Who has never dreamed as a child of being able to live in a castle, like in fairy tales? The idea of buying a princely residence may seem extravagant and expensive, but it can turn out to be a smart investment. This is why in Italy you can find several catelli for sale.
Rich in history and dream places, Italy is one of the few countries in the world able to offer this great opportunity at not as excessive costs as one might think.
Luxforsale presents a selection of castles for sale in the main areas of interest, ideal for those who want to retreat to an oasis of peace and silence, away from prying eyes, but also for those looking for the perfect location to open a reception room or a luxury hotel .
WHERE TO BUY A CASTLE?
For example, with a minimum investment of around 500,000 euros, you can buy the imposing Castello dei Berardi, the ancient residence of the feudal lords of San Damiano, Zoardo and Cortignano, in Piedmont. Strategically located a few kilometers from Cuneo, this 1440 fortress dominates the valley with its massive walls and uneven towers. The exterior is in good condition, while the interior is in need of a major renovation, but on the other hand it offers large and evocative rooms, marble columns with the noble coats of arms of successive families, nineteenth-century frescoes and much more, all from to discover.
For a slightly higher amount, you can instead get a luxury castle in Salento, just 3 kilometers from the sea, very close to Agropoli. This structure, with adjoining olive grove, has already been used as a farmhouse, with 6 double bedrooms complete with private bathroom: a real bargain.
In Emilia Romagna, with less than 800,000 euros, you can become the lords of the luxury castle of San Lazzaro di Savena, which offers a splendid view of the city of Bologna and represents a housing solution of great emotional impact. The property is accessed through an ancient door with turrets and high vaulted ceilings, in exposed stone. Finely restored with quality materials, the property is surrounded by original crenellated walls and surrounded by greenery.
For higher figures, from one to three million euros, there are several luxury castles throughout Italy in excellent condition, which do not need major renovations, such as the Castello di Panicale, in Umbria, a prestigious historic residence built on 5 floors overlooking the Trasimeno lake; or like the marvelous Villa Sigmund, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in pure Renaissance style, surrounded by a garden with centuries-old trees and equipped with an annex with an adjoining greenhouse and garage.
In Campania, on the other hand, the sumptuous Castello di Tufino is available, in the province of Naples: 22 rooms, two cellars and several parking spaces, ideal for use as a luxury hotel, or for those who have always dreamed of an immense building in which to host dances and parties for their friends, among ancient original armor, stuccos, frescoes and period paintings.
Completely different, but always corresponding to the fairy-tale imaginary, is the castle of Gressoney - Saint Jean, in Valle d'Aosta, a historic 4-storey building mainly in stone and wood, perfect as a luxury residence in the mountains.
Many and all very interesting are the luxury castles for sale that arise in Tuscany, Umbria, Marche, Sicily, Puglia, Lazio and Emilia Romagna, even worth more than 3 million, such as the fabulous Castle of Ponte Dell'Olio, the Montepulciano Castle and the Arezzo Castle, dating back to the year 802 and perfectly preserved.
Veneto and Lombardy are not lacking: here you can find various solutions that exceed 6 million euros, such as the luxurious Palladian palace of the sixteenth century, near Padua or the castle of Gorle, a national monument of 1200 renovated with ultra-luxury finishes.
Even in Milan it is possible to find a luxury castle: a property of 2825 square meters with attached garden, swimming pool and tennis court.
The Belpaese really offers a wide choice of luxury castles, from the area of interest to the preferred architectural style: there is no region that does not guarantee beauty, art and history and it is worth thinking about it.
