Castello Borgia is located 6km (4 miles) from Passignano Sul Trasimeno and only 26km (16 miles) from Perugia in the area around Trasimeno Lake (the very lake that can be clearly admired from the top of the castle). This dramatic castle is found on a wooded hill, surrounded by a nine-hectare park with centuries-old trees. Once owned by a branch of the famous Borgia family, the castle has medieval origins but the current iteration was built from the end of the 18th century onwards. The owners still occupy part of the building, which is closed to the guests, but completely separate from your own private space and those who stay at the castle will be able to make the most of much of the incredible property.
On the ground floor of the castle there is a well-equipped kitchen with all of the mod-cons that you could need (a dining table, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, wood burning stove for cooking, oven, toaster, iron, Italian coffee machine, American coffee machine, highchair, portable fan) and direct access out to the garden, a spacious dining room, a toilet, a room with vaulted ceilings and doors opening onto the garden where there is a pool table, and a living room with a sofa and satellite television.
The first floor, meanwhile, features the larger, more elaborate formal living room (with plush furnishings, a big old fireplace, and a desk, as well as an exit out onto the balcony), two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, another double bedroom and another bathroom. Then, on the second floor, there is another en suite bedroom with a futon and crib and one with twin beds, a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and another bathroom.
It would be remiss to go without mentioning the incredible and spacious gardens of the property. The leafy, elegant grounds of the castle include a fenced private pool with sun loungers around it and an outdoor shower, a barbecue area, multiple places to dine al fresco, and even a tennis court.
Furthermore, the owners at Castello Borgia offer a range of extra services to even further enhance your vacation that can be arranged upon request and at an additional fee including a maid service throughout your stay, private personalised tours of the surrounding area, cooking lessons in the castle, and for a private chef to come and prepare a meal for you and your fellow guests – even more luxury on top of this dream location!
So, if you want to plan an utterly unforgettable vacation in Umbria then a stay at Castello Borgia is an amazing option for a dream holiday in Italy.
