Neo-Gothic Umbrian hideaway
Crenellated stone walls and centuries-old oak groves frame a quiet country refuge overlooking the rolling Umbrian countryside.
“Umbria is nicknamed Italy’s green heart, so drive 30 minutes away from the city to enjoy the region’s countryside at Borgo dei Conti Resort.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
Borgo dei Conti Resort is a deeply romantic place, in that particular way that only a grand Southern European country house can be.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Winding country roads lead to Lake Trasimeno and medieval Perugia, while quiet hilltop villages dot the surrounding Nestore Valley.
The rooms
Oak parquet floors meet exposed ceiling beams and handloomed regional fabrics, while grand suites retain restored frescoes and heraldic fireplaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool is framed by tiered lawns and olive trees, with white cabanas facing the villa.
The spa
A glowing halotherapy salt room and light-filled garden lounges anchor the spa in the villa's western wing.
The indoor pool
Slatted timber walls enclose the indoor heated pool, alongside a Finnish sauna and Turkish hammam.
Dogs stay too.
Cedri Restaurant
Vaulted dining rooms open to arched garden windows, serving contemporary Umbrian dishes on white-linen tables.
At the table
Osteria del Borgo serves casual meals on garden terraces, and a curved cocktail bar sits under vaulted ceilings.
How it began
Count Lemmo Rossi Scotti, a 19th-century battle painter, transformed a crumbling 13th-century fortress into a romantic neo-Gothic country estate.
