Do you remember "Under the Tuscan Sun"? It’s a bit like that film, only better. Because here we have Umbria and a real castle! Albert and Inger, a couple from the Netherlands, found their Italian "dolce vita" at an altitude of 800 meters, in a castle from 1266 with a view of the mountains. Instead of ruling a kingdom, they invite guests to stay.

Kids, get ready for an adventure! A truffle hunt like in an action movie. Making pizza like little chefs. Cinema under the stars. Painting, treasure hunting—a holiday schedule filled to the brim. There’s no room for boredom here.

And parents? Don’t worry, they thought of you too. With pasta-making courses, you’ll feel like the main characters from "Eat, Pray, Love." Gather vegetables straight from the garden. Cycle through picturesque villages. Or just relax after three-course dinners. Clear your head with a walk or find your balance with some yoga.

Does the idea of a relaxing stay in a castle with kids occupied by Italian attractions convince you? Plus, a straightforward route via Flaminia leads you to Assisi, and at the end, a real castle awaits. Borgo Castello Panicaglia—this is where your Italian adventure begins. Camera... action... la Dolce Vita!
