Some of these buildings have been radically renovated and restored, in particular the Reggia di Venaria, in which the extraordinary, recently restored “Galleria di Diana” can now be visited.

Day 2 This day is devoted to some of the Savoia residences located mainly in Turin and the surrounding area. These are true works of art which are even on the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. These palaces are of striking beauty and have a particularly wide variety of decorations. The architectural style is a mixture of Mannerism and the triumphant Piedmont Baroque. Feel like a king and take a stroll through magnificent chambers, finely laid out gardens and pompously decorated galleries.
Day 3 After breakfast, the first stop is in the Barolo region, where counts and the higher nobility of the time built their castles, shaping the romantic image of the world famous vineyards until this day. A wine-tasting session is an absolute must, and will naturally include the king of Piedmont wines, Barolo.
