From March 1st, 2026: New Season and Major Updates to the Tour Route
On Sunday, March 1st, 2026, the Govone Royal Castle reopens to the public. It is one of the Savoy Residences and a UNESCO World Heritage site in the heart of the Langhe and Roero regions.
If you are planning a visit to the Langhe or looking for things to see between Alba, Asti, and Turin, this is the perfect season to discover Govone.
A New Visiting Experience: The Noble Floor Returns to Its Roots as a Residence
The 2026 reopening marks an important milestone in the Castle’s enhancement: the refurnishing of the noble floor.
Thanks to the collaboration with the Fondazione Accorsi-Ometto, the rooms once again dialogue with historical furnishings that allow for a better understanding of daily life at the Castle—first as the home of the Solaro counts and later as a summer residence for the House of Savoy.
No longer just frescoed rooms to admire, but spaces that tell the story of how life was lived in a royal residence between the 18th and 19th centuries.
The new furnishings harmonize perfectly with existing elements of extraordinary value: the Chinese wallpapers, the 19th-century pictorial decorations, and the marbles from the Fountain of Hercules at the Reggia di Venaria.
Visiting the Govone Royal Castle today means enjoying a more complete, immersive, and authentic experience. Yes, even if you’ve seen it before!
