Castello di Fénis
Aosta Valley
Unlike the region's cliff-top strongholds, Fénis sits on a gentle knoll, built for display by the Challant family with a fairytale skyline of turrets and crenellated curtain walls. A short path circles the exterior through the meadow, and easy lanes lead on into the vineyards and chestnut wood behind.
