Live like royalty in your own castle in the hills of Umbria. The surrounding ancient woodland is home to all kinds of wildlife – roe deer, wild boar and pheasants – and stretches for miles around you. The home dates back to the middle ages, a fact you can feel in the huge banqueting hall (perhaps for celebrations), and each grand lounge and bedroom. Within the grounds, you’ll find a secluded pool surrounded by trees for privacy and plenty of alfresco dining spots on patios and terraces. Fancy a day trip? The medieval town of Gubbio is just a short drive away.

Home truths
While not all of the rooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
This home is an old castle with a labyrinth of stairs and corridors inside. It will not suit those with limited mobility.
One of the bedrooms contains a queen bed and a single bed, so would best suit a small family sharing at capacity.
Your host welcomes well-behaved pets here on request.
Your host can provide a high chair for infants, just ask.
Cleaning and linen change are included with a stay here.
In a remote location, having a car is recommended. There is plenty of private parking within the grounds.

The crowning glory is La Basilica di San Francesco, built in honour of St Francis and home...
