CASTELLO DI POLGETO

The Castello is immersed in the 'great green heart 'of Umbria, a landscape that is inviting and quintessentially Italian. Wake to the sound of birdsong, enjoy cool summer mornings, before setting out to explore pretty Umbrian hill towns and excellent local wineries. Gubbio, Perugia and Assisi are all within easy distance of the castle for day trips, while the nearby town of Umbertide is perfect for exploring the weekly market, enjoying an espresso with the locals or enjoying a terrific dinner in an authentic trattoria.

This is all assuming, of course, that you can tear yourself away from the castle and its extensive grounds. Guests may want to enjoy an afternoon in the extraordinary tree house canopy, seating up to 24 guests, with a suspended platform with day beds, perfect for an afternoon siesta in the treetops. Children will enjoy the playroom with activities suiting children up to 12 years. Older children can explore the labyrinthine corridors, hidden walkways and viewpoints, or play games of bocce, ping-pong, tennis and of course the swimming pool.
