Fulfil your fairytale fantasy and retreat to this eleventh-century castle and church. Its renovation highlights the historical features such as the ancient fresco, stone walls and wooden beams. Each bedroom has a super king bed and luxurious marble en-suites – the extravagance continues outside where the glass-like infinity pool seamlessly blends into the Tiber valley. The panoramic views display the estate's olive groves, woodlands and hills all of which are best enjoyed over an alfresco meal on the terrace. If you're looking for a wild swim take a forty-five-minute drive to the shores of Lake Trasimeno, with its olive groves and cypress trees.

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.
