Karen's Review Of
Castello di Proceno:
Castello di Proceno:
The fascinating Castello di Proceno is in the Lazio region bordering Tuscany and Umbria. This unique accommodation combines historical context, authentic ambiance, unspoiled landscapes, regional foods and wines, and congenial hosts. The Cecchini Bisoni family, owners of this 12th-century hilltop fortress for many generations, have done an outstanding job of restoring some of the farmers’ quarters that make up part of the village grouped around the tower. They modernized plumbing, electricity, and heating systems without disturbing the innate quaintness of these stone dwellings. In addition, Signora Cecilia is a passionate decorator and has artistically displayed the family’s antique collections and restored furniture. The restaurant, complete with cantina and fireplace, leads to a labyrinth of tunnels and stairways connecting to four of the apartments, while the remaining four are located in the fortress attached to the ancient pentagonal walls of the tower and castle, in a wooded area leading down to the pool. All apartments have one or two bedrooms and a kitchenette and all feature both a fireplace and garden area or terrace. For shorter stays, the bed and breakfast formula is available within a choice of four suites. Summer concerts accompanied by a buffet dinner in the castle's park are a highlight.

Having just returned from a week at the Castello, we could not imagine a better place to stay to explore that region of Italy. The Castello is located in the sleepy walled community of Proceno, a town of just a few hundred residents. It has to be one of the most peaceful places on earth, it was so silent most of the time that you felt you were the last people on earth.
The rooms were beautiful, and the people spectacular. If you needed anything, they were there for you. If you...

The Castello di Proceno, a 12th century fortress, is the most charming, peaceful and captivating place I ever visited. Situated near Orvieto, Proceno is in the heart of central Italy and connected to the most important cities and historical centres of this part of the country, where the great Etruscan history is present everywhere. The Cecchini Bisoni family has waked up this sleeping beauty. Wonderful furnished rooms, suites and appartments with every comfort receive the visitors who will spend...
