CASALE DELLA STAFFA

The agriturismo Casale della Staffa is located in the hilly surroundings of Montemelino di Magione (PG), just 15km from the historical town of Perugia and its many attractions.
The hotel is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, being part of the medieval estate ‚Conti Conestabile della Staffa’ which is still owned by this family.

All rooms are bright, airy and elegantly furnished with antiques.
