Roero Park Family Tour
Through the Parco Roero Family Tour, the children’s tours which also appeals to adults, dedicated to families, you will visit theElegant park created by Savoy landscape architect Xavier Kurten and the subject of the project “The Park of the Castle of Monticello d’Alba: Enhancement and enjoyment of a place that has been a symbol of Roero for seven centuries” funded by the PNNR call for proposals “Programs to enhance the identity of places: Historic parks and gardens.”
The magical pond, the centuries-old linden trees, the legend of Clare’s ghost, the charming Roero family dog cemetery… and much more!
Too bad the guidebook is a bit forgetful and often forgets where certain details are.
And so all participants will be given a special map, a game kit to help the guide find hidden architectural and botanical details in the park: will you be able to help her find them?
In return for the help a sweet surprise to all children to celebrate Easter Monday!
In case of bad weather, the Parco Roero Family Tour format will be repurposed for the castle interior.
