Sometimes, during the night, it is possible to hear sighs and laments coming from the Tower. Some say that they have seen a shadow looking out from the window, as though someone was watching the Lake: popular belief maintains that it is the ghost of Madonna Barbara, which wanders restlessly around the Castle Tower in its vain wait for her beloved Messire Matteo.<br \/>\nNowadays visitors can enjoy the charm of <strong>historic rooms<\/strong>, furnished with antiques and objects of art, carefully selected from the family\u2019s private collection.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-428\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/favola.jpg\" alt=\"favola\" width=\"350\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/favola.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/favola-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><br \/>\nIt has been equipped with a wide range of sporting facilities both in and around the park\u00a0 like paragliding. golf, rafting, trekking, skiing, canoeing and mountain bike.<br \/>\nThe surroundings offer the opportunity of shopping in some regional outlets offering excellent top of the range brand names such as Prada, Gucci, Safilo, Brikko or to enjoy motorboat tours of the world famous Borromeo Islands or to appreciate the regional flavours in gastronomic tours.<br \/>\nClients can choose from a range of special offers, including <strong>Romantic Weekends<\/strong> and special accommodations for <strong>Honeymoons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/detail\/293\/il-castello-dal-pozzo-near-novara.html\">For more information about Castello Dal Pozzo and the Area, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-431\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/cappella.jpg\" alt=\"cappella\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-429\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/lago.jpg\" alt=\"lago\" width=\"350\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/lago.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/lago-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-430\" src=\"http:\/\/www.crossingitaly.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/giardino2.jpg\" alt=\"giardino2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Castello Dal Pozzo has an ancient history and unique surroundings on Lake Maggiore.
