 History:
The two main towers of this castle a connecting parapet wall were built in the 15th and 16th century. They were occupied by soldiers from the papal state (against the Kingdome of Tuscany, at only few miles from the border line) who controlled the route that travellers took from Perugia to Tuscany. Hence the location of the Castle is 400 Metres (in altitude) over the valley floor and not at the real hilltop. |
 An American named Telfner originally German, from Bavaria went to America looking for fortune, and after having found it, built the current Castle sometime in the 1800's incorporating the originals towers and parapets wall into the Castle. He also acquired the title of "Count" and his motto, inscribed in the hall window, "work makes a men become noble" reveals the ambitions of those from the new world!!! Suite 210 "Contessa Ada" was his wife's suite and still retains her favourite colours ot green-blu and grey. Villa Ada, adjoining the Castle, was named after the countess. There were no known descendents of the Telfner's, but the Castle remained as a private residence until 1990 when it was converted into a hotel. Most of the forniture in the present hotel was acquired by count Telfner and has remained here ever since. |
