Castello di Piovera

Set within the verdant landscape of the Alessandria countryside, Castello di Piovera offers a picturesque setting for your wedding, surrounded by nature in a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. Couples may choose from a variety of spaces for both the ceremony, drinks reception, and full celebration. For religious ceremonies, the parish church of San Michele Arcangelo sits opposite the castle, while the Pieve della Madonnina delle Vigne, nestled among vineyards 2km away, provides an alternative. Civil ceremonies with legal validity can be held either in the castle’s internal courtyard or the Reception Hall, which seats up to 100 guests.

The English garden is ideal for aperitifs, though there are also charming indoor spaces such as the castle’s historic cellars. Receptions may take place in the Orangerie, dating from the 1800s and overlooking a beautiful English garden. Inside, the main hall accommodates up to 100 people, while two adjoining rooms host an additional 50 to 70 guests, all beneath a ceiling draped with natural ivy. For larger gatherings, the Antica Officina offers seating for up to 230 and opens directly onto a 20-hectare organic park.

Castello di Piovera provides expert, courteous staff to ensure every detail is attended to. Facilities include climate-controlled and heated indoor areas, comprehensive wedding consultancy, external catering options, guided castle tours for guests, a suite for the newlyweds, and ample parking. The castle, now a museum furnished with period pieces, dates back to the 1300s, built by the Visconti of Milan, and has since passed through Spanish, French, Savoy, and Balbi ownerships. Since 1967, it has been owned by Count Niccolò Calvi di Bergolo, offering guests a unique glimpse into its rich history.
