Description

L’Aquilone: five holiday homes in the grounds of a former medieval castle in a 12th century village. Ideal for anyone looking for complete peace and relaxation amid the outstanding beauty and utter tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside. Guests have the use of the private swimming pool, set in the middle of a formal raised Italian garden.

The cottages offer a unique atmosphere: the sights, sounds, and perfumes of the Umbrian countryside combine to make this a very special holiday destination; close by also are dozens of centres of cultural interest. The adjoining farm allows guests to sample food products typical of the locality: farm-produced beef and pork, Umbrian ham, olive oil, and honey.

The medieval castle, in the former keep of which the cottages are situated, dates back to the 12th century, and is said to have been visited by Emperor Arrrigo VII of Luxembourg. The old castle was in the centre of the little village of Poggio Aquilone, which is now surrounded by a working farm of 500 hectares.

The holiday houses, while having full modern facilities, have been restored in keeping with their (and the village’s) medieval history, and using original materials. They are built of local stone, ceilings are supported by wooden beams, all floors are made from Umbrian tiles, and the old windows open on to views which have to be seen to be believed.

Guests have the use of the Italian formal garden, where shade is provided by ancient Lebanese cedars, and in the middle of which is the swimming pool, equipped with sun shades, deckchairs, and loungers.
