The heart of the castle was built in the twelfth century, in order to control the road below from Perugia to Gubbio. The castle is nestled at 580 meters above sea level and from there it towers over the Tiber valley. The history of this property is already evident at the entrance, where the magnificent gate and the front door are greeting you, offering access to the courtyard.
The private 8 bedroom castle includes a dining room, living room and professional kitchen. Each bedroom suite is wonderfully furnished and boasts a unique interior. It is a hideaway place from everyday life, an oasis for the heart and mind and the perfect destination for a chic holiday. In each room, fireplaces, velvet drapes, renaissance tapestries, frescoes, artwork, antique furniture and fantastic views ideally combine to create the special ambience of this property.
Each of the eight bedrooms benefits from a totally individual style, design and colour. Rich fabrics and soft linen are used for the antique, super-king beds. The most cozy furniture, panoramic views and great artworks will seduce you to spend all your time amongst the amazing medieval setting of the castle.
To admire the pristine Umbrian hills is one of life’s great pleasures. At the castle this is possible from the quiet luxury of your own bath. All of the bathrooms within the castle are large and refined. Marble showers, heated stone floors and the high-quality linen make every bathroom experience a real pleasure.
Step back a few centuries to dine in front of the open fireplace at the ancient long table, surrounded by historical artworks. At the castle, you are offered to have dinner in this ancient, beamed room, or on the open rooftop terrace to admire the breathtaking view of the Tiber valley far below. The chef serves delicacies sourced from the best local ingredients.
The generous living room dominated by a large, stone fireplace is the social heart of the property. A chic and private space all year round: cosy in the winter months with the snow thick on the ground outside, or a pleasant retreat in the summer months with its cool stone walls. Chic tapestries, velvet cushions and antique leather armchairs invite you to unwind in this lovely space with friends, family or alone with a good book.
The kitchen is a center of Italian life, and at the castle, to serve your every culinary need you have a deluxe, contemporary and custom built kitchen. Not only beautiful, but functional, the culinary experiences while staying at the castle will never disappoint. All dietary requirements can be met by the talented team of professional staff.
Surrounded by the olive grove, you will find 15m x 6.5m pristine swimming pool. There is a brand new fitness room and hammam in the castle’s cellar nearby for those who prefer to stay fit on holiday. Two outdoor terraces provide fantastic views and are available for dining or relaxing. One of the terraces is fitted with a wood oven/barbecue for those summer evenings, dining underneath the stars. A massage therapist is available upon request during their stay.
