Multi-family villa Strada delle Vigne 5, Montalto Dora

On top of Monte Crovero above the Lakes of Ivrea, the Castle of Montalto Dora dominates the surrounding valleys with its imposing silhouette. The building (over 2,000 sqm) revolves around a paved courtyard ideal for events and ceremonies, and includes 11 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and a beautiful 15th-century chapel. The land around (6.6 ha) is home to a secondary keep and a cascina.
The town of Montalto Dora is just 2 km from the Castle and offers all the necessary services. Other historic cities of northern Italy and renowned ski locations can all be reached in less than two hours.
The castle is embedded in a breathtaking context: the Canavese is indeed a unicum when considering its environmental and geological peculiarities, since it bears the traces of ancient glaciations in the form of the famous Serra d’Ivrea and the five lakes (including Sirio, Nero and Pistono where one can swim). Because of these unique features, the area has been listed as a site of community importance by the EU.

The castle, thanks to its excellent preservation, is the perfect background for events, weddings, conferences and business meetings. In the past, the castle has also been used as a shooting location for movies, among which the 2006 TV series The Black Arrow, an Italian production inspired by Robert L. Stevenson’s novel.
Another possible alternative is converting the castle into a luxury boutique hotel, perhaps converting some of the huge halls on the ground floor into a restaurant and/or breakfast room while keeping the bedrooms upstairs.
