The 10 Best Castles in Province of Cuneo, Piedmont
Cuneo (Italian) or Coni (French and Piedmontese) is a province in the southwest of the Piedmont region of Italy. To the west it borders on the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes). To the north it borders with the Metropolitan City of Turin. To the east it borders with the province of Asti. To the south it borders with the Ligurian provinces of Savona and Imperia. It is also known as La Provincia Granda, Piedmontese for "The Big Province", because it is the fourth largest province in Italy (following the provinces of Sassari, South Tyrol and Foggia) and the largest one in Piedmont. Briga Marittima and Tenda were part of this province before cession to France in 1947.

2. Grinzane Cavour Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,136 reviews
Grinzane Cavour Castle stands in one of the most spectacular settings in the Langa, just 5 km from Alba. The imposing building, erected around a central tower dating back to the first half of the XI century, can be admired in all its original beauty following the restoration that began in 1960, in celebration of the first centenary of the Unification of Italy. The Castle now houses the "Cavour" Regional Enoteca, the first to be set up in Piedmont in 1967. This is a prestigious showcase for the very best Piedmontese wines and grappas, foremost amongst them being Barolo and Barbaresco. The wines undergo a strict selection process before being displayed and placed on sale along with leading local food products. Tastings possible.

"THE" place to eat in Piedmont. Spectacular surrounding landscape, exceptional fine dining and service.
3. Castello della Manta
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 507 reviews
An enchanting castle silhouetted against the backdrop of the Cuneo Alps, first inhabited by Valerano, the Lord of the Marquisate of Saluzzo. Among the medieval era interiors, the salon stands out. A baronial setting where one of the most awe-inspiring examples of 15th century painting is to be found, with mythical heroes dressed as knights and heroines as ladies-of-the-court by the fountain of eternal youth.
4. Castello di Serralunga d'Alba
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 489 reviews
The castle overlooks the town and hits the visitor for his gothic architecture. It's front is made of bricks with little arches. Few the windows, and only at the top. The way in was guarded by a wide ditch, a rolling shutter and a drawbridge. Inside you can see still some fireplaces, wood ceilings and a chapel with frescoes.
Reviewed By exiledblue - Rovellasca, Italy
A beautiful landmark with a passionate guide. Its true there is very little inside, thanks to the Spanish of 1661 but Massimiliano (sorry if I didn't spell it correctly) was so informed and passionate it was a pleasure to hear him talk. Recommended but unfortunately not open all week.
5. Castello di Fossano
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 256 reviews
The Castle of Fossano, built as a defence structure by Philip I of Acaia between 1324 and 1332, was later transformed by the Savoy family in a stately castle. The XVI century loggias host the city library, with more than 150,000 books and an historical archive – with old books, collections and documents – of about 10,000 texts. In the inner court yard and in the ground floor hall cultural activities, meetings, exhibitions and concerts take place. The view of the Monviso and the Alpine chain from the panoramic tower is unique.
