3 bedroom apartment near Montegabbione, Terni, Umbria
Medieval Castle of Montegiove
Unspoiled Beautiful Umbrian Countryside
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
The castle of Montegiove lies in a beautiful forest-covered hilltop overlooking the historical border between the medieval city-states of Orvieto and Perugia. The castle of Montegiove has existed since the early 12th century and has in the last 4 centuries been the property of the Marchesi Misciattelli. Today, still family-owned, it is the centre of an estate covering nearly 3000 acres of beautiful Umbrian countryside, where oak forests, vineyards, olive fields and arable land blend in total harmony with ancient dry walls and farmhouses built of local stone. The principal products of the estate are wine, olive oil, cereals, oil seeds, forage and forest products. There is abundant wildlife such as boar and deer, and the local flora including truffles and mushrooms. The beautiful surroundings and unspoiled environment make it hard to believe that Montegiove is only 17km from the A1 motorway exit "Fabro".

Further details
The completely restored 13th century guest wing (later partially used as olive mill), with its 2 spacious and luxurious apartments, is situated just outside the ring wall of the castle, which today is located in a small village with less than 100 inhabitants, but was once an independent parish with its own town council. Since Montegiove is close to the main communication lines and equidistant of Rome (154 km) and Florence (151 km), it is an ideal base for exploring the historical treasures of Umbria and Tuscany, especially the countryside of the historical provinces of Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Perugia and Siena.
