Making rural simplicity your own development concept is one of the characteristics that unites them scattered country hotels. When simplicity is combined with elegance of forms, the result is a splendid synthesis of nature, noble and peasant culture, just as the owners of the Casigliano Castle, in the province of Terni and a few kilometers from the little gem of Todi.
Casigliano is a small village, a fraction of Acquasparta, developed around the sixteenth-century manor that dominates the Umbrian countryside. Far from any kind of stress, when you stay in this splendid example of widespread hospitality, you become inhabitants of a timeless village and the days are marked only by the rhythms of nature. A rejuvenating journey, among scents, colors, sounds and ancient flavors, almost forgotten. There are two possibilities of stay: the houses inside the village, with the characteristic wooden beams on the ceiling, stone walls and country furniture, or inside the manor, the Primae Noctis Suite, perfect for romantic getaways. By choosing the second option, you have the luxury of sleeping alone inside the ancient castle, surrounded by a fully medieval atmosphere, twelve clicks are required to open the entrance door with its old lock!
The inn of the village is The King Drinks well known throughout Umbria, it has obtained numerous awards from some of the most prestigious food and wine guides. The restaurant is obtained from cellars of the Castle and still maintains the seventeenth-century ribbed vaults and the wooden barrel tables, offering a cuisine that respects tradition and seasonal products.
Going back to being "castellani" in 2012 may seem like an experience totally out of time, but to really get in touch with traditions and culture of a place, nothing is better than immersing yourself in its countryside, in the daily life of the villages and for this reason, the Casigliano Castle offers an excellent opportunity.
