Perched amidst the rolling green hills of Oltrepò Pavese, this remarkable medieval tower dates back to the 9th century. It forms part of the remains of a historic castle overlooking the Nizza Valley. Known as the Tower of Casarasco, it is the oldest fortress in the region, steeped in legend: it was here that the miracle of Saint Alberto took place, giving rise to the foundation of the eponymous hermitage, a celebrated example of Lombard Romanesque architecture. In 1903, a meteorite landed close by, now preserved in several natural history museums. The property offers an authentic connection to nature, where foxes and deer roam freely across the grounds.

This tranquil retreat is perfect for those seeking peace and privacy, yet it remains conveniently accessible: just one hour from Milan, 40 minutes from Pavia, one hour from Genoa, 30 minutes from Voghera, and a short 15-minute drive from Varzi, one of Italy’s most enchanting medieval villages.

The estate comprises a residence attached to the tower, featuring a panoramic terrace with sweeping views of the surrounding wooded hills and mountains, along with a generous veranda ideal for entertaining guests or hosting al fresco dining. An old barn, fully refurbished, provides practical storage space. The property sits within a large garden and encompasses 2.5 hectares of land and woodland. On the grounds are two young olive groves and three vegetable plots, including a fully enclosed 5,000 m² garden.

Renovated with natural materials and timber, and free from chemical treatments, the property exudes warmth, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere. Access to the tower passes through picturesque hamlets of the Val di Nizza, a valley renowned for its exceptional agricultural produce. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy extensive hiking and trekking opportunities, while food lovers can explore a rich culinary heritage.

All essential amenities are just five minutes away.
