Bâtiment Historique du Monferrato

Palazzo Bottino, an Italian residence with panoramic gardens in the heart of the Monferrato Asti area

Palazzo Bottino stands in Cocconato, nestled in the elegant tranquility of the Tuffo hamlet: a historic residence of rare beauty, an authentic expression of Italian architectural heritage. The property presents itself as a noble residence immersed in a captivating landscape.

Spread over three floors, the interiors still retain original decorative and architectural elements of considerable value. The expertly restored antique doors, the wooden window frames, the large windows on the ground floor of the right wing, and the frescoes with floral and mythological motifs testify to the quality of the residence and the care with which its most authentic features have been preserved over time.
The layout of the spaces recalls the typical layout of eighteenth-century historic homes, with rooms arranged in enfilades, interconnected in a fluid and scenic sequence. Some ancient entrances, now hidden but still recoverable, reveal a now rare concept of living, featuring private passageways, internal perspectives, and spaces designed to communicate with each other.
Although conceived as a single unit, the home also offers remarkable living flexibility: on the second floor, there is a separate apartment, ideal for ensuring independence and privacy for guests, family, or staff, without altering the property’s unity and character.

Six fireplaces, four stoves, and a brick pizza oven in the ground-floor kitchen further enhance the charm of the interiors: elements that convey the most authentic sense of a historic Italian home, characterized by conviviality, warmth, and domesticity. These details not only enhance the residence’s charm, but also reinforce its vocation to welcome, represent, and fully experience the spaces.

A romantic garden welcomes visitors, where greenery is not merely an ornament, but an integral part of the home’s narrative. The first glance is met by a heart-shaped lawn, a symbol of the property’s poetic character. The external path then continues toward the Italian garden, orderly, rational, and geometric, where nature is composed according to a harmonious and measured design. Here lies the home’s treasure: a truffle ground for the exclusive use of the property. From here, the view opens onto the Asti hills and the rolling Monferrato landscape, in a natural continuity between architecture, garden, and panorama.
Palazzo Bottino is a property designed for those seeking something more than a home: a prestigious residence, a place of memory, a property with a strong identity capable of embracing a new vision.

A property of particular value, where value lies not only in the surfaces, but in the history, atmosphere, and unrepeatable beauty that only certain Italian residences still preserve.
