A 12C castle set in the beautiful Apennines. Later, the castle evolved into a village. However, over the years, the village 'slid' down the hill, as the villagers moved to the banks of the River Nero, and, onto the main route linking Spoleto to Rome. The Valnerina main road, from where you can get to practically anywhere in Italy, is at the back of the village of Strettura. Meanwhile, the abandoned Strettura Castle drifted into disrepair and remained as such for several centuries. Then, Paulo, an artist, architect and master builder, embarked on the mammoth task of imaginately converting the derelect Strettura castle into 'a boutique hotel'. And, what a feat he achieved. Packed with hand-crafted tiles, ceramics, artefacts and original features, each self-catering apt is a work of Art. Offering courses in cookery, ceramics, weaving, beer making.....a restaurant, beauty therapies, Turkish 'hammam' baths + 2 pools in your midst, a working village down the hill, here, you have everything.
