Description
In the green setting of the Ligurian Apennines, a stone's throw from the sea, there is this ancient manor, with a square plan with two watchtowers, built between the 12th and 14th centuries by the Spinola Family.
The ancient building stands on a cliff, within a loop of the Vobbia creek, on the edge of the village and surrounded by greenery. The building enjoys good privacy but is not in an isolated position.
It is a very prestigious home used in the past for weddings and events, as well as for habitual residence.
From double driveway you reach the first garden of the castle which shows the defense pit of the manor and the drawway bridge that lead into the internal courtyard.
Before crossing the drawway bridge, you can see the private church overlooking the garden. It is a consecrated chapel, completely restored and with the original flooring and altar of that period.
Overlooking the drawbridge we are in an internal courtyard bordered by the walls of fenced around the round watchtowers. From the courtyard, entirely paved with fishburning terracotta, there is access to a large and comfortable stone staircase that leads to the loggia of the first floor. These outdoor / interior spaces are very charming and bring back to distant ages where time was characterized by slow rhythms.
From the loggia there is access to the rooms on the first floor where there is a succession of bedrooms, living rooms and sitting rooms with frescoed ceilings. Among these, the most charming is the Frescoes Hall: a large room with English windows whose ceiling is painted in blue China as a starred sky and brings back the faces of the characters of the Spinola Family, original owners of the Castle.
On the second floor, another very charming environment is the rustic-style living room with the large fireplace and the old hunting trophies.
From this floor there is access to the two watchtowers with three windows, each.
Another environment worthy of note is the Salone dell'Artura, located on the ground floor and on two levels, which is accessed, via access to adjacent sitting rooms, to the garden of the Gazebo where a pine and a fountain surround.
The castle is equipped with external lighting, partially the fixtures have been replaced and the roof of the main building, in pairs, is in good condition, with steady-circular irons and steady-snow irons.
The heating is by pellet and LPG.
The sale proposal includes the included furnishings.
Given its historical importance and the state of conservation of many original building details, the dwelling is subject to protection; the sale is offered with the furnishings present.
We are available for visits even on weekends, by agreement.
