All bedrooms are furnished with antiques and all bathrooms have deluxe claw foot tubs with hand showers, as well as bidets. Also off the terrace, and part of this hall is a card room complete with castle poker chips. Returning to the terrace, a portico leads to an interior ivy covered courtyard with a medieval well. A fountain flows out of the wall and into an ancient marble tub. A few steps lead to the armoury, which has been turned into a large dining room with a huge fireplace and views. Connecting to the armoury is the billiard room, where a gorgeous antique billiard table is found, a comfortable seating area and a bar at the far end for drinks, or café.

The bedroom next door is cosier, but gorgeous, and these rooms share a "Jack and Jill" type large bathroom complete with claw foot tub, shower, toilet and bidet. Down a small hall is a little room with two single beds and a small fireplace, which is referred to as the "little boys room" because of its unique half bathroom. Returning again to the vestibule at the top of the marble stairs, we follow another direction into a huge living room, known as the music room because of its unique acoustics and great stereo.

Third floor 890 sqare metres: With a certain number of rooms. Fourth floor 450 sqare metres: Possibility to create guest rooms.
Plot:It is to point out that there is no adjacent plot around the castle because of its location in the middle of the hamlet.

There are padded chaise lounges, canvas pool chairs, a large table with chairs and umbrella. A 15th century mill sits at one end, with a bathroom/changing room with shower restored inside.
Location:Umbria is considered "the heart of Italy" and is a land of over one hundred medieval towns. The township of this hamlet is one of these.

You can wander down the main street and shop: there are a few clothing stores, a pharmacy, a bank, some grocers, a flower shop, a hardware store, a bakery and a pizzeria.
