Castello di Massazza, in the province of Biella in Piedmont, is offered for workshops, team-building days, weddings and private parties. The official site states an indoor capacity of 250 guests at a buffet or 190 seated, and describes the castle as an exclusive location. This page sets out what an organizer can plan here, between Turin and Milan.
Seminars and company events
The castle presents itself as a location for workshops and team building, and it has a dedicated team-building page. Companies can use the halls for a working day and the grounds for group activities. The site mentions halls, a large kitchen and an outdoor theater with good acoustics, which suit presentations and a staged group event. The site does not list meeting equipment, so ask about projection, sound and room layout when you send your request.
Weddings and receptions
The castle hosts weddings, christenings, 18th birthdays, graduation parties and other private celebrations. Civil ceremonies are valid on site. Couples who want a religious service can choose among three churches linked to the offer, including the chapel dedicated to Sant'Antonino and Sant'Anna, which has a Romanesque apse and 14th-century frescoes. The family that owns the castle runs the events itself.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives one capacity figure for the indoor space: 250 guests at a buffet or 190 seated at tables. It does not name individual rooms. Outdoor areas, including the open-air theater, extend the space in good weather, but no figure is given for them. Visits for groups of three or more last about one hour and need to be booked.
Catering
The site mentions selected banqueting services and a large kitchen on the premises. It does not name a caterer or describe menus. Confirm whether you must use one of the selected providers and what the kitchen can be used for.
History and setting
The castle stands on a hilltop spur in the Baraggia, between Turin and Milan. The site traces a settlement here from Celto-Ligurian and Roman times, a fortified village around the year 1000, and ownership by the Guala family in the 1200s, the Visconti of Milan in the 1300s and the Avogadro family from the 1400s to the 1800s. The Cavallari family has owned it since 1978, restored it as a residence and opened part of it for events, exhibitions and fairs. Visitors see a tall tower of rough stone blocks, a Visconti-era small fortress with Ghibelline merlons and mullioned windows.
