A 5-star Relais & Chateaux resort set in a fortified 17th-century mansion on a hilltop estate overlooking the Nestore Valley near Perugia. The property combines a spa, outdoor pool, and gardens with refined dining at the Cedri restaurant across a 20-hectare estate.
Borgo dei Conti Resort is a five-star Relais & Chateaux property occupying a fortified seventeenth-century mansion on a wooded hilltop at Monte Petriolo, about 20 minutes southwest of Perugia and overlooking the Nestore Valley. The 20-hectare estate of holm oaks, cypresses and Italian gardens gives the resort a secluded country setting while remaining within easy reach of Perugia, Assisi, Lake Trasimeno and the Umbrian wine villages. The historic villa and its outbuildings have been restored to retain frescoed salons, vaulted ceilings and period detail, paired with contemporary comforts. Accommodation ranges from Executive Rooms to Junior Suites, Garden Suites and the spacious Grand Suite Colonica, many with valley views, antique furnishings and modern bathrooms. Dining is a highlight: the Cedri restaurant serves refined Umbrian and Mediterranean cuisine on a panoramic terrace, supported by an extensive cellar of regional wines, and breakfast is an unhurried buffet of local and homemade products. The resort's spa offers treatment rooms, a sauna and wellness rituals, while a large outdoor swimming pool sits amid the manicured gardens with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. The atmosphere is calm and romantic, with attentive concierge service, ample free parking and the feel of a private estate. Beyond the estate, guests are well placed for day trips to Assisi, Todi, Deruta's ceramics workshops and the vineyards of Torgiano and Montefalco, while the gardens and woodland trails invite quiet walks closer to home. Borgo dei Conti is a popular choice for weddings and special occasions as well as couples seeking a quiet rural base for exploring central Umbria. Rates typically run from around EUR 700 to EUR 1,500 per night depending on season and room category, reflecting its Relais & Chateaux standing and the exclusivity of the hilltop location just a short drive from Perugia's medieval centre.
