About Relais Castelluccio Palusse
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.

We stayed here for a wedding and were delighted with our room and the facilities. The castle has been beautifully restored and the setting is stunning.

Questions about the venue

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.
