Feature

Seeking history, luxury and a completely unique, tailor-made Italian experience? Live like royalty at a castle turned upscale villa in the heart of rural Umbria, Italy, at Le Torri di Bagnara — with luxury and history to spare.

This stunning estate boasts more than 1,500 acres of unspoiled Italian countryside, complete with a working farm and ancient farmhouse, Tiber river running through the property and an 18th-century church.

While this may sound like a rural oasis, it’s actually a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comforts. Between the main house, Pieve San Quirco Castle’s seven bedrooms (with en suite restrooms), 15 beds and two guest bathrooms, paired with the High Tower’s four apartments with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and 15 beds — this venue is fit for the whole crew of friends, family or colleagues.

With a team of dedicated staff included with your stay, it’s safe to say you won’t just feel at home at Le Torri di Bagnara, you’ll feel like nobility. And while the 11th-century digs may seem old-fashioned, the amenities and accommodations are completely modern. Each bedroom includes individually controlled heating and air-conditioning; luxury linen and towels; a hairdryer; Floris bath sets, including shampoo, conditioner, body soaps and more; an en suite bathroom with bathtub, rain shower or whirlpool bathtub (as is featured in the castle); shower or bathtub (located in the tower apartments); mini fridge in castle bedrooms and full kitchens in Tower apartments; safe box; WiFi; flat-screen TVs; and much more. Read the full lineup of features here.

Spend the day truffle hunting on property, strolling through olive trees and viewing wildlife before enjoying an authentic al fresco Italian meal with friends. Experience the area of Umbria and Tuscany at your leisure with expert guidance, planned itineraries or simple self-guided exploration on your own time. The resort offers complete freedom to come and go as you please with as much activities or leisure time as you want.

Another standout of the property, beyond its sheer beauty and endless possibilities for guest experiences, is its rental property license. Only 10 percent of Italian villas and castles actually have a hotel license, making Le Torri Bagnara one of the few complying with safety and security regulations.

Adding more significance to the ancient building, it’s actually owned by descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte, adding to its historical charm. Inquire about rates and services here for more information.
