Castello di Pralormo

In the heart of Piedmont, between Turin and Alba, easily reached by motorway, there is the Pralormo Castle, a stronghold of medieval origin dating back to the thirteenth century that boasts, in April, the flowering of over 75,000 tulips and daffodils. The event is celebrated every year with the exhibition Messer Tulipano, involving the whole village of Pralormo.

Reach the Castle will not be difficult for the stranger who just follow the swarm of tulips that adorn the balconies of the charming town throughout the month of April.
From May to November, the Castle and its beautiful park can be visited only on Sundays and public holidays.

Today the Castle is home of the Counts of Pralormo that open the doors of their dwelling to visitors to show the entire feud, from cellar to the spacious kitchens, through the courtly salons, the Minister's study, the living room of music, to move into third floor, custodian of a precious rarity: a collection of miniature trains that the Count of Pralormo, Edward Beraudo, cultivated from 1896 up to the end of his life.
