Where Castello di Monterone is, and why the location matters
Castello di Monterone sits at Strada Montevile 3, on the green hills just outside Perugia’s hilltop old town. The castle dates to the 13th century, and its full restoration kept original features such as the Torre del Falco (Falcon Tower) and the cloister. The hotel puts the center about 3 km (2 miles) away, roughly a 10-minute drive, so this is a countryside base with the city close at hand.
That distance shapes the stay. The hotel’s own FAQ says walking into town along the road is possible but not very safe, and it recommends taxis, so plan on a car or cabs for evenings in the centro storico (historic center). In return you get free on-site parking, an outdoor pool, a sauna and Turkish bath, and the Il Gradale restaurant in the castle’s old halls, which makes dinner in an easy option.
Getting there
- From Perugia Airport (PEG): Sant’Egidio is about 10 to 12 km (6 to 7.5 miles) away, around a 21-minute drive as listed. There is no hotel shuttle, but the hotel can suggest local transfer companies.
- From Rome Fiumicino (FCO): about 200 km (125 miles) by road. A private transfer is available for a fee, or rent a car.
- By train: Perugia-Ponte San Giovanni station is about a 12-minute drive as listed; take a taxi from there.
- By car: free self-parking on site, with wheelchair-accessible spaces.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you are driving through Umbria, want a castle setting with a pool and a spa area, and like the idea of eating on site after a day of touring.
Look elsewhere if you want to walk out the door into Perugia’s old town every evening, or you are traveling without a car and do not want to rely on taxis. The hotel notes that its elevator does not serve every room, so ask for a step-free room if that matters, and know that the pool is unheated.
What to do from Perugia
- Walk about 13 minutes (1.1 km / 0.7 miles) to the Templar Complex of San Bevignate, the closest sight to the castle.
- Drive or take a cab to Corso Vannucci and Piazza IV Novembre, then work through our things to do in Perugia.
- Use the car for the wider Umbria region.
