Holiday apartment in Borgaro Torinese: culture, cycle paths and nature

Historic centre and distinctive buildings

The historic centre of Borgaro is centred around the old Church of Maria Assunta, which dates back to the 18th century. The church was restored in 1752. The character of the historic centre is also shaped by the heritage of a settlement that developed with a strong agricultural identity. The oldest settlement areas are located around Via Costituente.

The rooms adjoining the Church of Santa Maria Assunta house an old library and a historical archive. The volumes and documents there range from the 16th century to the present day. Santa Maria Assunta is also used throughout the year for cultural events and guided tours. This places the church building itself alongside the connection between local history, documents and a cultural programme.

Castello di Santa Cristina is an imposing building constructed in the 17th century. It is still used as a farm today. When planning a visit, it is also important to note that Castello di Santa Cristina is currently not open to visitors.

Cycle paths, exercise and Parco Chico Mendez

Borgaro has two cycle paths that cross each other. One of these cycle paths runs for more than two kilometres along Strada Provinciale 11 to Castello di Santa Cristina. The connection between the town, the route and the historic building gives active days out a clear thematic focus without overshadowing the destination’s cultural character.

Pista podistica Piero Mennea is located on Via Bertino. It also has an equipped fitness area. Thus, in addition to the cycle paths, a running track and a dedicated exercise area provide practical options for planning your day.

Parco Chico Mendez reveals another side of Borgaro. The park covers 100 hectares and extends into the areas of the municipalities of Turin and Venaria, crossed by several walking and cycling paths. During the summer months, it is also used for events and concerts. The park landscape, paths and cultural events therefore combine to offer various ways of experiencing the area outdoors.

Seasonal traditions in Borgaro Torinese

During the Christmas holidays, the Chapel of Saints Cosmas and Damian is open and houses a large mechanical nativity scene. The Chapel of Saints Cosmas and Damian is the only one of the chapels listed above that has survived.

Which holiday apartment in Borgaro Torinese suits your plans?

What matters is less a general promise than which of these specific aspects you want to shape your stay.
