Your Italian village for deep work and deeper connections

The Village

It is not just a venue, it’s a castle. And it is not simply a castle but a village that you can take over fully or just rent parts of with your team. Forget board rooms with flickering lights and discover a unique campus with lots of spaces ready to inspire.
Get lost in this beautiful maze: the various buildings are scattered around a historic village, on top of a hill with wonderful views of the Alps. This unique structure can host up to 250 people.
Be inspired by one of Europe's most stunning locations for retreats and offsites. We have a lot of space for hosting purposeful company retreats and leadership offsites, team workations, network events, team building days or anything else you envision.

Rooms

The village offers several options from private bedrooms to shared as well as apartments. Each of these spaces offers comfort and well-being in simplicity. Each room is unique and might be decorated with frescoes ceilings, antique mirrors, fireplaces or wooden furnishings, giving you a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Most of our rooms have en suite bathrooms; in some of them, they are shared between two rooms and a living room. Depending on the size of your team, you can rent all or just some neighborhoods of the village.

Food

No one goes to Italy without amazing food in the back of their heads. At the heart of our village lies the traditional italian trattoria offering delicacies from local suppliers. And if you want to have your own cooking session with your team, the old kitchen of the castle is the perfect place for that.

Meeting spaces

The Village is place to do business, cross-pollinate talents, create opportunities, and share skills.
Inside, outside and in between, the castle offers a wide range of options. We have various beautiful workshop rooms and conference halls for sessions like strategy planing, design sprints, training/coaching.
Group sizes from 6 up to 300 people can easily be accommodated in historical rooms with all the technical equipment you need for running professional sessions. And we also encourage all groups to make full use of our beautiful venue from the gardens to the roof tops for their gatherings.

Activities

It all depends on your team's goals but being bored is not on option at The Workation Village. From morning yoga to wine tasting and evening campfires, we can make it all happen within the walls of the village. And if you are even more curious, you have one of Italy's most beautiful regions at the doorstep to discover.

History

The origins date back to the 10th century, and in the second half of the 18th century, Bernardo Antonio Vittone renovated the entire complex. The Piedmontese architect reworked the ancient medieval structure, inserting late Baroque and Neoclassical elements, which in some places still reveal traces of the 15th century. The park, designed in 1810 by Xavier Kurten, was a field of study for the Faculty of Botany of the University of Turin.
The highlight of any event at The Workation Village is a historical tour by Luca Garrone, architect, and owner since the 80s, who still lives on site with his family and has spent years lovingly renovating the village. Brick by brick, he knew where to make something new and where to leave the old imperfect charme as it is.
