Castello di Montignano is a medieval fortress above Massa Martana, first documented in 962, restored as a Relais and Spa and reserved for one wedding at a time. The cloister arcades frame the ceremony. The dungeons are a spa. The park, with its century-old olive tree, holds up to 250 guests. Three days is the standard format here.

Ceremonies are held in the medieval cloister courtyard, beneath the stone arches, or within the vaulted halls: the fireplace hall, the arch hall, the imperial room. The property holds a civil ceremony licence. The courtyard, with the castle facade rising behind it and the olive tree at the far end, holds up to 120 for the ceremony before the celebration moves to the park for up to 250.

Restaurant Materiaprima works only with local Umbrian ingredients. Every dish is made in-house, served by candlelight in the medieval stone dining room or, in summer, under the stars in the Hortus Conclusus garden. Three days of exclusive use means three meals: the welcome dinner on arrival, the wedding feast, and the morning-after breakfast.

Beneath the courtyard, the Acqua Degna Spa occupies the castle’s original dungeons: a hydromassage pool fed from a historical source, a tepidarium at 37 degrees, a caldarium and a frigidarium, chromotherapy showers carved into the stone, and organic treatments from Paolo Caschera.
