13th Century Castle

€600,000

This remarkable 13th-century castle sits high on a rocky ridge above the Scrivia River, commanding sweeping views across the Ligurian hills. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, it features a classic square plan with two circular watchtowers, standing as a timeless symbol of the region’s feudal past and enduring beauty.

With around 900 square metres of interior space arranged over three floors, the castle offers a generous and flexible layout that includes seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, three living rooms and a large kitchen. The interiors retain their historic charm, blending thick stone walls and vaulted ceilings with the scale and grandeur of a noble residence.

Outside, there is a private garden and patio area of about 1,000 square metres, ideal for outdoor gatherings, and a further 1,000 square metres of parking space, including two secure indoor parking spots. The setting is peaceful yet well connected — Genoa is just 35 kilometres away, Milan 110 kilometres, and the coast at Portofino and Camogli within easy reach.

Liguria’s unique landscape, nestled between sea and mountains, creates an enchanting atmosphere of colour, history and light. Carefully restored with the support of the Liguria Region and Province of Genoa, the property now forms part of the local cultural heritage and houses part of the Archaeological Museum of the Alta Valle Scrivia.

This extraordinary property combines architectural significance with rare beauty, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of Italian history — a place where the past meets the possibilities of today.
