Om boendet

Umbrien restaurerade olivkvarnen pÄ Castello di Montegiove, Moraiolo

Charmig och helt ÄterstÀlld 1300-talsslottolivkvarn, förvandlad till ett lyxigt hus pÄ landet, belÀget strax utanför ringmuren i Castello di Montegiove.

Montegiove Àr en hÀrlig och fridfull medeltida landsby, nÀra de viktigaste kommunikationslinjerna och liggande i Rom (154 km) och Florens (151 km). Det Àr en idealisk bas för att utforska de historiska skatterna i Umbrien och Toscana, sÀrskilt landsbygden i de historiska provinserna Orvieto, Assisi, Todi, Spoleto, Perugia och Siena.

Huset Àr utrustat med satellit-TV, höghastighetsanslutning till internet, oberoende vÀrme, fullt utrustat kök med diskmaskin, tvÀttmöjligheter och torkstÀll. Huset Àr möblerat i traditionell stil i ett centralt italiensk herrgÄrd med en smakfull kombination av antika och moderna möbler. Extra stÀdservice och privat kock kan ocksÄ ordnas.

Hyran inkluderar uppvÀrmning, veckovis byte av lakan och handdukar, normal slutstÀdning och skatter.
Moraiolo: 3 sovrum, 2 badrum, vardagsrum / matsal, kök, sovplatser: 6.

BottenvÄningen bestÄr av ett stort vardagsrum med öppen spis och bibliotek, ett kök med tillgÄng till en liten uteplats, ett sovrum med dubbelsÀng med utsikt över dalen och ett rymligt badrum med dusch. Den första vÄningen bestÄr av en lÄng hall, tvÄ dubbelrum, ett med en vacker utsikt över dalen, den andra med franska fönster som pekar mot slottet. Ett vÀl utformat modernt badrum med marmorhandfat, badkar och dusch.

TrÀdgÄrden har en matplats, bekvÀma solstolar och en vacker utsikt över dalen.

Slottet i Montegiove har funnits sedan början av 1100-talet och har under de senaste fyra Ärhundraden varit egendom till Marchesi Misciattelli.

Idag, fortfarande familjeÀgt, Àr det centrum för en egendom som tÀcker nÀstan 3000 hektar vacker umbrisk landsbygd, dÀr ekskogar, vingÄrdar, olivfÀlt och Äkermark smÀlter samman i total harmoni med forntida torra vÀggar och bondgÄrdar byggda av lokal sten.

Gods huvudprodukter Àr vin, olivolja, spannmÄl, oljefrö, Chianina nötkreatur, foder och skogsprodukter och. Det finns gott om vilda djur som vildsvin och rÄdjur, och den lokala floran inklusive tryffel och svamp. De vackra omgivningarna och den orörda miljön gör det svÄrt att tro att Montegiove ligger bara 17 km frÄn Italiens huvudsakliga motorvÀg A1 (Milano - Neapel), som ocksÄ förbinder Rom och Florens.

Under din vistelse i Montegiove-olivkvarnen fÄr du möjligheten att vara familjens Misciattelli-gÀst och fÄ en guidad tur i vintern, pÄ slottet och den omgivande gÄrden.

Exceeded all expectations

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe my amazing week at Castello di Montegiove. Rikke and Lorenzo are the most spectacular hosts. How they have time to run everything AND take the time to give tours and be as responsive as they are, I’ll never know. The absolute highlight of our stay were the two meals they organized, prepared by local chef Giovanni. We cannot recommend enough that you also enjoy one if you can! He came to our guesthouse and made magic. My nephew even said it was the best meal ever. We also signed up for a truffle hunt, which was such a unique experience. And Rikke and Lorenzo led us on a fascinating tour of the castle itself with a wine tasting at the end. Their wines are fantastic and oh how handy was it to have the wine shop merely steps from our door? Very! (p.s. this is the ONLY store in town.) The pool is as picturesque as it appears, and I often had it to myself while the rest of my party was doing their own thing. If mosquitos like you I recommend bug spray! The Avis car rental they suggested worked perfectly and we enjoyed taking little day trips to neighboring towns, but more critically, to get to the grocery store about 20 minutes away in Fabro. I’m not joking that there are noooooo stores of any sort in town! Not a gas station not anything. Plan ahead on your drive to the castle but if you forget like we did, it’s really just 20 minutes away. I hope to return sooner than later. Thank you Rikke and Lorenzo!

