Photos and Description of this Macerino holiday castle Private pool, Glorious views, fabulous interior design.

PALAZZO MASSARUCCI is a stunning, pink-stone, rustic castle, forming the south wall of the charming village of Macerino, a 16th century village built on the foundations of a medieval fortress, perched on a hillside above Spoleto, Terni and Acquasparta. With large north and south facing windows that invite perfumed cross breezes in summer, the castle also offers skylights, glass roof panels and terraces, that make it an unusually bright and cheery castle with extraordinary views and complete privacy. Palazzo Massarucci has been lovingly restored with an eye to COMFORT, CONVENIENCE, PLEASURE and PRIVACY. It boasts 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 3 double spa tubs, a sauna, a large private swimming pool and lawn and gardens that have stunning views of the Spoleto Valley, and the rugged forests, hills and valleys of the Massa Martana. The castle’s 500 year old stone walls, that reach a thickness of 1.5 meters (5 feet thick) on the ground floor, offer a cool and fresh interior.

Further details for this holiday castle rental in Macerino, Italy

The gardens.: Our grounds are fully landscaped with lush lawns, climbing roses, jasmine that winds to the roof and giant lavender plants that invite butterflies throughout summer. Bulbs and perennials ensure early blooms of colour. Near to Spoleto, Assisi, Todi and other visited Umbrian towns this hilltop is secluded, quiet, romantic and convenient. It offers two neighborhood Restaurants famous for authentic Umbrian cuisine, La Fontana and La Castagnetta. La Fontana is just steps below the castle and also offers cocktails, wine or espresso in the bar. An adjacent property offers additional accommodations. The archaeological Roman site of Carsulae is a hike away and snow skiing is an hour away.

Help Yourself.: Please find everything from picnic blankets, baskets and backpacks. Feel free to open doors and drawers and discover many items for your convenience. The kitchen will normally have basic herbs, salt and pepper and often much more. The vast forests surrounding the castle are rich with truffle, asparagus and mushroom and offer a kaleidoscope of color throughout the seasons.

A bit of history: Palazzo Massarucci was for centuries the seat of the Vicar of Umbria and later owned by Anna Mahler, the sculptress and daughter of the composer Gustav Mahler. In 2002 Palazzo Massarucci was the residence of Sophia Loren as she filmed the Ital/Canadian production of “Lives of the Saints”.

Ski: Skiing is just an hour away.

Other Activities: Picnicing, foraging for asparagus, mushrooms and truffle.

Umbrian Retreat

emfdvm Virginia
Review Submitted: March 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We rented the Palazzo for 4 weeks last summer, staying 2 weeks with 2 other families and 2 weeks with other members of our family. It was idyllic - a once-in-a-lifetime experience. While it is a bit of a drive from anywhere, the beauty of the setting and the spaciousness of the house are ample trade-offs. Even during the hottest days of August, it cooled off beautifully at night and the pool provided recreation and relaxation.

Be aware that it is remotely located. Once we found the "secret back road" to Spoleto, that cut our drive there to about 20 minutes, where there are good-size grocery stores and other urban amenities. However, to get almost anywhere in Umbria took only an hour or two and we were able to take in so many of the delights of this less-known region. But you are also in the mountainous heart of Umbria, with its farms and forests. We even saw an entire family of wild boar cross the road right in front of us one night when returning from a sagra (local food festival - not to be missed!).

The village is charming and provided a great setting to explore and settle in. The local restaurant is excellent and was very accomodating in providing two spectacular dinners for our groups. There is another restaurant just 5 minutes away that made some of the best pizza you could ever want, with an incredible variety of toppings, including truffles!

Spoleto is a great place to explore and very walkable (although a little hilly). Other locations worth visiting: Norcia and the Piano Grande, Montefalco, Orvieto, and Deruta. Assisi is also easy to get to.

We will certainly be returning to Umbria and the Palazzo helped to make the trip there even more magical.

great place

carl05 London
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Great place - we had a big group (17 adults and 5 kids!)and this was such a big rambling building that it absorbed all of us and we weren't on top of each other.
The bedrooms are quite varied - some being really amazing, and others not in the same league.
All-in it is a fabulous classic old building with loads of original features and eccentricities - lovely pool, great views over the mountains, lots of toys for children.
we loved it and had a magical time there

Magical italian get-away

AnPhu Canada
Review Submitted: December 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a family reunion at the Malazzo Massarucci. It was magical. The 'castle' as we called it is beautiful, the interior design is unusual and charming, spectacular views, green and lush -- we felt a world away from anywhere and yet we were just a short walk from cafes and local shops and an easy drive to Spoleto or Rome. There are places to explore in the area but we found it hard to tear ourselves away. Everything was well kept and in good working order and owner was very helpful, gave us lots of suggestions and made the renting process very easy. Would definitely recommend this for a reunion, large gathering or celebration for a special occasion.
