Since 1901, the whole estate belongs to Counts Giunta Tremi, a real noble family descended from emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who are proud to welcome their guests and give them a five-star aristocratic hospitality with their amazing staff.

Umbria is one of Italyâs most uspoilt and picturesque regions, also called âItalyâs green heartâ. This enchanting area is nestled between Tuscany and the dramatic Sibillini mountains and is dotted by dozens of charming medieval towns and one of Italyâs largest lakes, the Trasimeno. You can reach Tuscany in 30 minute drive and the Adriatic coast in 90 min drive. Umbria offers all the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Tuscany, but without the crowds, and ticks all the boxes for those seeking an authentic, sustainable Italian escape.
The 5,000 sq.m manicured gardens which surround the Pieve castle were created by the famous Tuscan landscape designer Alberto Margheriti. They are embroidered with flowers (roses, santoline, perovskia, and thyme), pomegranate and cherry trees, with cratecus, laurel, rosemary and lavender bushes, oak and olive trees, that are continuously in flower. Numerous seating areas offer fabulous views over the hills and the Tiber valley.
Other features are the large panoramic infinity saltwater pool (120 sqm) with fantastic hillside views, the botanic gardens with aromatic plants and a vegetable garden with fresh vegetables to pick up and enjoy. The pool broad wooden loggia, surrounded by jasmines and roses, features a frigo, dining tables and chairs, elegant sofas in wicker and lighting and is the ideal place for a lazy lunch or romantic evening dining. There are 15 elegant sunbeds in wicker with fluffy cushions, 15 loungers, 15 pool umbrellas, shower, telephone; the whole garden around the pool features beautiful lighting.
Finally, table tennis, bocce ball court, billiards, mountain bikes and children playground will keep you entertained. There is even a beautiful church perfect for tying the knot should the fancy take you! The castle is licensed for on-site civil weddings.
A professionally trained, empathetic, caring and discreet staff will take care of you in a unobtrusive way.
Despite 90% of the Italian villas to rent that are merely private houses, Le Torri di Bagnara Castles feature a Tourist Accommodation license (luxury Agriturismo) since 2005, so we offer the privacy and freedom of a private house together with top-quality service, unparalleled access to one of central Italy most beautiful places and a superior degree of safety and security standards that have to be complied with by law.
Eco-Sustainability is part of daily life here: energy comes from our 140 kWh PV Solary Energy systems, we harvest rain water to irrigate the fields and our pool is cleaned with sea salt; we use environmentally friendly cleaning products and practice daily a careful differentiated collection of waste. We serve seasonal, traditional, fresh food locally grown in our farm and in other selected Umbrian farms and we focus on local cuisine. We are constantly working to improve the property with renewable energies, recycling, water treatment, organic fertilizer, and sustainable agriculture. Both the Pieve San Quirico castle (Main House), the Tower Palace villa (Guest House), and the Estateâs Offices power plants are connected to the propertyâs 140 kWhPV Solar Energy Systems, effectively making the entire property powered by renewable sources self-produced by the Bagnara Estate itself. The property also features water softener system and Legionella prevention system.
