Historic castle - luxury hotel

This property in brief

Description

In the heart of Umbria, on a hill covered by meadows and forests of chestnut trees and oaks, there is an ancient fortress built from the XII century and, even today, it is surrounded by the charm of the stories of feudal knights. Although the construction of the castle began in medieval times, the structure has three distinct original architectural parts representing the three different historical perdiods in which it was made: the Middle Ages, dated back to the XII century, the Renaissance in the XV and XVI century and the Gothic period dated back to the XIX century. In recent years, the charming historical residence has been skilfully restored without modifying the authenticity, but retaining the original architectural and historic-artistic value enriched by the environment of high landscape value where it is placed. A land of 8500 m2 adjacent to the Tiber valley surrounds the walls of the castle with a park planted with tall trees (oaks and holm oaks) and a garden with statues, walkways, seating and garden benches. The terrace garden reaches the feet of the walls, where a beautiful swimming pool is surrounded by ancient Venetian marble statues depicting the Four Seasons. Near the pool area there is a wide thermal jacuzzi with colour-therapy and aromatherapy. To complete the relax area it is a gazebo lighted by an elegant chandelier from Murano up, antique Seven-Nineteenth-century pitchers, sun-umbrellas and hammocks. The castle has a structure in stone and old bricks and it has a surface of 2000 m2. The interiors recall the magical atmosphere of the Middle Ages: old armors, exclusive furniture and sophisticated furnishings have been carefully chosen to recreate the scenes of the feudal tradition. Large living rooms and historic rooms with painted ceilings or vaults, with Venetian chandeliers of different ages or majolica of the ancient pottery art of Deruta, alternate with precious bedrooms equipped with all modern comfort, in order to create suggestive emotions that lead the imagination to a fantastic world where knights and ladies come to life.
