Authentic Medieval Castle Retreat

Commanding a verdant, forest-covered hill overlooking the Tiber Valley and Monte Tezio Wildlife Park, you can’t get more private than this. The fully-restored Romanesque castle with thick turrets, portcullis gates and stone courtyards is an exquisite opportunity to live as in times of old with all your creature comforts, not least modern plumbing, underfloor heating, A/C, a state-of-the-art kitchen, an elevator and a luxury spa and gym in the dungeons! Upon arrival, your excitement can’t help but rise as you catch glimpses of the imposing castle in the distance while navigating winding dirt roads shaded by forest. Better still, if you arrive at dusk, you’ll see soft lights glistening on the hilltop full of promise and ancient secrets. This property really is in a category of its own – away from the stresses and reality of daily life. Eight magnificent double suites – adorned with thick velvet drapes, period furniture and tapestries – take centre stage in this grandiose fortress first built in the late medieval period. Now, it features interiors by designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who has remained faithful to the essence of the medieval period. The result is fascinating. You really feel as though you are the guest of some historic noble family.
