A Medieval Fortress Wedding Above Assisi.

A 14th-century fortress on 50 Umbrian hectares above Assisi, Castello di Petrata wraps weddings in ancient stone, La Limonaia glass hall, panoramic terraces with direct views of the basilica below, and zero-kilometre farm-to-table cuisine from the estate's own olive groves and truffle grounds. Twenty-two rooms sleep the whole wedding party within the castle walls.

Vows, Terraces and a Truffle Kitchen.

Castello di Petrata hosts weddings for up to 250 guests across a 14th-century fortress and its 50-hectare Umbrian estate above Assisi. Couples marry in the gardens or in La Limonaia glass hall, celebrate on the panoramic terraces with views to the basilica below, dine on food drawn from the estate's own olive groves, truffle grounds and farm kitchen, and stay in 22 rooms within the castle walls. The exclusive couple's spa, with its outdoor jacuzzi above the Assisi valley, brings the celebration to a close in proper Umbrian style. Pricing is offered on enquiry.

Olive Oil, Truffles and the Umbrian Table.

The castle restaurant draws its menu from the estate's own Azienda Agricola: olive oil from the grove, truffles from the tartufaia, salami and fresh pasta made daily. A contemporary Umbrian cuisine that owes everything to the land within the gates and nothing to the supermarket shelf.