Stunning

We have had a fabulous week in Montegiove. Easily situated for trips out and remote enough for restful days, this is a beautiful spot. We all enjoyed the pool and the castle tour and the grown ups enjoyed the wine! In addition, Rikke and Lorenzo are super hosts, making guests very welcome. Highly recommended.

Incredible place in Umbria

Montegiove is a charming place in the middle of Umbrian countryside. Beautiful castle renovated by Rikke and Lorenzo in a farm estate with cows, vineyard and olive fields. We rented a stylish house next to the castle, comfortable, clean and well furnished. The infinite edge of the pool offers a wide view on a beautiful landscape. Last but not least, Rikke and Lorenzo are very nice hosts : warming welcome, good advice about visits and restaurants, every useful service. We spent a really dream week in Montegiove !

Amazing place to stay! Rikke and Lorenzo were super friendly and helpful hosts.

My friends and I enjoyed the salt water infinity pool, the wine tasting tour, the local people and area, the castle tour, and our lovely castle apartment. Lorenzo and Rikke were super helpful and gave us advice on the surrounding areas and what to see and do. The castle is an excellent place to also chill out and swim in the pool with the beautiful vista view. We all highly recommend this place to stay.

Magnificent Beyond Words

Our family of 5 stayed at Castello Montigiove in September 2017, in the 3 bedroom restored Olive Mill. Prior to our arrival both Rikki & Lorenzo responded to every question and request within 24 hours. Upon arrival we were greeted by Rikki, who was gracious ,welcoming & giving us every reassurance of help and support if needed during our stay. I actually became choked up with happy emotions as the property exceeded my expectations. Our 3 bedroom villa was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. It served as our home base for one week as we toured Tuscany and Umbria. The towns we visited include, Pienza, Buonconvento, Cortona, San Gimignano, Siena, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Civita Bagnoregio, Montelcino,,Bagno Vignoni, & Montegiove. The castle was a perfect location to easily tour one or 2 villages per day, allowing us to truly get to know the region. On two occasions Rikki arranged for a local lady to arrive at our villa and prepare dinner for us. Both meals were fabulous and accommodating gluten free dishes for 2 in our party that has celiac disease. Lorenzo and Rikki gave us a tour of the castle, which was a highlight of our stay. The history, stories, magnificent structures, furnishing and more held us wanting more. Lorenzo's tour of the winery was so very interesting and one can tell he loves to talk about his grapes, wine & harvests. We ate it up! The tour ended with a wine tasting. I wish we could purchase his wine in America. We all purchased several bottles of wine and brought a few tins of his olive oil. The castle has a lovely infinity pool that we used on several occasions. It's a short & beautiful walk from our villa. Be sure to take your camera as one can get magnificent photos of the castle as you walk to the pool. We enjoyed more wine or limoncello as we soaked in the sun and cooled off in the water. I feel honored to have meet Rikki & Lorenzo and to have stayed at their lovely property. I can not imagine a better place in which to stay. If we have the good fortune to return to Italy, it is certain we would stay there again. For anyone researching a place to stay, look no farther! You most definitely will not be disappointed. Thank you to Rikki & Lorenzo for their superb hospitality. Cheryl, Bill, Heather, Justin & Jamie Watterson, USA

