Reggia of Venaria Turin!
Imagine stepping back in time to the 17th century, when Duke Carlo Emanuele II of Savoy decided to build this grand residence as a hunting and leisure lodge for his court. The Reggia di Venaria, located just a few kilometers from the center of Turin, is a true masterpiece of Baroque architecture, designed by architect Amedeo di Castellamonte.
When you arrive at the Reggia of Venaria Turin, the first thing that strikes you is the grandeur of the structure. The main facade, with its elegant play of light and shadow, and the magnificent Italian gardens that stretch for hectares, immediately make you realize that you are in the presence of something extraordinary and unique!
One of the most thrilling experiences is walking through the Galleria Grande, a long corridor adorned with splendid decorations, stuccos, and frescoes that tell the story of the Savoy dynasty. As you walk through this monumental space, you can almost hear the echo of the footsteps of the nobles who once strolled here, immersed in their thoughts and conversations.
The first time I entered this immense corridor, I got goosebumps! Its majesty and beauty literally leave you speechless. It's a feeling I will never forget!
Another advice I want to give you is to dedicate some time to the gardens; a true green paradise where you can stroll among fountains, flower beds, and hedge mazes. There is something extremely relaxing about getting lost among the tree-lined paths, admiring the grandeur of the landscape and the tranquility it offers. The gardens of Venaria have been carefully restored to recreate the original atmosphere of the Savoy era, and they represent a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
If you love art and history, you cannot miss the Sala di Diana, with its magnificent frescoes and decorations that celebrate the goddess of the hunt, symbolizing court life at Venaria. Every room in the palace tells a different story, making the visit a fascinating journey through the glories and ambitions of one of Europe's most important royal families!
Finally, before concluding your visit, I suggest stopping by the palace cafรฉ. Here you can enjoy a good Italian coffee or artisanal gelato, taking in the view of the gardens and reflecting on everything you have seen!
The properties I will list are all very similar to each other; each with unique features that make them special, and one thing in common; they are all just a few meters from the Reggia of Venaria Turin! So, personally, I wouldn't be able to recommend just one, I would stay at all of them!
It's up to your personal taste to choose, and I would be very happy to help you with that!๐
