Property details

Wander the ancient streets of an idyllic Umbrian village famous for a history of glassmaking from an ancient converted oil mill with beautifully restored bedrooms – includes breakfast and late check-out
  • Stay amongst history: Set amongst the ancient stones of a medieval village, Ca' De' Principi - Residenza D'epoca nestles within terracotta roofs, winding streets and pretty gardens. The building has been transformed from a granary and oil mill into a stylish abode, where the rooms are decked out in frescoes, beamed ceilings and antique furnishings.

  • Cool off in style: On warm days, make beeline for the hotel’s shimmering swimming pool, which sits within the idyllic courtyard gardens. Laze on a lounger under the sun or rest in the shade under the quiet loggia. From the pool you can enjoy a stunning vantage point over the beautiful rolling hills behind the village – it’s enough to distract you from your holiday reading.

  • Start the day right: Begin each morning with a cornucopia of local delights, from cured meats and delicate cheeses to freshly cooked eggs and soft, savoury breads. As always with an Italian breakfast spread, there are sweet treats like fresh fruit and homemade tarts, breakfast cakes and delicious jams and preserves.

How to get there

The hotel is set in the Umbrian hills, a 40-minute drive from San Francesco d’Assisi Airport just outside Perugia. Rome’s Fiumicino Airport is an alternative, approximately two hour’s drive away.

Synonymous with rolling vineyards, ancient hilltop towns and traditional cuisine, it doesn’t get much more beautiful than Umbria, nicknamed the ‘Green Heart of Italy.’ Discover the region’s breath-taking rural landscapes with picturesque hiking, cycling and horseback riding routes and whistle-stop winery visits, or simply take it all in from the comfort of your historic abode. Take a trip out to Lake Trasimeno, about 25 minutes away, and hire a bike to pedal around the cycle path that borders the lake, or swim in the clear, fish-filled waters.

Umbria’s undisputed cultural highlights are the cities of Assisi and Perugia, both under an hour’s drive away and known for their medieval architecture, magnificent churches, and museums housing Italian Renaissance masterpieces. Why not follow in the steps of St Francis of Assisi, Italy’s legendary 13th-century mystic, with a scenic road-trip down the Via di San Francesco? You’ll start from the Sanctuary of La Verna and pass through Gubbio and Perugia on the way to Assisi’s UNESCO-listed Basilica, the saint’s final resting place and home to world-famous paintings by Cimabue, Giotto and many more.
