Castello Izzalini
Placed on a hilltop, near the border with the Tiber Valley. Castello Izzalini, an ancient medieval hamlet built at the beginning of XIII Century, is one of the most evocative villages around Todi. Todi is the Umbrian town best known for having been elected as the "most liveable town in Italy" by the University of Kentucky in the early 1990's. Castello Izzalini’s ancient construction has been refurbished to high standards and equipped with all comforts. The restoration works were carried out in close co-operation with the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali (The Italian equivalent of English Heritage), using traditional materials and with great attention towards the architectural importance of the buildings.

The ancient fortress, which was once home of the great monarch Ezzelino III, overlooks the Tiber river valley (sacred river to the Romans). Palazzo Izzalini today is “home” to 15 elegant apartments. Fine and elegant furniture, hard wood flooring, warm colours, fine Italian ceramics and mosaics of Bisazza contribute to create an enchanting atmosphere. All the apartments are equipped with kitchen facilities and modern technologies as LCD Plasmas, Satellite TV and WìFì high speed internet connection.
The village is surrounded by a large proprietary forest of 16,000 sqm (buildable lot), suitable for different purposes: activities, garden, cultivation (e.g.: vineyard, olives, truffles), etc.

The position is panoramic, reserved and quiet, although being only 10 km from Todi’s historical centre and the E45 motorway. From here you will be able to experience Todi, Orvieto, Perugia, Assisi, Terni, Spoleto, Spello, Lake Trasimeno, Castiglione del Lago, Deruta and many more splendid “pearls where history can be lived again”!
