The 14th century Castle stands in the small and delightful village of Piozzo, surrounded by the hills of the Langhe. Beautifully preserved and in a dominant position with splendid views over the famous hills that produce the most Italian wines. Over the centuries it underwent various interventions that transformed it into a luxurious home. The noble building is spread over two floors and a basement for a total of 1280 square meters divided into 15 rooms (9 bedrooms) and 3 bathrooms. A magnificent and monumental staircase connects the floors of the building. Close to the Castle there is a farmhouse of 315 square meters. It is on two levels and consists of an apartment with 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, a rumpus room, a parking space, a porch and a barn. The Castle is surrounded by 53400 square meters of land, partly planted with vineyards and partly wooded.

One of the largest and finest stately homes in England is Knole House, located in the Kent countryside not far from London. It has been inhabited by the Sackville family for over 400 years. It has an incredible 365 rooms, 52 staircases and 7 courtyards. A book about Knole House was published in October with photos by Ashley Hicks and I’m thinking I have to add this one to my collection. This home is magnificent in its grandeur and the beautiful antiques and architectural details throughout. And a room for each day…can you even imagine?!

In the historic center of Amelia we offer a perfectly preserved period residence. On the lower floor, mosaics from the Roman era have in fact been discovered and restored, bearing witness to the fact that the Palazzo stands on the foundations of an ancient Domus. Going up one level, you enter the cellars with ceilings covered with barrel vaults, dating back to the Middle Ages. The next two levels are from the Renaissance period and the hall on the main floor with its beautiful frescoes and floors deserves particular mention. The top floor, surmounted by a tower, is from a more modern era.

Why settle for a castle when you can have a palace!!! 16 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and 23,681 sq ft of jaw-dropping architecture. Can you imagine being able to say your home has Roman era tile?!!! I’m dead. Listed @ €2,500,000 via James Edition.
