Castello Orsini

Castello Orsini HOtel is located near the Via Salaria just a few kilometers by car north of Rome – but its atmosphere is centuries away in time. From its majestic hillside locale overlooking the verdant Sabina countryside and Lucretti Mountains, this exceptional property vividly reflects life as it was in a medieval Italian castle. The entrance to the property is certainly a dramatic one, winding through the alleyways of the ancient village below and across the drawbridge of the massive, 10th century fortress that looks much as it did when it was built as a bulwark against invading Saracens and Hungarians. Today, however, everyone is welcome within its walls. Carefully restored as a monument of living history, the castle serves as a special venue for cultural events, artistic performances, meetings, family gatherings, and celebrations of all kinds. It is also a first class hotel, filled not only with period antiques, furnishings, linens, weaponry, and artwork, but also with top-of-the-line guest services and amenities. After marveling at the beauty and spaciousness of your room, you may never want to leave. Nonetheless, this property encourages hours of exploration, from the lavishly decorated halls to the beautiful gardens with their fountains and ancient statuary to the panoramic views from the outdoor swimming pool. If all that isn’t relaxing enough, the on-site spa offers a variety of restorative treatments designed to rejuvenate and beautify. At the end of the day, share your experiences over dinner at one of Castello Orsini’s three restaurants, each offering exceptional local, regional, and international cuisine and wines. If you think you felt like royalty before, just wait until you dine underneath the beautifully frescoed arched ceilings of the magnificent Knight’s Hall.
