Loc. Ronti, Morra,
Citta di Castello, 06010 - Perugia - Italy

Palazzo Terranova has received world wide acclaim as one of the finest luxury hotels in Italy.  With its twenty hectare garden of olive groves, citrus trees, vineyards and pastures of wild flowers, the hotel exists in harmony with its secluded corner of Umbria.  High among the hills and valleys of Umbria, 20 minutes from the town of Città di Castello, Cortona, Assisi, and in the centre of Renaissance Italy, guests are welcomed with faultless hospitality. 

With 10 bedrooms, each individually decorated in colours inspired by Piero della Francesca, Terranova is an Umbrian jewel filled with convivial guests, good wine and excellent food.

Guests can enjoy intimate lunches and dinners in Palazzo Terranova's vaulted dining room and have lunch and dinner on the outside terrace during the warmer months. The Terrace has stunning views across the hills and valley and on a clear day the nearest ski mountain Monte Amiata can be seen. For 'al fresco' dining there are pizza evenings where everyone can join in and make their own pizza in the traditional wood oven. Guests can relax before dinner in the luxurious bar and sit beside the log burning fire whilst enjoying a Terranova cocktail or a glass of Umbrian wine.

 Here you will find the following services: 

•   Heated outdoor pool

• Fitness centre

• Spa treatments

• Cooking classes with Chef Patrizio Cesarini

• Wine and Olive Oil tasting

• Private driver
