Description

Built in the 12th century as a military outpost to protect Valle Olona and Contado del Seprio and later abandoned after the destruction of Castelseprio by the Visconti of Milan in 1287, Il Castello, lost its military vocation, was used as a residence and expanded over the centuries. A residence that embodies the essence of medieval charm transformed into an elegant residence whose mighty walls, built over nine centuries ago to defend the honours of ancient lords, today welcome guests in an atmosphere of refined opulence. This elegant villa, resting gently on the top of the hill, is surrounded by the privacy of the more than 30,000 square meters of private park inside which are located the tennis court and the swimming pool. At first glance, the Castle appears as a well-preserved jewel of the past, with imposing towers rising proudly towards the sky, creating a suggestive profile against the horizon. The distinctive pointed windows allow light to filter gently, illuminating coffered ceilings and intricate architectural details. The wooden and stone floors alternate elegantly between the spacious lounges and intimate rooms, transporting guests to the more than 1,100 square meters, from the peculiar cellars with cross vaults to the vast terrace overlooking the park. In this house with a fairytale atmosphere, past and present blend harmoniously, creating a unique and unforgettable environment that enchants the senses and nourishes the soul. The Castle is much more than a residence, it is a real historical treasure waiting to be discovered and appreciated by those who will recognize and enhance its timeless beauty.
