Welcome
to the Castello di Santa Maria
The origins of the Castle go back to the 13th Century when a hermitage was built on the ruins of a pagan temple.
Much later, in the 16th Century, it was enlarged by the Congregation of
the Servants of Mary. In the 18th Century the Convent was entrusted to
the Bagnoregio Diocese and stayed in its hands until just after the First
World War when it was sold to private
owners. The frescoes, attributed to Lorenzo da Viterbo (1440), may still
be admired
in the Church. Now completely restored,
accommodation is available either in rooms in the original convent or
newer annexes.
We 
use only fresh natural ingredients in our kitchens, most of
them produced on our own farm where we grow fruit, olives and grapes and
raise poultry, farmyard animals and pigs on 20 hectares of land. All meals
are served in the original convent refectory.
