Relais Castelluccio Palusse in Città della Pieve, open June–November.
Relais Castelluccio Palusse stands apart as a working wine estate turned intimate hotel, where your celebration unfolds across vineyards and stone buildings dating to the 16th century.
Unlike venues confined to manicured gardens, this property offers an authentic Umbrian agricultural landscape as your backdrop, with guests staying on-site to extend the celebration across multiple days.
The combination of accommodation, wine production, and countryside views creates a self-contained destination rather than a single-evening affair.
A truly remarkable experience. We were warmly welcomed by the manager Laura and the owner Ben. Even though we only stayed for two nights (regrettably), we had several long and nice conversations with Ben. He told us a lot about the interesting history of the house. The 6 rooms are quite different, some with a balcony, others with windows to the lovely park. I suggest you go to their web page and ask for a specific room. As mentioned there is a very nice park on the grounds, and the swimming pool was refreshing and set in a beautiful place with morning and evening sun. It's the kind of place you just wish to chill at the hotel. The breakfast was lavish, with gluten free options and really good coffee. We will definitely come back.

Asked along the way.
Can we serve wine from the estate at our reception?+
Yes. Relais Castelluccio Palusse produces its own wine, and many couples incorporate the estate's selections into their menus and welcome drinks. Discuss specific options with the venue during planning.
How many guests can stay at the property?+
Guest rooms are available on-site, though capacity varies by season and booking. Contact the venue directly to confirm room availability for your guest count and dates.
What is the nearest city for flights?+
Perugia Airport (PIA) is the closest option at approximately 50 kilometers away. Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Florence Peretola (FLR) are also accessible, each within a 90-minute drive.
Are there indoor and outdoor ceremony options?+
The property includes both spaces. Indoor areas work for weather contingencies, while outdoor settings utilize the vineyard landscape and grounds. Availability depends on guest count and season.
How far is the venue from Città della Pieve?+
The address places the venue just outside the town center, making it close enough for guests to explore the historic town but removed for privacy and countryside atmosphere.
