Inaugurated in 2009 after four years of meticulous renovation, this unique historical residence has been transformed into the ultimate destination for a unique holiday in Umbria. Villa Caselli is situated near an untouched village, surrounded by forests, and meadows, and near the waters of the river Chiascio. The castle can be rented as a private retreat and is the ideal location for family or friends reunions.
The castle is part of an estate of 500 hectares, where forests and fields offer a variety of paths for horse riding and itineraries for amazing walks. A beautiful garden of 5.000 m2 surrounds the castle, with its rose garden, century-old trees, and a large swimming pool.
The owners of the estate are descendants of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte and they have elegantly furnished the living areas and bedrooms in the empire style with the family’s antique furniture.
Bedrooms have been constructed in the watchtower, two of them so large that they cover the entire perimeter of the tower.
The kitchen is a highly functional, professional stainless steel kitchen and is intended for use only by professional chefs and is more than adequate for catering for wedding receptions or parties. It has direct access to the inner courtyard of the castle as well as the other outdoor areas.
The guest quarters are independent but are also connected to the castle by an old secret passageway. Wheelchair users are welcome.
Together with the guest quarters, Villa Caselli can accommodate up to thirty guests. On request, a chef can be hired to provide dinner which may be enjoyed in the magnificent setting of the courtyard within the wonderful castle walls or otherwise outside the castle in the terrace area in front of the park, close to the kitchen.
The location of the castle allows for relaxed morning and afternoon excursions to Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi and Cortona. In addition, day trips to Siena, Florence, Montepulciano and Orvieto can easily be arranged. Staying at Villa Caselli means having a wonderful holiday in the place of your dreams, where you may find yourself recalling the feeling of being a ‘lady or a knight of the court’ in a natural and historical setting and where you cannot help forgetting the daily trials and tribulations of the 21st century.
