The Castle is in a unique location which will allow its guests to enjoy a stay in the very same rooms were relevant historical characters once lived. The imposing castle stands on a hill that overlooks the valley up to Mount Cucco on a wide bend of the river Chiascio, in the municipality of Gubbio. Immersed in an untouched landscape, rich with woods, meadows and streams of water, it establishes its history in the Middle Ages when it was the fortress of the defense of the Municipality of Gubbio against that of Perugia. It has never been conquered even by the Dukes of Montefeltro who unfortuntely succeeded to tear down its mill which was then rebuilt and is still existing. Only in 1431 the castle passed to the Urbino family. Here Federico da Montefeltro established his favorite hunting lodge. It is said that the Duke himself usually enjoyed his days in the hunt of fallow deers and wild boars that still populate the estate. From 1830 the property passed to the family that still owns the residence and has direct descent from Napoleon Bonaparte.
