A majestic castle of refined beauty, visible only from the outside. The house next to it has an interesting Mediterranean feel, it's a shame that it is in a state of abandonment and closed. The town is cute and particular, with some homes of refined and original taste. The walkway on the external walls is beautiful. There are many architectural points of interest, it's a shame that there are almost no activities in the village, it deserves much more to honor the historical importance it has experienced and to enhance the sense of the village.

Very, very beautiful... shame that the people who live there are quite old but very clean, tidy and full of history.

I had never been there and I only knew it because I was from the province of Alessandria. I must honestly say that it is a wonderful location for weddings and other events. The structure and its parks are already a gem that with a few flowers added for the event I attended, gave a splendor that I never expected. I can safely give a 10 rating in everything including the service. I highly recommend it even if I'm not biased. Congratulations to all.

The location deserves 5 stars and deserves a property worthy of the place. Unfortunately, I was able to see that impropriety and rudeness are part of the owner's baggage. The wedding of our son, planned for two years, had an unworthy ending with a call from the police from an elusive resident who had complained. In the end it was understood that they had probably been called by the lady and her husband. Stupid move because the music had stopped half an hour earlier when with arrogance and rudeness the "castellana" had interrupted the party that was taking place in a correct and polite manner, given the education and the very high level of the guests. To put an end to the antics, as the father of the groom, I assumed responsibility for everything and handed my documents over to the Carabinieri and made myself available to them. An unworthy ending given the conditions promised by the owner two years in advance and changed three days before the event, after having received the balance from me. Stay away from this arrogant, rude and unfair person. Shame !

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
