Nel Castello

Inside the ancient walls of the Fontignano Castle, the Bed and Breakfast welcomes guests to a place steeped in history and surrounded by the tranquility of the Umbrian hills. Located just 20 km from Perugia, it is situated in the village where Pietro Vannucci, known as the Perugino, passed away in 1523, leaving unfinished the Nativity work that is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The establishment offers accommodations in two double rooms equipped with all comforts and private bathrooms, heated according to the season at no extra charge. Guests receive a set of keys, allowing them to enjoy their stay with complete independence and freedom. The location, within a small medieval castle surrounded by greenery, provides breathtaking panoramic views and an atmosphere of genuine relaxation in close contact with nature.

It is the perfect place to rediscover the charm of the past and rejuvenate both body and spirit, customizing each day with moments of peace and excursions to explore a valuable natural and archaeological heritage. The proximity to the main art cities of Umbria allows for a balance between rest and the discovery of a rich cultural legacy.

The serenity that envelops these hills evokes the atmospheres painted by the Perugino, a master of Raphael. Just a short walk from the property is the Church of the Annunciation, which houses his tomb and a beautiful fresco of the Virgin with Child, where the gentle features and contemplative gaze of the Madonna stand out against a landscape that recalls the beauty of the Umbrian hills. It is a place that tells stories of art, history, and nature, offering an authentic and captivating experience.
