The castle and convent evoke a glorious past, but also offer tranquil havens between the countryside and the sea. Today, these splendid properties are enjoying a second youth.
Carratelli has a selection of castles, monasteries, and convents for sale in Italy's main tourist destinations. These oases of peace and tranquility are ideal for those seeking a secluded retreat, but also for those seeking the perfect location for a reception hall or luxury hotel.
Italy is full of castles, convents, and monasteries: from the Aosta Valley to Sicily, residences of monks, friars, and nuns belonging to the regular orders have, since the Middle Ages, constituted the fabric of hospitality for wayfarers even before the emergence of hotels and accommodation centers of various kinds. Many of these structures, including castles, are for sale for a variety of reasons and are ideal for creating accommodations of any level.
Perched on majestic mountains; immersed in breathtaking natural settings or lapped by the waves of the sea, these diverse and beautiful buildings tell distant stories bordering reality and fantasy, populated by characters more or less famous and more or less real. They are evocative buildings, sometimes built for defensive purposes and sometimes for spiritual ones; both solutions are highly evocative and in some cases even rich in hidden symbolism. Castles most likely originated as extensions of towers, which were massive, isolated structures, usually located in strategic locations. Indeed, precisely because they were built on a hill, the castle could control a vast territory so that enemies could be spotted from afar. Inside, life teemed, well protected by mighty walls. The same is true for abbeys and convents; they were and are fortified structures to prevent raids of any kind. There are two types:
Monasteries also took on similar characteristics depending on the order they followed; however, there are common artistic forms throughout Europe.
