My husband and I spent six nights at this historic castle-hotel, spectacularly situated in the mountains between Gubbio and Perugia. Despite terrific views and fresh, cool air, the location isn't for everyone; the hotel is 20 minutes from the nearest sizeable town (charming Gubbio) and there isn't much going on in the hilltop hamlets of Scritto and Belvedere. The remote... more

A great location BUT you need a car. You are literally in the middle of nowhere. The room we stayed in was good although a bit small to be called a 'deluxe' one. The first night we had supper with the owners and other guests at the Castle itself. Food was good (although not a lot of it!) and so... more

We stayed here for two nights in June a part of a two week holiday. The location and setting of the hotel is amazing, and creates a great first impression. The medieval style is lovely and it made for a great experience. The pool area again is in a wonderful setting, and we truly did feel completely relaxed looking out... more

We stayed here for only one night during a tour of Italy. This castle is amazing, it's medival and has been lovingly restored by it's owners. We had a large suite in the old part of the castle and it was wonderful, thick solid walls with small windows, a huge stain glass entrance doorway, old pictures and amazing views over... more

We were going to be traveling around Italy by car for a month, so decided that we would like to stay in one place for a week. The reviews of the Castle sounded nice so I decided to stay a week and do day trips in Umbria and Tuscany. It was truly magestic to stay in a very large Castle... more

We just returned from a two week vacation in Italy. This hotel was our favorite. There were 3 of us and we stayed in a beautiful room at the top of the castle. All the rooms in the hotel are different. The castle is on a dirt road but there were signs to mark the way. Don't try to find... more

If you are looking for a unique stay then this is the place. It's out-of-the-way South of Gubbio but if you have a car then it's not a problem. There are few staff - make sure you can carry your luggage up a flight of stairs yourself, but the effort is worth it. You will truly feel as if you've... more

Where do I start? From the moment we got there - we knew that, that night would be our favorite night in Italy. That was even before the dinner & breakfast the next day. The grounds are gorgeous and you really do step back in time once you enter that big gates. If you do stay here, you have to... more

Castello di Petroia was our absolute favourite place to stay during our summer visit to Italy and Croatia. After reading other Tripadvisor reviews, we made a point of arriving during daylight hours, but we still had to ask for directions. The castle sits amidst the rolling hills of Umbria – not too far from the towns of Gubbio, Perugia and... more
