Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes proudly announces the addition of the magnificent Castello di Procopio to its curated portfolio. This exceptional 8-bedroom estate marks the brand’s first property in the sought-after area of Umbria, Italy, offering guests a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the region’s rich culture while enjoying Mandarin Oriental services and experiences.
Rich in history, Castello di Procopio is a remarkable restoration of medieval architecture, originally commissioned in the 12th century by Holy Roman Emperor Frederico Barbarossa as a strategic fortress. Archaeological research has uncovered even earlier origins, including a Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Tedite, a hermitage for Gregorian monks, and later, the foundation of the Church of San Pietro in the Middle Ages.
The restoration was both ambitious and meticulous. Guided by original blueprints and historical records, artisans revived ancient stonework, vaulted ceilings, and architectural details with precision and care. The result is a magnificent estate that honours its imperial legacy while offering refined luxury in keeping with Mandarin Oriental’s signature standards of excellence.
Set on 11 private acres of olive groves, vineyards and wildflower meadows, the estate is a sanctuary of tranquillity. Whether wandering through its romantic gardens or admiring the sweeping views toward Assisi, guests are effortlessly transported to a timeless Italian landscape, living la dolce vita.
The interiors of Castello di Procopio are a masterclass in elegant restoration. Eight individually designed en-suite bedrooms host up to 16 guests, each thoughtfully appointed with fine Italian linens, bespoke furnishings, and contemporary comforts. From the grand reception hall to the intimate library and bar lounge, the atmosphere is one of warmth and refinement.
The experience at Castello di Procopio goes beyond its historic beauty and is designed not merely to impress, but to envelop guests in the essence of the destination.
Days begin with the soft scent of espresso through ancient stone corridors, as the villa’s Mandarin Oriental approved private chef prepares a breakfast tailored to guest tastes, using the finest local ingredients renowned of a rustic Umbrian spread. As sunlight pours over the vineyards and olive groves, the estate comes to life. Perhaps a morning swim in the heated outdoor infinity pool overlooking the valley, followed by a restorative moment in the spa suite, where a massage therapist awaits in the vaulted wellness room, complete with sauna.
Afternoons unfold effortlessly. A film screening in the private cinema room. A lazy game of bocce under the cypress trees. Or simply, a moment of mindfulness with a book in the castle’s library, where frescoes and fireplaces speak to centuries gone by. Should the mood strike for something livelier, the dedicated concierge is ready to arrange a bespoke wine tasting in nearby Montefalco, or a private visit to the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi.
Evenings at Castello di Procopio are nothing short of atmospheric. Golden light dances across the terracotta walls as guests enjoy aperitivi served on the terrace. Dinners are prepared by the Mandarin Oriental chef using seasonal produce, including Italian-renowned cuisine including, Carpaccio di Chianina con Tartufo Nero di Norcia, and Filetto di Coregone del Lago Trasimeno con Erbe di Campoenjoy, enjoy dining under the stars or within the castle’s candlelit dining hall. Throughout it all, a dedicated team is discreetly present embodying warmth and sincerity.
