Castelli di Napoleone is an exquisite estate comprising of a medieval main castle with a stunning octagonal tower built by emperor Frederick II of Swabia, striking tower building, and separate events-only castle, set within 1500 acres of parkland offering nature reserve, lakes, river and farm in the rolling Umbrian hills.
Brimming with opulence and heritage, this owner-managed abode carries all the hallmarks of prestige from generations of noble family ownership. It offers not just sumptuous accommodation, but true hospitality and warmth, from ingredients sourced from the working farm available to buy, to organised local visits drawing upon in-depth knowledge of the local area.
Like a vision rising from the pages of a fairy-tale book, the castle has remained in the same family (descendants of the Bonapartes), since 1901. Set within privacy and seclusion, the majestic estate is faithful to the original structure, whilst offering contemporary comfort for a luxury break.
With sloping terracotta roofs and original stone, the main building is set around a charmingly elegant courtyard, whilst the imperial tower rises majestically, creating a vivid silhouette. The courtyard is fragrant with blossoming plants and lemon trees, dotted with al fresco dining tables and parasols, making a magical setting for dinner parties.
The main house (seven bedrooms) and the hill-top tower (eight bedrooms located across four apartments) can accommodate up to thirty guests; ideal for special occasions, and can set the scene for unutterably romantic weddings, coming complete with a simple, yet striking, church. The main house can be hired alone (with capacity for 15), whilst the guest house can only be hired in addition to the main house (a further 15 guests).
The interiors at the Castelli strike just the right balance between being opulent and lavish, full of historical charm along with cosy comfort and contemporary touches for the modern family. With exposed timber beams, original doors and stone-work, contrasting with a refined, chic and luxuriant aesthetic, guests will enjoy the blend of glamour and history around them.
The living spaces provide abundant character and sedate luxury, with sumptuous tones of jade and cream jacquard upholstery in the drawing room, magnificent original fireplaces and oodles of rococo designer flair. Each of the bedrooms offers its own theme, from the baroque gilded bedsteads, to silk drapes in pistachio greens or salmon pinks, and polished antique furnishings.
Castelli di Napoleone offers a unique, secluded haven of grandeur, ornate style and optional hospitality. This 11th century house and commanding tower strike an opulent interplay between architectural verve and preserved history, offering something magical whether it be a wedding, anniversary, family celebration or occasion, or simply, a beautiful family holiday leaving lasting memories.

