Like something from a fairytale, this castle truly is one-of-a-kind, and there are few places we'd rather be nestled in a medieval castle than in Umbria, the very heart of Italy. With surprisingly bright, airy spaces, luxurious furnishings, and a sense of the utmost love and care that has gone into this home, it really is difficult not to fall utterly in love with this home. The host has managed to celebrate the castle's fourteenth-century heritage with its mix of modern and traditional interiors. On top of that, there's a huge kitchen and several alfresco dining options, making this a great choice for those that like to indulge in Italy's exquisite cuisine, while the private pool, play area, games room, and extensive grounds are sure to keep guests of any age entertained the whole way through. For those looking for an adventure outdoors, head to the breathtaking city of Perugia, known for its chocolate and the way the city comes alive in the summer with festivals, music and theatre. If that isn't enough adventure, grab your hiking boots and sandwiches, and head on out into the Umbrian wilds, reconnecting with nature and Umbrian culture. The beauty of this home is its versatility. While guests are more than welcome to relax by the pool and soak up the Umbrian sun, they are also welcome to a myriad of walking trails, truffle and mushroom hunting, picnics in the meadow, strolls along ancient woodlands, etc.

About Perugia

In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
