BORGO DELLA ROCCA

Situated on the summit of a hill, Borgo della Rocca’s charming medieval village winds its way across to a 300 year old park that elegantly graces the mansion house, the old bell tower and the family chapel. Borgo della Rocca, which is approximately 500m above sea level, commands panoramic postcard views across the Po valley all the way to the Alps. By night the entire Po valley lights up providing a splendid backdrop to a dinner ‘au plein air’. To the North you can enjoy the views of Pavia, Milan and Bergamo, to the East Fortunago and the Castle of Montalto and to the South, the Ardivestra valley and the Castle of Montesegale. The dominant position of this estate provides the most breathtaking of views from wherever you happen to be standing in the grounds.
