Description

Historical complex protected by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, it has an ancient history that starts from 1100 even if recent studies could date its birth at least 500 years before. Positioned on a gentle hill, with a panoramic view that sweeps over the wide valley from which one sees Perugia, the castle is composed of 4 towers set in a widespread village of rare beauty. A careful restoration, respectful of the original characteristics, allows you to fully enjoy the beauty of the complex that has become today Historical Residence. To make guests live a unique and unforgettable experience, the castle offers different solutions between luxurious rooms and suites, all finely furnished while retaining the original features of a medieval castle, or comfortable and spacious holiday apartments all with terracotta floors, ceilings with oak and chestnut beams, trusses and tiles. For those who wish, inside the medieval halls, you can taste traditional dishes or simply a delicious breakfast with local products coming partly from the castle estate. The historic home is set in a large park with over 10,000 square meters of gardens in which the two splendid swimming pools are also set. The Castle represents a unique location, halfway between Rome and Florence, central to the main art cities such as Assisi, Perugia, Todi, Spoleto, Siena and Arezzo which can be reached in no time. The buildings of the Castle are surrounded by almost 10,000 square meters of gardens and lawns, of which about 1,600 are "private gardens" of the apartments on the ground floor. The rest of the gardens are at the complete disposal of guests who can choose the place they prefer to sit and relax. At the top of the hill there are two square-terraces with wonderful views of the surrounding valleys and woods and the many medieval villages and historic houses that can be seen from a distance. Perugia with its Etruscan walls and its main monasteries is visible 16 km away from one of the terraces, many private gardens and many apartment windows. The Sereni-Torricella forest, protected by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (hereinafter MiBACT) and by the European Union, is visible 2.5 km away. The Castle has two swimming pools with a beautiful view of the valley. The largest, which faces north-west, is 16 meters long and 6 meters wide. The smaller one, measuring 8 meters by 4, faces north-east towards Perugia. Chlorine is not used to keep it clean, but oxygen. The Castello restaurant is called "Il Rifugio di San Costanzo", because the first bishop of Perugia, whose name was Costanzo, took refuge in Monticelli in 174 AD during a persecution of Christians under Marcus Aurelius (emperor from 160 to 180 AD). There are traces of S. Costanzo in the chapel of Monticelli which are illustrated elsewhere on this site. The restaurant is generally open only for dinner and only by reservation. Dinners are offered in the Gothic hall or outdoors if weather permits. The San Costanzo Refuge offers typical dinners of the Italian regions, in particular in Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio. Pasta is often home-made, vegetables are often organic and "zero kilometers" because they come from the large organic garden of the castle farm. The castle farm has about 4 hectares of arable land in the plain and about 4 hectares along the slopes of the hill. The organic garden in the plain measures about 16,300 square meters of which 5,000 are planted with berries (especially blackberries and raspberries). The rest of the land is cultivated with alfalfa or covered with fruit trees and olive trees.
