Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Waking up to the sight of Umbiran hills has inspired numerous poets and artists for centuries, and with Castiglione, you can pretty much relive that sensation with little interference from the modern world. Aside from some minimalist furniture and a deeply refreshing pool outside, the estate has mostly been kept in its original condition to preserve its rustic soul. The highlights include a breakfast area in place of the chapel organ and a balcony with some of the best views you can find on the premises. You'll be twenty minutes away from Perugia, which is a nice city to explore, but we also recommend you visit Assisi and Gubbio, which are both famously worth a visit.
