Castello di Petrata
Castello di Petrata is a beautiful country house situated on a hillside overlooking the magnificent town of Assisi.
The history of the Castello di Petrata is rooted in medieval times, and the original structure was built in 1340, along the Franciscan path that connected Assisi to the nearby village of Gubbio. Born as a villa at the end of the 15th century, it was strengthened by Sperello Sperelli who began to turn it into a true fortress to defend itself from the Baglioni army.
After the period of the jurisdiction of the Sacred Convent, it was transformed into a country house by the Tini family at the end of the sixteenth century and three centuries later it was first acquired by the Affuso family and, in 1996, by Romualdo Landrini and Giuseppina Orbi which has made it the magnificent structure we admire today.
The conservative restoration, lasting 4 years, has allowed to recover the ancient splendour of the dwelling while preserving features, conformation, spaces and original materials, both inside and outside.
The house has rooms and suites, beautiful sitting areas, a games room and a restaurant and bar. Outside there is a swimming pool with sun loungers, a wellness centre and tennis courts. There are beautiful terrace gardens to sit in and relax while taking in the views and plenty of walks through the forest to explore.
We look forward to celebrating our marriage here with you and sharing a weekend at this magical place.
