Built on the ruins of a Roman villa, Castelluccia Castle is among green countryside, a few kilometres north of Rome. Surrounded by woods and Italian gardens, the perfect refuge for a relaxing holiday or weekend.

The castle has various terraces: the Magnolia Terrace which overlooks the Orange Garden; the Fountain Terrace surrounded by old pine trees; the Count’s Terrace, ideal for refreshments or aperitifs; the Tower Terrace for Tower Suite guests’ exclusive use and from where you can see the sea on clear days.

The “La Locanda” restaurant is splendid with its light medieval architecture: cross vault arched ceilings, semi-circular stone arches, original terracotta flooring and a large fireplace - all creating a fascinating environment.

Facilities are: half-Olympic size swimming pool surrounded by rich vegetation of palm trees, privets and cedars; health centre, a little oasis of pleasure where you can relax by immerging yourself in the bubbling waters of the Jacuzzi or the warm vapours of the Turkish bath; and four of the area’s best golf clubs a few kilometres from the castle
