Castello di San Sebastiano da Po hosts seminars, conferences, team-building days, incentives and weddings, with up to 130 beds for groups who stay overnight. The castle stands in San Sebastiano da Po, a village in the province of Turin in Piedmont, and can be booked in exclusive use for a large event.
Seminars and company events
The castle sells its spaces for congresses, conferences, seminars, work meetings, team building and incentive trips. Meeting rooms are available inside the building, and groups can sleep on site, eat lunch and dinner at the Trattoria della Villa, take a coffee in the castle's old kitchen and use the park and the swimming pool between sessions. That combination suits a residential seminar of two or three days where the group stays together. The site does not publish names or capacities for the meeting rooms, so the team gives them on request.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can marry without leaving the property. A civil ceremony with legal validity can take place in the Galleria, the gallery frescoed by Pietro Bagetti. A religious ceremony can be held in the church of Santi Cassiano e Sebastiano, a Baroque church next to the castle. The whole castle can be reserved exclusively for a large wedding, and the team offers ideas and assistance at every stage of the preparation.
Rooms and capacities
The building offers a range of spaces, from small gatherings to large events. The frescoed Galleria is the main named reception space. The park, with an Italian garden of boxwood and roses, an orchard, a greenhouse and a neoclassical temple, adds outdoor areas for drinks and photos. Capacities for each space are not published.
Accommodation
The castle states up to 130 beds across its rooms, apartments and glamping. The historic Relais rooms are simple and have no television or telephone. Comfort rooms include a private bathroom, breakfast, Wi-Fi and access to the pool. Five apartments, named Biliardo, Terrazzo, Mezzogiorno, Confraternita and Tetto, have their own kitchens. The Tetto, in the attic, is the largest, with two bedrooms, a small third room and a panoramic terrace. A shared garden serves all guests.
Catering
Lunch and dinner for groups are served at the Trattoria della Villa, which has a covered outdoor area and small terraces over the valley. Its signature dish is Fassona beef, the Piedmontese breed.
History and setting
The village belonged to the Marquisate of Monferrato in the Middle Ages and later to the Radicati lords. In 1761 Count Paolo Federico Novarina asked the Baroque architect Bernardo Vittone, who had worked on the neighboring parish church, to remodel the whole castle. In 1810 Napoleon visited, a ginkgo was planted in his honor and the German garden designer Xavier Kurten drew the park. Pietro Bagetti then frescoed the gallery. The park later served the University of Turin's botany department and once held up to 3,000 plant species.
Getting there
The castle is at Via Novarina 9 in San Sebastiano da Po, in the province of Turin. Ask the team about parking and coach access when planning a group arrival.
