The Castello Cortevecchio is a deluxe hotel, located in a rural area of Umbria, approximately 45 miles north of Rome. This excellent regional cooking utilizes local meats and vegetables, as well as the local truffles and mushrooms. The area is great for hiking or mountain biking. This hotel offers onsite dining and access to recreational areas. The suites are located inside the castle itself. These are equipped with a kitchenette, antique furniture and wood-beamed ceilings. The standard rooms are located in stone "dependences" (cottages) located on the grounds of the castle. This unique hotel is built inside a small castle, set on a hilltop, surrounded by a huge park. Each dependence has only four guestrooms and each room has its own furnished terrace. The hotel serves delicious, Umbrian cuisine prepared in an age-old style, with a distinct flavor. The Castello Cortevecchio is near the beautiful medieval town of Guggio, not far from Perugia. The charming and peaceful landscape is accessible by pathways leading into the surrounding woods and hills. |
