Castle of S. Apollinare is an ancient medieval fortress with a 75-hectare agricultural estate, nestled in the rolling green countryside of Umbria.

A property of extraordinary historical and architectural significance, it combines the authentic charm of a 10th-century fortified castle with the elegance and atmosphere of a beautifully preserved period residence.

The castle stands just outside Perugia, crowning a lush hilltop from which it enjoys breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding unspoiled Umbrian landscape.

The interiors include five grand reception halls, several elegant living areas, three kitchens, eleven bathrooms, and an independent 200 sqm apartment with direct access to the 13th-century tower and a magnificent 60 sqm panoramic terrace.

On the lower levels, the ancient cave and wine cellar preserve original architectural features and archaeological remains that bear witness to the site's exceptionally long and fascinating history.
