Originally a castle with an adjoining 11th-century church adorned with frescoes, this grand home is perfect for weddings and special celebrations. Set on a renowned estate, there are stunning views of the Umbrian hills and vineyards from the gardens, alfresco dining areas and the heated infinity pool. The main house sleeps six guests, while on the other side of the garden, there’s an annexe which sleeps eight people – all bedrooms have a marble en-suite. When you want to explore, long walks can be enjoyed around the estate’s communal grounds home, to olive groves and river valleys or visit the fascinating city of Perugia.