Not the castle vacation I expected

I was expecting a dream vacation in a castle and was surprised to find that the apartment was closer to the village and the church bell tower than the actual castle. It's overlooking the village street and the local metal shop. It's a twin home sharing walls with the Leccino apartment. It is set on a sloped lot, so the kitchen and living are on the second floor whereas the outdoor dining which we are fond of is down a slope of stairs on the first floor, which eventually got us to only eat inside since lugging all the dishes up and down became cumbersome. The laundry was a little shed, another level lower, where the trash cans were located. The pool was a gorgeous negative edge Infinity salt water pool on the opposite side overlooking the mountains. About 50 steps and a steep slope down. We took the bikes to reach it and it was a lot of fun. A tip to remember is that check in is at 4pm on Saturday when most of the local grocery stores are closed already (they are 30 min each way), so stock up on groceries before you arrive. The kitchen is very well stocked so you can cook quite a variety. Also bring bug spray as there are spiders, mosquitoes and scorpions in the house. The hosts were amazing and very accommodating and made the vacation memorable. Be sure not to miss the tour of the estate.

Visit Castle Montegiove, a medieval castle with 21st century charm and convenience.

We could not have more pleased with our choice of Castle Montegiove as the home base for our visit to Italy. Our hosts Lorenzo and Rikke could not have more gracious and helpful. Our 3br/3ba apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. On site we were treated to a tour of the castle and Montegiove's state of the art winery. Our men had great fun hunting truffles with our guide and his truffle hunting dog Luna. Our location allowed us to make awesome day trips to nearby Todi, Orvieto, Scarzuola and Castle Greppolischieto. A round trip train ride to Florence (Firenze) gave us plenty of time to see Michaelangelo's David and many other of Florence's historical sites and shops. Our final day we awoke to find the entire valley around us shrouded in fog as our castle above the clouds was bathed in beautiful sunshine. A truly gorgeous day to end our stay. To be able to visit the small villages and towns off the beaten path and experience some of Italy's scenic beauty made Castle Montegiove an excellent choice for us. Many thanks to our hosts for making it all possible.

Absolutely superb

We had an absolutely wonderful, unique, peaceful, and happy holiday here. The hosts Rikki and Lorenzo couldn't have been more helpful, without ever being intrusive. Our accommodation had everything we needed, was clean, comfortable and authentic. Truly amazing surroundings. You do need a car and it is very quiet here, but Rikki and Lorenzo can offer advice and tips about places to visit, eat and shop. One evening we had a local lady come and cook supper for us - great experience. Infinity pool stunning, shared with other guests.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

Enjoying a vacation abroad with two young boys (4 and 7) can be challenging but not here. We had a fantastic time. Both the hosts (owners) and other guests were absolutely lovely. The location was great. We had a wonderful local woman cook some evening meals for us which was a welcome relief. If Italy was not enough having wonderful homemade meals and wine in the evenings made it heavenly. Did I mention the wine is fantastic, the views breathtaking, the apts well suited and again the people were extremely warm and welcoming. Big thumbs up from the whole family.

Idyllic Umbrian Experience

We had an excellent time at the Castello di Montegiove in a beautiful setting high above the surrounding Umbrian countryside. Our 3BR accommodation was very well equipped and comfortable and made for an excellent base from which to explore the area from Assisi to Orvieto. We balanced our day trip excursions with more relaxing time at home and by the gorgeous infinity pool which had spectacular views over the surrounding area. Rikke and Lorenzo were wonderful hosts, giving us a tour of the castle (their home) and its rich history over the centuries. As the estate also makes its own wine and olive oil we were able to enjoy both. Both our boys (aged 11 and 7) had a great time on their first visit to Italy - you can't go wrong with phenomenal local pizza and gelato with kids.

Paradise

If you seek a true vacation, come here. Rome and Florence are an easy train ride away; Siena, Assisi, hiking, cycling and a world class spa are in the vicinity. You may find, like my family, that you never want to leave the view from Montegiove, and its amazing hospitality.

