The Berroni Estate, built in 1773 for the nobleman De Laugier as a holiday home, has a typically French inspiration and is endowed with a marvellous park, populated by centuries-old trees and reworked in a romantic key by the landscape architect Giacomo Pregliasco in 1819.
The villa, which was located in isolated countryside, was completely self-sufficient: several rural buildings and a chapel were created. The decoration of the interiors and the antique furnishings were commissioned from numerous artists who were already working within the Royal Castle. The great hall of honour, built on two floors on Borra's idea, and the other elegant rooms (such as the Red Room, the Dining Room, the Gallery, Carlo Alberto's room...) can be visited today under the guidance of the Countess of Castelbarco Visconti.
Today it is also possible to enter the vegetable labyrinth, built at the behest of the Contessa's son in the fields on the edge of the Estate or to taste artisan products at Agri Berroni, a recent family initiative.
