I booked Rocchette Castle for an 8-day reunion of 11 families. Despite what both the VRBO site and Reps stated repeatedly about the property, Novasol, a Danish firm, is NOT the Host or Property Manager. "Novasol is a booking agency that manages the rental of the house," they wrote. VRBO is a subcontractor. For details Luigi, the owner, has all the answers. Reached directly, Novasol put me in touch with him. Rocchette isn’t a military castle, it is a fortified villa, 600 years old. The "cool factor" is off the charts. The area is very (very) quiet, a perfect place to decompress. Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio, Todi, Viterbo and Celleno are convenient and well worth seeing, especially the first three.Every room has a shower. Most were accessible via conventional stairs, but a few used fairly tight spiral stairs. Families with children avoided those. The rooms were clean, comfortable, uncluttered and functional. Rustic utility: yes, luxury: no. Common spaces including the dining and pool/reading rooms were nicely equipped and attractive. The kitchen was large and suitable for preparing big meals (massive stove). Cookware was abundant but some had seen better days. There is a large wood/charcoal grill, a pool and a soccer field. The access road is easy for any car. The courtyard was really great for little kids, some of whom had mini-bikes, and they had a fine time protected by the walls. Every guest was blown away by this amazing facility; we highly recommend it.
