Castello II is a medieval castle built by Frederick II of Swabia in the 11th century. The private housing estate consists of a beautifully furnished original antique furniture residential area, the tower and the small consecrated church. The property has been flagged as one of the 10 most beautiful houses in Umbria by Architectural Digest magazine, published by Condé Nast.
The castle is surrounded by a large agriculture & livestock farm, a 600-hectare territory consisting of plains, forests, meadows and pastures as well as herds of hares, deer and Chianina cattle, crossed by the river Tiber and dotted with small lakes, waterways and medieval castles.
The 5000-m2 garden has been designed by the famous landscape architect Alberto Margheriti, with many varieties of flowers blooming all year round, trees, oaks, olive and cherry trees, pomegranate bushes, lavender and rosemary, and a botanical herb garden. Right in the middle of the garden stands a large fan-shaped swimming pool, with a fantastic view over the whole Tiber Valley and a large wooden gazebo. The garden is also equipped with table tennis, a children’s playground, free WIFI, a stone barbecue, a large outdoor dining table and suggestive atmospheric night lighting.
The garden also features table tennis, a playground for children, free Wi-Fi, a stone barbecue, a large outdoor dining table, and attractive night lighting.
