We had a wonderful time at Palazzo Grande during our weeklong vacation.ย Filippo and Emanuela were terrific hosts who were very knowledgeable about the area and we able to provide excellent recommendationsย and help us to secure reservations almost every evening.
The property and house are stunning and have been immaculately preserved. Everything was very clean and the rooms were all very spacious. It truly felt as if we were at home.
Umbriaย is very centrally located and close to many attractions. We can't wait to go back!

This is our third visit to pAlazzo grande, and each time we come we love it more and more. The Exquisitely Appointed Rooms And the truly extraordinary grounds make us feel like we are stepping back in time, but with all the comforts And services needed in the world today. Filippo and emanuela are delightful, thoughtful caretakers, and are both well-versed in all things Umbrian, providIng consistently brilliant advice (and some amazing home cooking and baking). Palazzo grande is located in an area superbly suited as a base to visit the hilltop towns of umbria and tuscanny, and to sample the wide variety of food and wine Made famous in this region. Its so close to rome that getting here from new york is easy; and perugiaโ€™s proximity mEans that the trains are very accessible as well. We just got here, had a beautiful meal, lazed by the pool, and cannot wait to make our plans to come back.

It is quite difficult to feel 'at home' when you are so far away from there. it was shocking how immediately comfortable we felt the minute we stepped foot onto the property. Music was playing, the sun was beautifully setting, and the air was warm and sweet. It seemed staged! But it wasn't, it just is that perfect there. While I can praise the property itself, I have to share some for Filippo. he was so kind - constantly checking in, offering his help and even recommending great spots around the area. The trip was a dream and we'll never forget our stay.

Palazzo Grande was our most favorite part of our trip. Not only is the Palazzo Grande an incredibly gorgeous home, but it is centrally located to easily visit all the beautiful surroundings and can't miss towns, as we did. Perugia, Orvieto, Spello & Assisi to name a few. Filippo and his family were kind and incredibly resourceful in helping us navigate throughout our stay. We also loved staying in a place where one can see all of the authenticity Umbria has to offer. Counting the days for our return. Hopefully :)! Thank you for an outstanding and memorable experience!

We spent a blIssful few days at the Palazzo Grande, enjoying the local cuisine and taking in the beautiful sIghts of UmbrIa. We especially enjoyed our day trips to nearby Panicale and Assisi and our cooking class at the Palazzo. We found the region very easy to get to from Rome and easy to navigate once we arrived. FilIppo and his wife booked everything from dinner reservations to massages, all we had to do was show up! We canโ€™t wait to go back to Umbria and Palazzo Grande.

My wife Judy and I had the privilege of spending a large portion of my sabbatical, spanning two glorious summer months, at Palazzo Grande. I canโ€™t imagine a more perfect way to refresh and gain perspective on the important things in life than to spend time in this historic setting. We felt welcome from the moment we came through the big gate, being greeted by Filippo and Emanuela (and of course Pablo) and then enjoying our first taste of the regional cuisine (truffles!) with amazing welcome meal they had prepared (amazing chefs!). Their incredible hospitality endured through even our lengthy stay and their knowledge of and connection to the local food and wine scene opened doors for us we would never have imagined and paved the way for some truly unique experiences.

Palazzo Grande is a perfect blending of the old and the new; a place where you can start your day having cappuccino in the formal dining room, pondering the 500 year old frescos or wander out front to the Italian Garden and sit in awe of the recently commissioned sculptures. There are no end to places to sit and read or write. Palazzo Grande is inspirational.

Palazzo Grande also makes a great base for day trips to places like Florence, Assisi, Spoleto and of course Perugia. (Too many to list!). Of course, you shouldnโ€™t miss Corciano, especially if you are there during their festival. We are avid cyclists and the surrounding countryside and neighboring towns provided no end of options for our daily rides. Lake Trasimeno is 10K away and is a great place to ride to lunch โ€“ and great views if you need some time to recover after lunch before your ride home!

While most of our days were filled with wonderful food, wine, and adventure, you can be sure that plenty of hot summer afternoons were spent lazing by the beautiful pool, under the Umbrian sun. Canโ€™t recommend Palazzo Grande enough. Already plotting my returnโ€ฆ

Captivating! Palazzo Grande stands in the center of a property of more than 70 acres, which includes agricultural land and olive grove, overlooking one of the most intriguing villages of Umbria, the Corciano.

The 18 rooms of the Palace are beautiful, ample and accomodating, all equipped with hydro-masage bath, and tastefully decorated with furniture, paintings and period objects belonging to the history of the house. It also provides the best modern comforts and amenities like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, gym, wine cellar, Swimming pool, and tennis court that compliment the elegance of the rooms and its stunning landscape.

Filipo and Manuela are super gracious hosts! They made me feel at home while away from home. Palazzo Grande might just be Umbriaโ€™s best kept secret!

I had an outstanding experience here during my 5-Day stay. I found Palazzo Grande to be ACCOMMODATING in every sense of the word. The place felt spacious yet cozy and had all the amenities i would have hoped for and more. The outstanding house managers, Emanuela and Filipo, added to the experience through their hospitality and engagement, making it feel like i was staying with Family. All of these factors combined with the beautiful architecture and scenery that is Palazzo Grande, and itโ€™s an unforgettable stay. Good vibes all around.

My wife, son, sister-in-law and I spent a week at palazzo grande in june 2019. I am reluctant to describe our time there for fear or creating a rush to rural umbria that will prevent us from visiting again. the house is spectacular! It can accommodate large numbers of people, yet has numerous warm, intimate spaces, coupled with breathtaking views of the Italian countryside. the rooms are large, en suite, often with sleeping quarters in a comfortable loft above an attractive living room. the house managers, filipo and Manuela, are wonderfully gracious hosts and first rate chefs. they fed us in the morning, whenever we were home in the evening, and often packed lunches for our day trips. at our insistence, they even joined us for dinner nearby and were excellent company. they seemed to appear when we needed them and disappear when we did not. the house is classic old world Italian beauty with modern conveniences, such as a/c, gym, pool, etc. incidentally, umbria is what people are looking for when they think of Tuscany, which has become overrun with tourists. not so for umbria and the numerous medieval walled hill towns within it. I cannot say enough good things about it. unless the owners object, we will be back (more than once).

I stayed at Palazzo grande with my mother last summer and we had an epic time! We were on a tour of the most awesome parts of the country and made a point to make this a destination. the location is perfect as its close enough to fun and entertaining cultural destinations, but its surrounded by a beautiful backdrop of italy's countryside. The building itself is so cool. Its a mixture of historic italy with all the elements of what you need for a 5 star vacation. I look forward to going back very soon.

Palazzo grande is an Italian dream. Its setting, unique majesty and hospitality make it more than an accomodation, but rather an experience like no other. Somehow palazzo grande is not stuffy or overly formal. Instead, it's charming and perfect for a relaxing day at the pool or an upscale dinner party. If you're looking for something super special, this is it.
