THE UNIQUE STORY, AS TOLD BY THE HOME OWNER Visiting this place is not for a mere tourist trip, but it’s a place that has a history and has remained faithful to it. There is an epigraph on the main façade that was affixed for the passage of Vittorio Emanuele III, who was hosted during the First World War by the Corinaldi counts. The armistice with Austria-Hungary was signed in Padua and the king used the villa as his headquarters during the last months of the First World War. It’s history, its relaxing atmosphere, its wineries and green areas, together with the Castle’s elegance and attention to details make guests feel welcome. Everything is designed to offer guests an exclusive experience from rooms to kitchens and bathrooms safeguarding today's comforts and amenities in a setting that is both elegant and luxurious. With its suggestive swimming pool in a lemon grove, its green areas and its elegant atmosphere the Castle offers experiences that go beyond the mere tourism trip. It is a place that embraces people, a small corner of peace. Quote: "Our family acquired ownership of the estate in 1920. In this marvellous setting, history has been written: the castle dates back to 1150 and even King Victor Emmanuel III passed through here in the closing stages of the First World War.
