Castello di Baccaresca
About
Castello di Baccaresca is a living monument of Umbria, a medieval castle dating back to the 12th century that has been lovingly restored into a boutique hotel, spa and gastronomic retreat. Nestled on 240 hectares of unspoilt woodland and surrounded by pristine lakes, the estate offers guests a welcoming blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. The castle’s elegant rooms feature antique décor alongside modern amenities, while the on‑site spa – the Castello di Baccaresca Wellness Center – boasts a Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, multi‑sensory shower, and a Himalayan salt wall, all using bio‑vegan products. Guests can also indulge in authentic Umbrian cuisine prepared by Chef Lina in the castle’s cellar‑style restaurant, featuring wood‑oven pizzas and seasonal dishes sourced from the estate’s own 0‑km produce. With a range of activities such as archery, yoga, horse riding and guided heritage tours, the property is ideal for couples, families, wellness seekers and history enthusiasts looking to experience the natural and cultural riches of Umbria in a tranquil, castle‑setting environment.
