Castello Perugia really has the wow factor. Restored from a crumbling ruin, this ancient fortress now provides superlative accommodation for up to 16 within its enormous stone walls. Perfect for a small wedding or special celebration, its design and location offer the very highest hotel-standard quality, but in a space that is all yours.

When you arrive at Castello Perugia you'll be charmed by its ancient stone walls and the beauty of its rugged towers, stone arches and terracotta tiled roofs. The castles has large and well-tended grounds, with lawns, terraces, olive trees, a private pool with its own pool-house and loungers. It sits perched at the top of a hill, commanding breathtaking views across the misty hills of Umbria.

Despite the castle's imposing exterior, you'll find the interiors soft and luxurious. Each bedroom is divine, with its own en-suite, living area and enormous four poster bed, piled with cushions. There are several living areas, ranging from a cosy nook in front of an open fire, to a wonderfully grand space with a marble fireplace and ornate ceilings. Everywhere you look you'll find treasures that remind you of this building's history - from ancient wooden wall panels, to frescos to statues and paintings.

The property features an enormous kitchen, fully equipped and suitable for professional catering - or perfect for rustling up a little plate of something to enjoy with a glass of wine on the terrace. There's also a bar and a fabulous dining room with a fully stocked wine cellar attached.
