Best Castle in Italia

G	Giovanni Vajna de Pava on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful castle, well kept and the guides are very knowledgeable. Watch out for Google's driving directions, as they are inaccurate
O	Oleg Naumov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Splendid Castle or in fact fortified manor house. You are going to find splendid Baronial Hall with the frescoes painted in 1420. This is another must see place at Saluzzo. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light and tripod.
C	Corinna on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice guided tour of part of the castle. Guide was professional and knowledgeable. At the end there is a gift shop. We bought marmalade and peppermint liquor.
T	Tammy Bonafede on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This castle definitely worth a visit,the tour is not that long,they have audio guide, ( you'll go on your own ) , the castle has a small garden at the front, wonderful frescoes still intact, they were restoring some areas when we visited the place.
J	Jonathan Jong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We walked from Saluzzo to San Cristina, and the Castello proved a worthwhile detour. It’s one of several grand old houses in this part of Piedmont, and probably my favourite among the ones we visited. The frescos were particularly fascinating, and well preserved.
I	IridiumRose on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a very good reason that this castle is so highly regarded for its frescoes. They are stunning!
x	xiaokera kera on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a very attractive castle, mix of structures from different times which could still be observed by the split on the wall and the thickness of different wall. Very impressive on the semi fresh paint on 600th hall that rarely seen in the wall. The restrictions undergoing demonstrate how the architectors had thought to use painting in marble effect instead of using real marble, because the lower part where there was kitchen had the colonum too week to hold heavy marble.... Worth to take a visit the garden and the church next to it too.
S	Siegfried B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A hidden gem in Piemonte. The castle Castello della Manta is a wonderful little castle near Cuneo (about half an hour drive). The castle is a beautiful building atop a hill over the small comune of Manta next to the city of Salluzo. The eldest parts date back to the 13th century, but various inhabitants have added spaces. It has a cute court yard, an impressive kitchen, a spacious gallery and salon, a nice library… The most impressive room is the grand hall with an incredible sequence of medieval fresco’s depicting nine worthy kings and nine worthy women leaders, together with a fountain of youth setting, an astounding gem in non-religious early 15th century art, in very good condition. This wall art by itself already makes the trip worth the effort for anyone appreciating medieval art and culture. The castle has a small church with impressive frescoes as well. The castle stands within a beautiful garden. You can ride up and park very near the entrance, or park further down and walk up. The staff is very friendly and you can buy drinks to. There is a small gift shop. I recommend this for anyone who is near Cuneo and looking for an interesting, cultural outing. Best to make a reservation.
