Where to Stay and What to See in Umbria, Central Italy’s Best Year-Round Escape | Vogue

"In the 1980s, Count Antonio Bolza purchased a 1,500-hectare wooded estate and its crumbling 10th-century castle as a private home for him, his wife and their five children to enjoy as a holiday retreat. The property was lovingly restored and lived in by the family for decades until 2021, when his son, the architect Count Benedikt Bolza, took over and transformed the ancient stronghold into a luxury boutique hotel. Now guests can wander the stunning courtyards of the hilltop fortress, outfitted with beautifully crafted interiors—including hand-painted murals by Bolza’s wife, Donna Nencia—multiple restaurants, a pond-like swimming pool overlooking the valley and several newly revived farmhouses that can be rented as private vacation villas." - Laura May Todd
