This fully restored castle represents a new idea of grandiose luxury, a terrific mixture of classic architecture and contemporary, edgy design. It is possibly the boldest restoration ever attempted in Umbria, commencing in the mid 1980’s and finished in 2012, with outstanding results. Originally built as a military defense castle, it had to undergo a major restorative work, under architect Corrado Giannini, while the interiors have been curated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard.
The honey coloured stone castle offers today 8 grand bedrooms all with en-suite tailor made bathrooms, a professional kitchen designed with the help of a professional chef, a fitness area and a private room for massages and wellness. An exceptional luxury home, this retreat has been carefully crafted to bring luxury and comfort into the Italian experience: the interiors feature precious drapes and tapestries, artwork, and furniture which, together with the view, create an alluring atmosphere.
The castle seamlessly blends contemporary standards, including modern plumbing and state-of-the-art appliances together with an evocative atmosphere and precious elements picked from the Italian and local Umbrian style heritage. Every room has been designed in an individual style, the upholstery has been selected based on the preserved original samples of the period and everything has been manufactured by local craftsmen, using the highest quality materials. The sweeping vistas are unrivaled, offering a commanding view of the valley.