Extra Sustainability Gems About the Property
The owners have 139 Kw PV solar panels installed on the roofs of their cattle stable and the garage for farm vehicles and equipment, covering the total energy requirements of the structure. During closing time, the energy is fed into the pipeline of the local electric company.
They've also installed low energy light bulbs in the whole property, for indoor and outdoor lighting as well as solar outdoor lighting for walkways. The pool water has salt water instead of chlorine, and gets cleaned using a filtering system called a salt chlorine generator (the system uses electricity to turn salt into chlorine, which cleans the pool). A saltwater pool won’t have the same harsh effects of a traditional chlorine pool. For example, your hair is unlikely to turn green from swimming in a saltwater pool, and your swimsuit won’t get bleached out - great news!
The owners are heavily focused on revitalising the local community and economy through guided trekking tours, charity work, hiring local staff, promoting local businesses to guests and using local products wherever possible. The farm produces its own Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Chianina veal meat, eggs, honey, organic fruit and veg, and non-GMO flour. Truffles and porcini mushrooms are harvested in the woods too - sustainable food is at the heart of the kitchen, with the chef creating menus focused on organic, natural resources.
Across the 590-hectare estate there are 4 artificial small lakes to capture rain water, which is then used for animals, agriculture, and the castle gardens. Water flow reducers have been installed, too.
Location
About the surrounding area of Castelli Di NapoleoneThe Castelli di Napoleone castles are nestled in a rural spot, in the heart of Umbria, just thirty minutes drive to the Tuscan border, set mid-way between Rome and Florence (each two hours drive away). Both Assisi and Perugia are within easy reach - Assisi, birthplace of St Francis, offers a mystical spot seeped with history and a beautiful historical abbey, whilst the medieval Perugia comes alive during the summer with festivals, music and theatre.
This unique residence offers both rural tranquillity as well as easy access to the peaceful close-by village of Ponte Pattoli, which has all essential amenities including bars, shops and eateries, whilst sports activities are plentiful nearby (riding, tennis and 18 hole golf course.) The beauty of this unique home is that it offers so much within its grounds, that guests have ample to do on their doorstep - the estate has a myriad of walking and biking trails, it offers truffle and mushroom hunting as well as yoga lessons, prepared picnics for luscious walks within unspoilt nature, along ancient trees, wild flowers, lakes, streams and a 6 kilometre stretch of the Tiber river.
The concierge team has excellent local knowledge and can organise anything from cooking classes, to wine and chocolate tastings, or visits to pretty local towns. From thermal pools to medieval cathedrals and olive oil museum, Umbria has an intriguing amount of history to discover.
Nearby Todi is 30 minutes away, Spoleto is 45 minutes away and Orvieto is 60 minutes away. Spoleto boasts a colourful and intriguing history as well as artistic heritage dating back to Roman times; the town itself offers authentically Umbrian winding streets, artisan cafes, crafts-based shopping, as well as the castle and many churches which are centuries-old. Spoleto is known today for its annual summer Festival Dei Due Mondi, a showcase to the region’s music, dance, opera and theatre. Orvieto’s old town is a fascinating series of winding streets and piazzas with a colourful weekly market; the centrepiece is the Duomo, with an underground tunnelling system, and also worth visiting is the antique papal residence, the “Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo.”
Lake Trasimeno, rich with history and cultural heritage is approximately 30 minutes distance. This is a nature lover’s haven, and is home to wild ducks, cormorants, kites and kingfishers. An area of outstanding beauty, visitors will marvel at the majestic woods, sunflower and corn fields, vineyards and olive groves, whilst agriculture is still carried out following traditional techniques. Several charming towns are located on Lake Trasimeno, as well as its islands, visitors can enjoy unspoilt nature and boat trips on the lake.
From Romanesque architecture, to hilltop fortresses, to the funicular up the rock-face of Orient, to the enchanting Fracassi Caves, to the medieval basilica at Assisi, to one of Umbria’s oldest towns Gubbio, Umbria is a gem of discovery, with so much for visitors, along with unfussy yet delicious regional cuisine.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe Castelli grounds offer un-ending opportunity for youngsters to explore within their very own fairy tale castle grounds. Majestic, varied and full of unspoilt nature, little ones can enjoy gentle trails, cycling, whilst there is a children’s playground and options from table-tennis to bocce ball.
Umbria is punctuated with pretty, medieval towns - when drinking up the atmosphere becomes too much, there is always a piazza offering a pizza restaurant or a Gelateria to cool down, as well as an abundance of museums, palaces and historical buildings.
The Cite della Domenica is a zoo just outside Perugia (20 minutes), whilst the Acqua Parck Tavernelle will occupy younger members of the group and certainly tire them out. Umbria has a wonderful amount of family friendly activities, primarily taking advantage of the stunning natural surroundings.
Lake Trasimeno (30 minutes) is ringed with family-friendly beaches and parks, walking and bike trails, and relaxed restaurants and pizzerias. Further up in the surrounding hills, older children can take advantage of a number of scenic walking trails, visit pretty Medieval lakeside villages, whilst parents can sample some of the area’s excellent wine and olive oil.
The most child-friendly beach or a day on the lake is the long stretch near Passignano. With a mix of sandy shore and grassy, shaded park, Sualzo has chairs and umbrellas for hire, a playground, pool, restaurant, and refreshment stand. For the more active families, there is a beach volley ball court and canoes, paddle-boats, and hire bikes.
Marmore waterfalls (1 hour 10 minutes drive) are worth a visit; impressively made by the Romans, an afternoon of rafting will keep those young adventure junkies occupied! Horse riding schools are available locally, to provide wonderful tours through the hills on horseback.

One of the best holidays ever!
We spent a glorious week on this property and would go back again and again. The surroundings, the accommodations, and mostly the incredible host, and her team were incredible…could not have been nicer or more organised and helpful. The food was also incredible. One of our best holidays ever.

Mesmerising
Last fall I ran a truffle culinary tour in Umbria and had the pleasure to share my passion for all good things Italian with countess Zenaide (our gracious host) who welcomed us for a week in her opulent castle. Both my guests and I were mesmerised: the grounds and rolling hills truly breathtaking, the meals we shared in the courtyard spectacular and the rooms well-appointed and very relaxing. Zenaide and her excellent staff made our stay warm, personal and memorable…..and to call a castle home for a week even more delightful. Until we meet again … grazie , grazie mille!
-
What a beautiful place!

Lots of laughter and memories
We’ve have been looking forward to a time to relax and enjoy each other without any other distractions. Our short time in Italy has been rejuvenating, fulfilling and full of fun memories that will last forever. Our expectations have been met and more. We have had time to visit beautiful and spiritual places like Assisi & Greccio and bustling places like Florence, always looking forward to our “dinner feasts” at our castle, that have been full of laughter and memories. Your staff, service and food was memorable for all regardless of age or disposition, and your kind availability to take care of every detail with such love and attention. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, great service and attention to detail. We will never forget this “Very Special Vacation”. A special thank to Marcella and to Ferdinando, Andrea and Tania. And of course a very special thank to Zenaide for being personally involved in making our trip so special and let us stay at a “Home Away from Home”. We will visit again very soon!”
