Savoia Castle

Queen Margherita's mansion with Monte Rosa view

By: Gressoney Monterosa

Gressoney Castello

The most fairytale-like residence in the whole Valle D'Aosta region, the one built starting in 1899 at the behest of Queen Margherita.

Interweaving of Art Noveau and Neo-Gothic is located in Gressoney-Saint-Jean in a panoramic position in a park which also houses a botanical garden, perfect for relaxing summer walks and enchanting winter snowshoe hikes.

Castel Savoia, in whose design phases the royal actively participated, is characterized by an eclectic style, the wooden ceilings and decorations show symbols that are the distinctive features of the family, as well as the numerous carved daisies, a clear tribute to the royal. As soon as you cross the entrance threshold, the majestic oak staircase contributes together with the numerous windows to making the environment welcoming. While on the one hand the furnishings evoke a bygone era, on the other some details such as the presence of radiators and electricity underline how avant-garde this home was. A walk, called "della Regina" connects Castel Savoia to Lake Gover during which the visitor is completely immersed in nature, the same nature that led Margherita di Savoia to love this area so deeply.

Location of numerous film productions affected by the fantasy atmosphere that the castle evokes.
