Living on the hills of Turin: where refinement meets nature

Turin, a city of art and culture, reveals a different facet when one escapes the urban bustle to explore its surrounding hills. Here, time seems to slow, and daily life blends seamlessly with the beauty of the landscape. Between panoramic views of the city and distant mountains, the San Vito hills offer a unique setting where architectural elegance meets the tranquility of nature.

Living on these heights means embracing a lifestyle in constant dialogue with light and greenery. The residences here, often historic, are designed to provide generous, luminous, and peaceful spaces, perfect for a prestigious private home or a refined family retreat.

A prime example of this lifestyle is an exceptional villa perched on the San Vito hillside, just ten minutes from central Turin. Set within more than three and a half hectares of private parkland, the property combines historic charm with understated architectural refinement. Bright, expansive spaces create a serene atmosphere, ideal for modern living. The park, designed by renowned English landscape architect Russell Page, is a true masterpiece, guiding the eye through intimate corners and scenic openings to the rolling hills. Every section of the garden is conceived as living poetry, with each path and view telling its own story.

Among the estate’s treasures, the belvedere stands out: an exclusive, secluded vantage point offering breathtaking views over the city and mountains, a perfect place to commune with nature in complete privacy. The historic greenhouses, awaiting restoration, hold extraordinary potential to become a botanical workshop, winter garden, or inspirational creative space.

The main villa spans approximately 1,260 sqm and is complemented by a second residence of 420 sqm, ideal for hosting guests. A third residence, 293 sqm over two levels with its own garage, can serve as a secondary dwelling or staff accommodation. The property also includes a caretaker’s house, service and technical areas, and a garage exceeding 400 sqm.

With a history of hosting distinguished figures from the international cultural scene, this villa embodies Turin’s refined and cosmopolitan spirit. Key destinations are easily accessible: Turin Caselle Airport is 30 minutes away, Milan in 1 hour 40 minutes, Milan Malpensa Airport in 90 minutes, while the Langhe and Monferrato regions are just over an hour’s drive. The French border can be reached in approximately 90 minutes.

For connoisseurs of architecture, history, and nature, living on the hills of Turin is an invitation to savor each day the beauty, serenity, and elegance that this remarkable city and its surroundings have to offer.
