A Journey Through Time
The vision to restore Castello Di Procopio began with a full archaeological survey to uncover its original footprint and historical significance. Perched high on the Monte Tizio range, the site was once dedicated to the Roman goddess Tedite, later home to the Austrian Hermitage for Gregorian Monks, and in the Middle Ages, the church of San Pietro was founded here. Commissioned by Holy Roman Emperor Frederico Barbarossa in the 12th century, the castle served as a fortress during the bloody wars between the Empire and the Papacy.
Today, thanks to meticulous craftsmanship by local artisans, the castle stands as a magnificent blend of historical authenticity and modern luxury. Restored door grilles, ironwork, and ceiling beams reflect its heritage, while contemporary comforts make it a unique, luxurious home.
