Residenza D'epoca: Palazzo Paleologi Resort 

In General

At one hour from Milan, Turin and Genoa and a half-hour from Alessandria, Casale Monferrato,  and Valenza, Asti and Alba, the rooms and vacation apartments, the Palazzo Paleologi restaurant, were designed to recreate the historical dwelling of Monferrato with a careful renovation designed in collaboration with the Office of Monuments and Fine Arts in Turin.

Completed with the utmost care, the historical residence has kept intact the original typologies and materials as much as possible, thanks to the use of methodologies attentive to the environment and to the well-being of the guests.
