Country Resort Le Torri Di Bagnara Medieval Historical Residences

Come to the warm, green heart of Umbria. Country Resort Le Torri di Bagnara - Medieval Historical Residences is part of the Bagnara Estate, an agro-zootechnic farm featuring 590 hectares of water-plain, woods and pastures. The farm is crossed by the Tiber River and is dotted with small lakes, brooks and medieval castles – Guests may go walking and biking in the many paths with stop areas that crosses the estate, through the woods and along the small lakes. The estate raises roe deer, hares and Chianina cattle (the valuable breed famous for its T-bone steak!). The Castello della Pieve (Castle of the Parish Church) is located near the farmhouse. Originating from the 11th century, this is a real fortress in which the mercenary leader Alberico da Barbiano sought refuge a number of times and where in 1409 he passed away. Barbiano was the founder of the Compagnia di San Giorgio, which Gregorovius called the school of the most famous Italian leaders.

The property has been owned by the present Giunta Tremi family since 1901. This noble family are descendants of Joseph Bonaparte (King of Spain and King of Naples) and Lucien Bonaparte (Prince of Canino), both brothers of Emperor Napoleon the 1st. The family prides itself in welcoming guests to Umbria and offering first-class hospitality!
