Castello Perugia

In summary

With a spectacular hilltop setting and panoramic views of the countryside around Assisi, Castello Perugia is an unforgettable place to spend a vacation. Though the eight bedroom Umbrian fortress has been fully restored, its stonewalls and Renaissance-style furnishings offer a glimpse back in time. With Perugia just a 20 minute drive away, the property offers the chance to explore the region by day and relax in hotel-like accommodations by night.
The castle is a property of 2,000 square metres of living space and has 8 bedrooms and 5 hectares of private land.

Location

This property is situated in an area, which is an ideal home base for sorties into both the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside; for instance, it is merely half an hour to the Trasimeno Lake, a heaven for kids with many activities including mooring and any sort of naturalistic fun. The castle is in fact half an hour from Gubbio and slightly more than an hour from the traditional villages of Norcia and Cascia with their traditional alimentary products (ham and salame) and the ski station of Forche Canapine. The airports in Rome, Florence and Pisa are each about two hours away, while Perugia’s airport is about thirty minutes away. Umbria, and in particular this area, has a massive presence of Art, history and culture as well as abundant natural beauty, with the added luxury of no mass tourism.
