apartments and a chapel are located, accessible through a charming arched corridor. The main tower offers spacious bedrooms, bathrooms and a magnificent rooftop terrace. The basement houses the armory, an event kitchen and a wine cellar.
Outside, the castle is surrounded by a magnificent park with a variety of plants and trees.

Historically, the castle belonged to the Counts Valperga of Massino until the 16th century, then to the Marquises Graneris de la Roche until the 18th century, when it passed to the Marquises Compans of Brichanteau Challant, who were linked to the royal family of Savoy. In the 20th century, architect Jean Chevalley was commissioned to restore this charming residence.

The property covers about 2 hectares of land, with an Italian garden and a private, centuries-old forest. The forest offers the possibility of peaceful walks, while a specially equipped riding area is perfect for special events. With its spectacular panoramic views that change with the seasons, the castle turns out to be a true historic gem.
