Castello di Giomici dates to the 11th century and rises on a panoramic hill between Gubbio, Assisi and Perugia. Once a medieval fortress, it is today a historic residence that welcomes guests with charm, authenticity and modern comforts. The castle was recently fully restored and converted into a welcoming property.
The rooms and suites preserve original elements such as wooden beams, stone walls and old fireplaces, enriched with elegant furnishings; independent apartments with kitchens are also available for families or longer stays. All rooms have views of the surrounding hills and the Apennines.
The castle's position between three of Umbria's most historically significant towns — Gubbio, Assisi and Perugia — gives it a genuinely practical geographic advantage among the region's castle-hotels, rather than a purely scenic or symbolic one.
The recent, comprehensive restoration of Giomici, preserving original wooden beams, stone walls and fireplaces, reflects the now-common approach across this collection of balancing historic authenticity with contemporary comfort rather than either extreme.
The availability of independent apartments alongside traditional rooms gives Giomici flexibility for both couples seeking a classic hotel stay and families or groups wanting self-catering autonomy within the same historic property.
