A restored 18th-century farmhouse, using original materials, surrounded by meadows and woods just 25 km from Turin. An ideal place to start exploring the city, with the Mole Antonelliana and the Museum of Cinema, the Savoy residences, and the Egyptian Museum. Nearby, you can find the Reggia di Venaria, the Rivoli Castle with the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Sacra di San Michele, and the Avigliana Lakes Park.
Cascina Paraccia has been open to the public since 2006, during the Winter Olympic Games in Turin. Franca inherited the farmhouse from her father, along with a passion for the countryside and a lifestyle in harmony with nature. The day is marked by taking care of the garden, vegetable patch, and orchard, from which high-quality organic products are obtained. Guest comfort and well-being are a priority, with respectful and discreet attention. We offer three rooms with different features, suitable for all needs.

Surrounded by meadows and woods, Cascina Paraccia is located on the morainic hill of Villarbasse, just 12 km from Turin. Villarbasse is a small town with aspects of great historical, geological, and environmental interest. Evidence of this can be observed in some remarkable historical buildings and in the Pleistocene erratic boulders that stand out in the plain towards Rivoli.
A few kilometers away, there are destinations of remarkable artistic and scenic interest, including: the Natural Park of the Avigliana Lakes, with the nearby art city of Avigliana and its enchanting historic center; Rivoli, a charming city, a lively cultural and artistic center with the famous Museum of Contemporary Art housed in the imposing Savoy Castle; the Abbey of S. Antonio di Ranverso, the Sacred Abbey of San Michele, one of the largest architectural complexes in Romanesque Europe, built between 983 and 987.
During the winter season, the location is also strategic for reaching the ski resorts of the high Val di Susa (Bardonecchia, Claviére, Oulx, Monginevro) in just 45 minutes by car, the site of the 2006 Winter Olympics.
With the modern metro (Collegno-Lingotto), you can quickly reach the center of Turin with its countless tourist and cultural attractions. Cascina Paraccia is 25 km from Caselle Airport, 10 km from Avigliana train station, and 6 km from the nearest highway exit (Tangenziale Sud, Rivoli-IV Novembre).
