Al Castello Resort is a 4-star hotel set in the Novara countryside, housed in an 18th-century manor in Sillavengo, Piedmont. The property preserves the rural charm of the historic building and combines it with spacious areas, ideal for relaxed stays away from city traffic yet close to the main transport routes.
The rooms, divided into Standard, Superior, Quadruple, Deluxe and Junior Suite types, offer air conditioning, satellite TV with international channels, minibar and a private bathroom with courtesy set; the higher categories add a bathtub, balcony or even a sauna, while the suites feature a living area separate from the sleeping area. The in-house restaurant Hibou Bistrot showcases local specialities and is praised by guests as one of the property’s strengths.
Shared facilities include a swimming pool, a wellness area with sauna and massages, free bicycles and ample private parking at no extra cost. Al Castello Resort is about a 30-minute drive from Fiera Milano and Malpensa Airport, with the Biandrate exit on the A4 motorway just 4 km away, making it a practical base for exploring eastern Piedmont and nearby Lombardy.
Al Castello Resort offers seven room types, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, minibar and soundproofed walls. It starts with the 25 sqm Standard Double Room, the most compact, moving up to the 30 sqm Superior with more spacious interiors, and up to the Triple and Quadruple rooms designed for families or small groups thanks to single beds paired with extra-large double beds.
The Deluxe Room, the largest among the classic rooms at 60 sqm, is the only one fitted with a bathtub in addition to the shower. The two Junior Suites, featuring a living area separate from the sleeping area, stand out for exclusive details: the one with a balcony overlooks the pool and garden, while the one with a private sauna offers an extra moment of relaxation within the accommodation itself.
Overlooking the inner courtyard, the Triple Room is among the largest in the range at 40 sqm. It features elegant furnishings, a private patio, satellite TV and free WiFi, plus a coffee machine and minibar for guests staying in three.

Al Castello Resort is located in Sillavengo, a small rural village in the province of Novara, within an 18th-century estate surrounded by the Piedmont countryside, amid rice paddies and tree-lined rows. The setting is typical of the lower Novara area, quiet and agricultural, away from traffic yet just minutes from the main towns nearby such as Carpignano Sesia and Biandrate.
Sillavengo railway station is just 450 metres from the property, while Carpignano Sesia station is about 1.6 km away, useful for those travelling without a car. By car, the Biandrate exit on the A4 Turin-Milan motorway is only 4 km away, and in about half an hour you can reach both Fiera Milano and Malpensa Airport, 23 km away. Within a few kilometres you’ll also find Castellazzo Novarese Castle, 4 km away, and the Rocca Viscontea Sforzesca, 4.1 km away, both examples of the fortified architecture that characterises the Novara area.
For those wanting to explore the area, the countryside around Sillavengo is well suited to walks and bike rides among the rice paddies, while history lovers can also visit the Santuario Madonna del Latte, about 12 km away. In winter the area offers the quiet, misty landscape typical of the Po Valley, ideal for relaxing stays; in spring and summer, on the other hand, the flooded rice paddies create striking views, and the proximity to Milan makes the area a convenient base for day trips to the Lombard capital as well.
Guests particularly praise the staff, rated 9.1, and the comfort of the rooms, appreciated with 8.7. Cleanliness and free WiFi also receive good ratings, above 8.5. Value for money and location remain the most critical points, with scores around 7.8-7.9, still within the positive range.
