About Sarre
Sarre is a town of under 5,000 people at about 630 metres, in the Aosta Valley close to the regional capital. Its Royal Castle sits on a hill overlooking the Aosta plain, among steep terraces of vines and apple orchards. Victor Emmanuel II bought the castle in 1869, and the Savoy kings came here to hunt.
