Immerse yourself in place rooted in history
A symbol of nobility and beauty
Castello di Solfagnano, nestled in the Umbrian countryside, tells a story intertwined with the lives of noble families and epochal transformations. Born in the Middle Ages as a defensive structure, the castle evolved over time thanks to the vision of illustrious owners such as the Antinori family, who transformed it into a noble villa during the Renaissance, enriching it with gardens and parks inspired by Roman estates.
In the 19th century, under the ownership of the Bennicelli family, the estate experienced another phase of splendor: tree-lined avenues, exotic gardens, and modernizations were introduced, making it a model of rural architecture. In the 20th century, the villa hosted notable figures and suffered damage during World War II. After decades of transformations, today Castello di Solfagnano stands as a symbol of history and beauty, a place where tradition and innovation blend, offering a unique experience to its visitors.
