The visit is with an expert guide that will tell the ancient and mysterious environments of the 14^th century manor is tailor made for children (especially recommended from 6 to 12 years old) who will be able to intervene and ask questions. For example, who was Pietrino Falletti, the old owner who lived in Serralunga in 1357?

Starting from the outside to discover the hills belonging to the Unesco Heritage, they are rich in precious products such as grapes and hazelnuts. The guide will tell many anecdotes and curiosities to visitors, even pointing to some fossils of shells hidden in a Castle fireplace and animal prints that remain visible between some bricks. And then, the techniques to defend themselves against the enemies and the rain collection tank, which you will see and even try, pouring water to hear the noise.

Among the games offered by the guide to children, there is the acknowledgment of the foods (fruits and vegetables) that were actually present in the Lord’s table in 1350, in the famous Three Fireplaces Room. Or you can take photographs with helmet, shield and sword, just like the medieval knights. At the end of the tour, each family will have a small homage to take home.
