Castello Poveromo Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
The exclusive Castello Poveromo is the perfect setting for a unique holiday with family and friends or even private events. The castle, located in Umbria, has been recently refurbished and is truly as magnificent as it was in the 12th century. It is now functioning as a modern and luxurious home with the richest of heritage.
The eight bedroom suites are individually designed with super-king beds dressed with luxurious fabrics and soft linen. The most comfortable furniture, panoramic views, fine artworks, gym and spa with Turkish bath, will make you want to spend all your time inside this unique medieval castle.
Wherever you are on the castle’s property you are greeted with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Tiber valley. The cities of Assisi and Perugia can be seen from the front terrace, while near the swimming pool Monte Tezio and Monte Acuto dominate the landscape.
Whether relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a morning coffee overlooking the vibrant hills, the life of the castle is in harmony with the surrounding countryside.The region of Umbria is known as the ‘green heart of Italy. It is one of the finest holiday destinations, not only in Italy but also in the whole of Europe. Umbria is a land of spectacular, pristine, and largely rural landscapes, rolling wooded hills, mountains, valleys, and sublime art and architecture.
There’s always something to do inside Castello Poveromo, but there are also a lot of exciting activities surrounding the property. Guests can tour nearby churches and museums to see incredible art and learn about the rich history of Assisi, Perugia and Cortona. There are tennis courts, a golf course and cycling tours offered nearby so guests can discover the secrets of Umbria.
As one stands before the castle today and surveys the panorama towards Assisi, it is remarkable how little this corner of Italy has changed and how easily one is transported to bygone times.
