Castello di Petroia Dimora d'Epoca

We stayed one night at the Castello just before Christmas and enjoyed it immensely! It combined old world charm with modern comforts, with delicious meals as well! The rooms were warm and spacious, with decor that makes you feel you’ve just stepped into a fairy tale. The staff were friendly and accommodating, addressing our many queries in the months leading up to the stay; and while we were there, granted us access to the old tower for breathtaking views. Wished we could have stayed longer. Would recommend this as a once in a lifetime experience when visiting Umbria. 我们在圣诞节前夕在城堡住了一晚，度过了非常愉快的时光！ 它将古老的魅力与现代的舒适相结合，还提供了美味的餐食！ 房间温暖宽敞，装饰让人感觉仿佛置身于童话世界。工作人员友好且乐于助人，在我们入住前的几个月里，耐心解答了我们许多问题；而在我们入住期间，还允许我们进入古老的塔楼，欣赏到令人叹为观止的美景。 真希望能待得更久一些。强烈推荐这是一个不可错过的独特体验。

I can't say enough about what a wonderful stay we had here. I unfortunately broke my foot on day 2 of the trip, and the entire staff bent over backwards to help us get to the hospital, change rooms, extend our stay, etc. They provided what we needed at every turn, and I will be forever grateful. We ate dinner at the lodging every night, and it was wonderful -- so much easier than driving out to find a restaurant at night. Overall, just a lovely stay, and the entire staff went out of their way to treat us well. That's something you don't often find these days.

My mother and I spent 4 nights at the Castello di Petroia in July 2022. My experience was completely magical. We were visiting during a historic heat wave ( unfortunately) with highs 104 F! ) The staff did everything possible to keep us cool- taking special care to offer my mother extra fans. The rooms remained a comfortable cool temperature in spite of the heat. I would imagine during normal weather the heat would not be a problem at all as there are wonderful breezes off the valley. The castle feels like a real castle! It is like staying in a slice of history but most of the rooms are quite modern. The grounds are beautiful with magnificent views of the hillside. The pool is lovely and refreshing- a short walk down hill from the castle. There are lovely trails to explore but since the castle is at the top of the hill-- what goes down must come back up :) The staff of the castle was incredibly kind and accommodating. They arranged a taxi to Gubbio for a day visit ( definitely recommend! 20 min away). The restaurant was lovely for dinner. We ate there all 4 nights. There was plenty variety on the menu not to duplicate. the food was delicious and very authentic---quite reasonable prices and exquisite wines. one night there was a BBQ of roasted meats ( amazing) and then a star gazing lecture. During the summer they serve dinner outside on the patio in between the castle buildings- just lovely. The breakfast is a large spread. they do not serve lunch at the castle- but i would stash away a small plate of meat, cheese and fruit in my mini-fridge for later. that was quite sufficient. I also enjoyed a morning of truffle hunting with Stella-- it was a super fun experience! It is definitely an active experience on the steep hiking trails. Castello di Petroia is one of the top places I have stayed in Italy. It is still family owned. We would see the owners at dinner every night-- it really felt like you were there as their special guest. This is the hotel to visit if you want to take in the slow pace of Umbria ( which is what it is all about!) Go and contemplate the history and beauty of this ancient land. Eat local food, drink delicious wine, hike in the hills and dream under the stars. I hope to return soon!

Came here on a painting course organised by The Winslow Art Centre. We were the only guests so had the run of the place. We were so well looked after and fed. The spread at breakfast was above and beyond what you would expect. I had to be very strict with myself. Nothing was too much trouble, even down to clearing all the heavy tables and chairs in the dining room to make a temporary studio on a rainy day. The rooms were very spacious and all very different. I didn’t have a bath but prefer a shower anyway but I believe most of the other rooms had them. My bed was very comfortable and changed regularly. I would have liked a kettle in my room but that’s a minor detail and I’m sure if I had asked, I’d have got one. If travelling independently, a car would be essential as the castle is rather remote but that is the charm of the place.
