Tale of Two Cities

Discover the treasures and absorb the cultural and artistic riches of two beautiful cities: Perugia and Rome. You will stay for 3 nights at each of our two selected venues.

Arrive at Perugia Airport and take a private transfer to Il Castello, overlooking Perugia, where you will stay for three nights. Delle Dame is your enchanting honeymoon suite, a deeply romantic room located in one of the turrets of the castle with original frescoed walls, antique furniture and large windows on three walls overlooking Perugia. Mystery and intrigue surround this castle which dates back to the 13th century. There is no explanation for the unusual symbols on the walls and in some of the rooms of the castle. However, recent renovations have revealed a secret passage running underneath the castle, leading to the nearby Templar church. Many have suggested a link between these symbols and those that appear on the Knights Templar Church. The cloisters of the castle provide the perfect setting for a candle-lit "aperitivo". Dinner is then served on the castle terrace with spectacular views of Perugia. The city itself offers plenty of scope for discovering art and culture. It is also a centre of chocolate making and has beautiful shops and smart cafes. At the end of the day, relax at the spa centre in the hotel which is complete with a heated outdoor Jacuzzi and pool, and a Turkish bath.

From Perugia, head south to Rome to La Tenuta, our hotel situated in the quiet hills overlooking the "eternal city". Set in a private estate where they produce Frascati wine, La Tenuta has a stunning honeymoon suite with a terrace. Although it is a small hotel with just 12 rooms, it has excellent facilities, including tennis courts, swimming pool and horse riding nearby. The hotel is also within walking distance of the nearby historic town where there are plenty of restaurants, shops and cafes. As evening falls, the owner of the hotel arranges wine tasting from his own local production. Best of all, La Tenuta has excellent train and bus connections. You can be in the centre of Rome within 35 minutes.

Prices from £495 per person based on 6 nights bed and breakfast accommodation at Il Castello near Perugia in Umbria and La Tenuta in Rome.
