About an hour from the holiday-house Cascina 6b, there is a place which, in view of the Christmas holidays, transforms into a magical Santa Claus Village, I’m talking about the evocative Ricetto di Candelo.
The Ricetto is a medieval village, built between the 13th and the 14th centuries, which served as a fortified structure used by the inhabitants of the village to store precious goods, such as wine and wheat, and to protect themselves in case of dangers. Its peculiarity lies in the urban structure, a set of buildings enclosed by high stone walls, with watchtowers at the corners. Inside, the narrow cobbled streets create a unique atmosphere that evokes the medieval past.
Thanks to its authenticity and historical charm, it has been recognized as one of the “most beautiful Villages in Italy” and also one of the best preserved in Europe.
The Santa Claus’ Village
Every year, near the Christmas holidays, the Ricetto transforms in a magical Christmas village. Walking between the cobbled streets, you can immerse yourself in a unique Christmas atmosphere thanks to the artisan markets. Here you will find a vast selection of typical local products, homemade decorations and original gift ideas. For the food lovers, the stalls offer Piedmontese specialties and tasty street food that will make your visit even sweeter.
For the little ones, there is the possibility to meet Santa Claus, post their letters in the magical mailbox and participate in a route in stages with creatives workshops. Here they will have fun creating greeting cards and Christmas decorations, discovering local traditions and playing Christmas-inspired activities, such as treasure hunts.
