The Castello di Petroia is a charming 4-star historic complex located in Gubbio (PG), in Umbria. Dating back to the 10th century, this medieval castle is famous for being the birthplace of Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. Carefully and passionately managed by the same family, the Castle offers an authentic and immersive lodging experience, far from the hustle, amidst ancient walls and the unspoiled beauty of the Umbrian countryside.
The rooms and suites are distributed among the three main buildings of the complex (Il Castellare, La Canonica, and La Fattoria). Each accommodation is unique, furnished with antique furniture, precious fabrics, four-poster beds, and stone fireplaces, while ensuring modern comforts. The rooms maintain their historic charm intact. All accommodations feature air conditioning (where permitted by the historic structure), satellite TV, minibar, and complimentary Wi-Fi connection.
The internal restaurant, located in the castle's ancient halls, offers typical Umbrian cuisine and traditional Italian dishes, prepared with local raw materials, including truffle products and game meats. Breakfast, served buffet-style, includes homemade cakes and farm products. Guests can enjoy romantic candlelit dinners and, upon request, participate in Umbrian cooking classes and wine tastings.
An outdoor pool, located on a lawn with a 360-degree panoramic view of the valley, is the perfect spot for summer relaxation. The vast estate surrounding the Castle is ideal for walks and trekking. The Castello di Petroia is also a highly evocative location for weddings, thanks to its frescoed halls and ample outdoor spaces. The structure is self-sufficient due to its production of lavender, truffles, and honey.
The Castle is ideally positioned for exploring Umbria. It is a short distance from Gubbio (about 20 minutes by car), one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Italy, and other gems like Assisi and Perugia. The hotel offers ample complimentary private parking, essential given its secluded location. The staff is available to recommend historical and nature itineraries.

His Opinion: Un Sogno d'altri tempi: Rifugio di Pace e Raffinata Eleganza
Magia, atmosfera d'altri tempi, pace, serenità, comfort avvolgente, eleganza discreta e una cortesia squisita...
Queste poche parole non bastano a rendere giustizia a ciò che la mia compagna ed io abbiamo avuto il privilegio di vivere e respirare durante i due giorni trascorsi in questa magnifica località. Un vero e proprio santuario, sapientemente isolato dal fragore della quotidianità e dal caos cittadino.
La nostra suite era l'emblema della perfezione: impeccabilmente pulita, ordinata in ogni dettaglio e progettata per il massimo relax. La vasca idromassaggio, un lusso inebriante, si è rivelata la ciliegina d'oro su una torta già squisita, coronando i nostri momenti di riposo con un tocco di sublime piacere.
La cena a lume di candela è stata un'esperienza sensoriale indimenticabile. Le luci soffuse danzavano sulla quieta atmosfera, creando un'intimità magica. La sublime cortesia del personale di sala ha contribuito a riscaldare i nostri animi, portando un senso di profonda, appagante pace interiore.
Abbiamo assaporato e apprezzato ogni singolo, prezioso dettaglio di questo soggiorno rigenerante. È stata un'immersione totale nel benessere. Siamo certi che questa esperienza, nuova e profondamente diversa dal solito, sarà non solo ripetuta, ma obbligatoriamente prolungata ben oltre la durata di un semplice weekend.
In conclusione: Un'oasi di pace e lusso da vivere e assaporare in ogni sua sfumatura. Assolutamente consigliato a chi cerca una pausa indimenticabile.
PS: il castello di Petroia si trova a venti minuti da Gubbio, occasione speciale per visitare la città di Don Matteo.

Zu loben ist das Restaurant. Das Restaurantpersonal gibt grossen Einsatz, obwohl es - unverständlicherweise - von fast keinen Gästen besucht wird.

His Opinion: Ci siamo trovati benissimo, il personale è di una cortesia incredibile, ci hanno addirittura concesso di cambiare la suite con un'altra, visto che era ancora libera, scelta quindi dai nostri figli.
E' un ambiente incredibile, da favola, dove ritornare in periodi non di pioggia per godere completamente dell'intera struttura, bosco e piscina compresi.
