Visiting PurpleRyta is a must do for anyone who wants a great Barolo experience. Ryta is not only passionate about her art but also wine and the local area. Visit her studio in the heart of Barolo to see how her wine on paper art come to life. Her paintings are so much fun!! Every time we walk by ours shown here we remember the awesome time we had while we plan our next return. Ryta will also be sure you enjoy the Barolo experience by pointing you to other gems in and around the local area.

In 1670 Count Vitaliano Borromeo decided to turn a rock awash in the middle of the lake into a “place of delights”. It took four centuries to complete this magnificent work that includes Palazzo Borromeo and its scenic gardens. The tour of the house is fascinating: the Throne and Queens rooms, the Napoleon's Room, the Gallery of General Berthier displaying a collection of 130 paintings. On a lower floor, six grottoes covered with pebbles, tufa rock, stucco and marble were designed to afford cool relief from summer heat. World famous, its baroque garden, with the Teatro Massimo at the centre, consists of ten terraces in the shape of a truncated pyramid. Visitors marvel at the sight of the monumental unicorn, the obelisks, the statues, the two towers and other architectural elements, as well as the mighty trees, like the camphor and citrus trees, and the collections of roses, rhododendrons and camellias.

We went at the end of august in the late afternoon. The boat trip is less than 10 minutes and already from the water, you can enjoy the beauty of the Isola Bella ( The Beautiful Island). The entry is €17 per person and you have to go through the Palazzo first before getting into the Garden. Isola Bella’s palazzo is like a baroque chest of wonders floating on the water. You will walk through beautifully furnished halls that afford incredible views of the lake and witness many renowned artists’ exclusive paintings, precious furniture, marbles, neo-classical stuccos, shining armors and Flemish tapestries made of silk and gold. The Italian garden with a baroque taste spreads on parterres and terraces placed at different heights and sprinkled with statues, obelisks, ageless stone stairs and balustrades. This results in an impressive view, displaying the power and magnificence of the noble house. Take your time and enjoy being sound rounded by the incredible beauty of Isola bella

This was the motto of royal house from the early 20th century, created by Queen Margherita. This town and its beautiful Palace were designed by the architetc of Savoy, Amedeo di Castellmonte, at the behest of the duke Carlo Emanuele II, who wanted a royal residence for hunting trips. Venaria Reale derives from " venatoria " : hunting. In 1658 when they started the construction, from here to the Alpes was a forest rich in wild animals. The complex is imposing: entering from the main entrance you are welcomed in the court of honor, and the facdes of the Reggia di Venaria. On the back are the immense gardens rebuilt after the destruction occured by the French. Inside you can visit a beatiful museum with Savoy histroy, fine furnishings and paintings.
