Petroia Castle opens its doors to whomever is in search of an oasis of peace and quiet. The peacefulness of the area, the cleanliness of the air, the beauty of nature surround you while living in a refined and welcoming atmosphere ... an atmosphere that is also autentic and ancient. In the Castle is possible to enjoy the warm hospitality of an ancient family which, not wanting to trasform their Castle into a cold museum, preferred to give their guests an opportunity to live a few days as real lords of the Castle.
Petroia Castle is a conglomerate of medieval buildings closed within Castle walls. There are many documents that verify the origins of the Castle, the most important being a decree of the holy Roman Emperor Frederick I, called Barbarossa (Redbeard), dated November 8, 1163.
Since it is situated on a strategic location between Gubbio and Perugia overlooking the Chiascio valley, Petroia Castle was the scene of many important events of the XII, XIII and XIV centuries.
