About Castello Di Petrata

Far from it all, let yourself be carried away by the silence, colours and scents of the soft Umbrian hills, where what counts is the sunset, the perfume of the earth and flowers. A true oasis of peace where Aldo and Giuseppina's family and their staff welcome guests with courtesy and kindness into the warmth of a private residence,for a holiday in harmony with art and nature. Petrata Castle, an ancient 14th century fortress and its annexed chapel, nestles in the midst of gentle hills on a quiet and sunny plain, 600 metres above sea level and only 6 km from Assisi. Its position of dominance in the surrounding countryside, allows it an wide panoramic view of Assisi and the Umbrian valley. Thoroughly renovated and elegantly furnished, Petrata castle is surrounded by a park of 20 hectares, in which secret romantic corners nestle among the orchards, woods, olive groves and green meadows. In the shade cast by the trees, your walks will be accompanied by the perfume of aromatic herbs and flowers. The castle offers 2 suites, 5 Junior Suites and 16 Standard Rooms, with beams, wooden trusses and bare stone walls, each one uniquely decorated with period furniture and precious fabrics.
