Charming, well kept. It would be nice if there were more events

Sin! It could be used better, in a state of disrepair. The employees? I don't know!

The castle, or rather a fortified residence, is nice and the reception staff is very kind. It is a small structure with watchtowers detached from the housing unit. If it had period furniture inside it would be more interesting. It's still worth a stop if you're nearby. Open only in the morning, except Wednesdays

Very nice, with a splendid view of the Milazzo peninsula and the Aeolian Islands. It lends itself to various events especially in the cultural field. It should be used more

Bauso Castle is a fortified building located in Villafranca Tirrena in the province of Messina. Exhibitions are hosted inside. The garden needs some maintenance.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
