About this property

Umbria Restored Olive Mill at Castello di Montegiove, Moraiolo

Charming and completely restored 13th century castle olive mill, transformed into a luxurious country house, located just outside the ring wall of Castello di Montegiove.

Montegiove is a lovely and peaceful medieval country village, close to the main communication lines and equidistant of Rome (154 km) and Florence (151 km), it is an ideal base for exploring the historical treasures of Umbria and Tuscany, especially the countryside of the historical provinces of Orvieto, Assisi, Todi, Spoleto, Perugia and Siena.

The house is equipped with satellite television, high speed Internet connection, independent heating, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, laundry facilities and drying rack. The house is furnished in the traditional style of a central Italian manor house with a tasteful combination of antique and modern furniture. Extra maid service and private cook can also be arranged.

The rental includes heating, weekly change of sheets and towels, normal final cleaning and taxes.
Moraiolo: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living/dining-room, kitchen, sleeps: 6.

The ground floor is composed of a large living-dinning room with open fireplace and library, a kitchen with access to a small patio, a master double bedroom with view over the valley and a spacious bathroom with shower. The first floor is composed of a long hall, two double bedrooms one with a beautiful view over the valley, the other with French windows pointing towards the castle. A well-designed modern bathroom with marble sink, bath tub and shower.

The garden has a dining area, comfortable deck chairs and a beautiful view over the valley.

The castle of Montegiove has existed since the early 12th century and has in the last four centuries been the property of the Marchesi Misciattelli.

Today, still family-owned, it is the centre of an estate covering nearly 3000 acres of beautiful Umbrian countryside, where oak forests, vineyards, olive fields and arable land blend in total harmony with ancient dry walls and farmhouses built of local stone.

The principal products of the estate are wine, olive oil, cereals, oil seeds, Chianina beef cattle, forage and forest products and. There is abundant wildlife such as boar and deer, and the local flora including truffles and mushrooms. The beautiful surroundings and unspoiled environment make it hard to believe that Montegiove is only 17 km from Italy's main motorway A1 (Milan - Naples), which also connects Rome and Florence.

During your stay in the Montegiove olive mill you will get the opportunity to be the Misciattelli family's private guest and get a guided tour in the winecellar, at the castle and the surrounding estate.

Stunning
We have had a fabulous week in Montegiove. Easily situated for trips out and remote enough for restful days, this is a beautiful spot. We all enjoyed the pool and the castle tour and the grown ups enjoyed the wine! In addition, Rikke and Lorenzo are super hosts, making guests very welcome. Highly recommended.

Absolutely superb
We had an absolutely wonderful, unique, peaceful, and happy holiday here. The hosts Rikki and Lorenzo couldn't have been more helpful, without ever being intrusive. Our accommodation had everything we needed, was clean, comfortable and authentic. Truly amazing surroundings. You do need a car and it is very quiet here, but Rikki and Lorenzo can offer advice and tips about places to visit, eat and shop. One evening we had a local lady come and cook supper for us - great experience. Infinity pool stunning, shared with other guests.

Incredible place in Umbria
Montegiove is a charming place in the middle of Umbrian countryside. Beautiful castle renovated by Rikke and Lorenzo in a farm estate with cows, vineyard and olive fields. We rented a stylish house next to the castle, comfortable, clean and well furnished. The infinite edge of the pool offers a wide view on a beautiful landscape. Last but not least, Rikke and Lorenzo are very nice hosts : warming welcome, good advice about visits and restaurants, every useful service. We spent a really dream week in Montegiove !

Amazing place to stay! Rikke and Lorenzo were super friendly and helpful hosts.
My friends and I enjoyed the salt water infinity pool, the wine tasting tour, the local people and area, the castle tour, and our lovely castle apartment. Lorenzo and Rikke were super helpful and gave us advice on the surrounding areas and what to see and do. The castle is an excellent place to also chill out and swim in the pool with the beautiful vista view. We all highly recommend this place to stay.

Magnificent Beyond Words
Our family of 5 stayed at Castello Montigiove in September 2017, in the 3 bedroom restored Olive Mill. Prior to our arrival both Rikki & Lorenzo responded to every question and request within 24 hours. Upon arrival we were greeted by Rikki, who was gracious ,welcoming & giving us every reassurance of help and support if needed during our stay. I actually became choked up with happy emotions as the property exceeded my expectations. Our 3 bedroom villa was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. It served as our home base for one week as we toured Tuscany and Umbria. The towns we visited include, Pienza, Buonconvento, Cortona, San Gimignano, Siena, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Civita Bagnoregio, Montelcino,,Bagno Vignoni, & Montegiove. The castle was a perfect location to easily tour one or 2 villages per day, allowing us to truly get to know the region. On two occasions Rikki arranged for a local lady to arrive at our villa and prepare dinner for us. Both meals were fabulous and accommodating gluten free dishes for 2 in our party that has celiac disease. Lorenzo and Rikki gave us a tour of the castle, which was a highlight of our stay. The history, stories, magnificent structures, furnishing and more held us wanting more. Lorenzo's tour of the winery was so very interesting and one can tell he loves to talk about his grapes, wine & harvests. We ate it up! The tour ended with a wine tasting. I wish we could purchase his wine in America. We all purchased several bottles of wine and brought a few tins of his olive oil. The castle has a lovely infinity pool that we used on several occasions. It's a short & beautiful walk from our villa. Be sure to take your camera as one can get magnificent photos of the castle as you walk to the pool. We enjoyed more wine or limoncello as we soaked in the sun and cooled off in the water. I feel honored to have meet Rikki & Lorenzo and to have stayed at their lovely property. I can not imagine a better place in which to stay. If we have the good fortune to return to Italy, it is certain we would stay there again. For anyone researching a place to stay, look no farther! You most definitely will not be disappointed. Thank you to Rikki & Lorenzo for their superb hospitality. Cheryl, Bill, Heather, Justin & Jamie Watterson, USA

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Manager

Host profile image
In 2002 we moved from Copenhagen in Denmark, where we both grew up, to Montegiove to take over the daily management of the family estate “Castello di Montegiove”. We have never regretted this decision, even though the first years in Montegiove were not at all like a fairytale. The castle had to be completely restored; the roofs all had big holes so we spent all rainy days running around with pots and pans to pick up the water. Today the castle has been through a thorough and respectful renovation. Lorenzo: I spent almost all my childhood summers together with my grandfather in Montegiove, following daily life at the estate and in the wine cellar. I still recall adventuring round in the castle and walks in the splendid and unspoiled nature around Montegiove. I always hoped, that one day, I could take care of the estate, and that happened after years of study at the “Royal Veterinarian and Agricultural University” and the “University of Aberdeen” ending up with a Ph.D. and a short carrier as scientist and assistant professor, before moving to Italy. Rikke: I worked with pattern making and designs in the fashion industry before moving to Italy. My big passion is decorating and putting things in order so moving to a place like this where everything needed a loving hand has been a fantastic challenge for me. Today I am the practical person in the household making all ends meet for our busy modern family. We still feel so lucky waking up in the morning and looking out at the beautiful valley, and we are never getting tired of the absolute silence and peace that is so rare to find in the modern world of today. Sometimes the clouds are hanging lower than Montegiove and it feels like we are on an island in the middle of the sea.

Why they chose this property

Lorenzo and his sister inherited the property from their grandfather Paolo. The castle has been in the Misciattelli family since 1780.

What makes this property unique

It is very easy to travel gluten free in Italy. We can provide gluten free kitchen tools and an oven for our Celiac guests and a guide to gluten free restaurants and shopping in the area.
