These wonderful apartments are located in a castle in the Lazio region right on the border with Tuscany. The castle dates from the 12th Century and has a pentagonal base, which contains a main tower and two side towers connected by walkways, as well as a drawbridge, one of the 19 still in operation in Italy. The castle towers over Via Cassia and dominates the valley of Paglia, with Monte Amiata in the background. Surrounded by forests and green valleys, this rare example of the medieval fortress survives in its original state and offers charming accommodations and wonderful hospitality where you can enjoy history and culture without sacrificing modern comforts. The castle consists of 7 apartments. Three apartments are in the fortress part of the 14th Century. Although they share a common path through the garden to the pool, each is independent and has its own furnished outdoor area. Around the medieval courtyard are the other four apartments, also with a private outdoor area; the swimming pool (12x6 mt, open from mid-May to mid-October) can be reached through an old charming tunnel under the castle. All apartments have a fireplace with wood, for romantic and cozy evenings.
These apartments are a little paradise where you can move away from modern and chaotic life. The swimming pool is located in the large green park of the resort, from where you can enjoy beautiful views from the terraces. At the swimming pool there is also a renovated barn that now serves as a restaurant and in which long-forgotten recipes and typical regional dishes can be enjoyed in peace and in the beauty of the surrounding garden.
Halfway between Florence and Rome (both at 150 km away), the castle is in an ideal location for trips to art centers such as Orvieto, Pitigliano, Bolsena Lake, Tuscania, Viterbo, Pienza and Montepulciano. This exceptional residence is also a perfect place for a wonderful wedding and other events. Please contact us for more information.

Wonderful place

We had a wonderful time in Proceno. Cicillia is one of the kindest people we have ever met and our stay was beyond what we expected. The pool area is so relaxing. The cooking class inspiring and delicious. We drove to Lake Bolsena which is stunning the water so good for swimming and renting a boat. It was quiet around the castle, a much slower pace of life so still adjusting to being back in busy London!

Beautiful!

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay in this castle apartment. The atmosphere was charming and the hosts were wonderful! It is clear that great pride has been taken into maintaining the authenticity of the lodgings and dining areas. Thank you Mrs Cecilia for your hospitality and for opening up your property for others to enjoy! It was a great pleasure to meet you. The location is only a short drive to other small villages for day trips, beaches, hiking and shopping.

The perfect jumping off point

We spent 5 days at the Castello exploring southern Tuscany from Siena, Arezzo, and Cortona to Sorano, Sovano, and Pitigliano. The apartment was comfortable and our hosts were gracious and very thoughtful. We ate fine dinners at the castle twice and had a fortifying breakfast each morning. Highly recommended.
