Colle in Ceralto is family-run, family-owned, and family-loved. The Bennicellis have lived in Umbria for over 200 years and are delighted to be able to share the beauty of the region whose land they have cultivated, and cherished, for generations. Guests are invited to enter into a more intimate relationship with nature in a relaxing oasis far from the stresses of city life.

Colle in Ceralto is just outside of a small medieval town from which it draws its name. Located at the foot of a hill, it is surrounded by lush, untouched countryside where thick forests of oaks and groves of olive trees thrive as they have for centuries.

This is a place to dream up big ideas…or think about nothing at all. You can take long walks and listen to birds. You can enjoy the shade of the pergola in summer, the warmth of the fireplace in winter. At Colle in Ceralto you are also ideally situated to explore the marvels of Umbria—Montefalco, Bevagna, Todi, and Monte Castello Vibio are nearby, while slightly farther afield there are such classic Umbrian destinations as Assisi, Perugia, Spello, Gubbio, and Spoleto.

Colle in Ceralto consists of two independent structures: the Casolare dell'Elce, which can accommodate up to 12 people, and the Casa dei Cavalli, which is divided into two separate apartments, Betulla and Fiordaliso; each can accommodate four guests.

The buildings, their history, and their location at the top of a gentle hill are simply magical!
