This medieval castle stands in Niella Tanaro, in southern Piedmont, where the Langhe hills meet the Monregalese around Mondovì. Expedia lists it as a castle stay with five bathrooms, a kitchen, a garden and a welcome for pets. Wikipedia mentions a castle in the village that was probably built between 1125 and 1160, though the listing does not name its building.
This is a castle stay without hotel services. Expedia lists a medieval castle with five bathrooms, a kitchen with hob, oven, dishwasher and fridge, a washing machine and a TV with cable and satellite channels. The rooms are rustic, with stone walls, timber-beamed ceilings, wooden beds and, in one room, a balcony with a view.
Outside there is a garden and parking on site. Bed linen and towels are provided, the bathrooms have showers and hairdryers, there is central heating, and Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Pets are allowed, which is not a given in a castle, and the property is non-smoking.
The listing is new on Expedia and has no guest reviews yet. It does not name the building: Wikipedia mentions one castle in Niella Tanaro, probably built between 1125 and 1160, and the location fits, but this page cannot confirm that it is the same one.
According to Italian Wikipedia, the castle of Niella Tanaro was probably built between 1125 and 1160 under the protection of the Marquisate of Ceva. Its first known picture is a print of 1852 by Francesco Gonin, and in 1807 the counts Coardi di Carpeneto sold it together with its dependencies. Nothing more is said there about the building, and the Expedia listing gives no further history.
The area around it is rich in medieval and Baroque heritage: the frescoes of San Fiorenzo, the sanctuary of Vicoforte, the old town of Mondovì and the marquisate town of Ceva are all within about ten kilometres.
The details below come from the Expedia listing (as of 14 Oct 2026); what is available may vary, so check the listing before you book.
Niella Tanaro is a small municipality in the province of Cuneo, about 70 km south of Turin and about 30 km east of Cuneo. The castle is listed in the hamlet of Borgo. The village lies in the valley of the Tanaro, where the hills of the Langhe rise to the east and the Alps open to the south and west. The A6 Turin–Savona motorway has an exit near the village.
Expedia lists the sanctuary of Vicoforte, the Bricco del Cucù, the Cantina del Bricchetto, the Fiera del Bue Grasso, the Mondovicino outlet village, the Crava-Morozzo nature reserve and the Langhe Safari Park among the nearby sights, and notes the area for walking and cycling. Mondovì, with its funicular and old town on the hill, is the nearest town of size.
Restaurants and cafés listed by Expedia are 10 to 12 minutes away by car, and Lesegno station is 10 minutes away. A car is the practical way to explore.
