🏰 Castello di Proceno: Sleep in a Medieval Village Between Lazio, Tuscany, and Umbria

Where hospitality becomes a journey through time

In the heart of the ancient Via Francigena, between the borders of Lazio, Tuscany, and Umbria, lies a place that enchants with authenticity and beauty: Castello di Proceno. But calling it simply a “castle” would be an understatement. This is not just a place to stay—it’s a village to inhabit, a place to walk among centuries-old walls and experience an encounter between history, hospitality, and charm in perfect balance.

🏡 A Scattered Hotel Built from Medieval Stone

Castello di Proceno is one of the pioneers of the albergo diffuso concept. Its rooms are not gathered under one roof, but spread throughout the ancient village houses, carefully restored and transformed into elegant apartments and suites.Each comes with a private entrance, garden or terrace, period furnishings, and modern comforts—all within a context that has preserved its medieval soul.

🌿 History, Charm, and High-Level Amenities

• 🏊 Outdoor pool with panoramic views

• 🍷 Restaurant and wine cellar within the castle walls

• 📚 Library, panoramic terraces, gardens, and courtyards

• 🐾 Pet-friendly, free Wi-Fi, private parking, shuttle on request

The castle also hosts a small medieval museum, walking paths along the ancient ramparts, and salons preserving original elements from the 13th to 15th centuries.

📚 A Place with a Soul

Built between the 13th and 15th centuries to defend the village from valley invaders, the castle has belonged for centuries to the Cecchini family, who still manage it today with passion and historical reverence.The restoration was carried out with philological care: not a tourist set, but an authentic, lived-in place.
