"Once a 13th-century fortified hamlet overlooking the rolling Umbrian countryside—owned by Perugia’s noble Raspanti family and later part of the Porta Eburnea district—this estate evolved from defensive outpost into an aristocratic country residence; today its restored stone buildings and manicured parkland capture the quiet grandeur of medieval Umbria, reimagined as a contemporary retreat with a holistic spa featuring indoor and outdoor pools and forest trails through centuries-old woodland, and Cedri, a fine-dining restaurant led by Chef Emanuele Mazzella that celebrates the region’s seasonal bounty." - Laura May Todd
"About a 30‑minute drive from Perugia, this Relais & Châteaux resort gives a taste of the bucolic Umbrian countryside and reemerged from an extensive renovation in 2024; originally a 19th‑century private villa, it now has two restaurants, a fabulous spa, an outdoor pool and cinema, and a 40‑acre park to explore on foot or by bicycle, with rooms featuring wood‑beamed ceilings or original frescoes." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.