Fantastic stay

Everything about our stay was fantastic! Thank you for letting us stay ! The accommodation is just like the photos, comfortable, very clean, spacious , beautiful..... everything you need if provided. The swimming pool is just a short walk from the apartment and is great, with plenty of sun loungers. The only negative aspect was lack of private outside space. There are table and chairs outside but you have to walk around the property to the back of it to use them.. we just carried our food and drinks there. We thought that looking at the photos you could access them from the kitchen, but we soon got used to doing this. Last, but not least, our whole stay was made absolutely amazing by our wonderful hosts, Lorenzo, Rikke and their family. They are so welcoming, I cannot speak highly enough of them! It was a pleasure and a privilege to stay here and we highly recommend it .. we shall be back ! Our thanks from all the family.

The best Umbrian vacation

We stayed in one of the apts. in the Olive Mill in March arriving on a windy and rainy day. At first we all thought, what have we done, but it turned out to be the best part of our Italian trip. The 3 bedroom apartment was clean, beautiful and on the most gorgeous hilltop in Umbra. We loved every minute of it. Lorenzo and Rikki were generous, interesting and fun. Lorenzo gave us a tour of the castle and the property and Rikki called many restaurants for us. We loved the family style restaurant in Montegiobbe and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. We were traveling with our son, daughter-in-law and our grandson who was only one. We managed to take day trips to Orvieto, Assissi, Todi and many other smaller towns in Umbria.If I could, I would go back every year.

Amazing, wonderful, and magical!

For anyone wanting the experience of a lifetime, this is the place! My husband and I rented the Olive Mill along with two other couples, and we can't say enough about our wonderful stay here. The Olive Mill is beautiful, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, the countryside is spectacular, and our hosts went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our week. It's hard to describe just how special Montegiove is. When you're staying outside the walls of a castle on top of a mountain overlooking the hills and forests of Umbria, it is truly the experience of a lifetime. We spent the week using this as a home base to explore some of the small hilltop towns like Montegobione as well as more well-known places like Assisi and Orvieto. We absolutely loved everything about it, and I can't say enough about the warm, welcoming attitude of our hosts. They made a very special place magical.

Absolute Paradise - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Our family of 4 and my son's fiance's family of 4 rented both units for a week in May. It was just wonderful!! Lorenzo and Rikke answered 10's of emails in anticipation of our son's proposal while in Italy - they even bought a bottle of Champagne for us to celebrate. (He actually proposed 3 days earlier in Venice - after all!) The apartments were divine - offering EVERYTHING you could possibly want - plenty of cooking implements/dishes in the kitchen. Rikke had also provisioned both kitchens with a "starter kit" of fresh fruit, tuna, pasta, tomatoes, crackers, jam, cookies and even a bottle of their own olive oil and wine. In the frig, she had placed water, juice and milk as well. Cleaning materials were readily available - even down to candles for the table! She also made reservations for us to go down the short lane to the Wine Bar for wine and appetizers and return for a special dinner on a Thursday night when we arrived - despite most places being closed! They both gave us a tour of the castle on the 4th day there - we so enjoyed hearing about the family castle that they have been renovating over the last few years - and its history! They opened their office for us to make phonecalls - and Rikke even arranged for us a last minute reservation to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence that saved us waiting in line for 2 hours! They were SO SWEET and totally accommodating to our needs! The apartments are gorgeous - even equipped with internet and satellite tv (we were even able to pick up Fox News!!). In one apartment, a large yard with lounge chairs and a huge family table for picnics was conveniently right off the kitchen - (which was so pretty with a domed ceiling!) In each apartment was a binder full of maps, brochures and information on what to do, see and where to eat. The castle is way up on a hill overlooking a paradise of lush fields, grape arbors and olive trees - far from the madding crowd of tourists - you feel like the Lords and Ladies of the Manor! We almost wish we had a extra day just to sit "home" and relax! Everyday, we were off in our 9 person rented van to another little town in Tuscany or to Rome/Florence. The train is about 20 minutes down the hill in Fabro - it was about $30 roundtrip a person - we took the train to Rome, but drove to Florence - BIG MISTAKE - take the train, parking is awful in the cities and pretty far away! Don't miss ORVIETO farmer's market and church, Montepulciano and Assisi! We LOVED it there!!!
