The Hotel and Spa ‘Fontecchio’ are beautifully set in an ancient wooded park which gently rises above Citta di Castello at the heart of Green Umbria. The park is full of ancient springs and trees, which recall it’s long history as a Spa. Objects of antiquity, relating to the Spa, abound within the park telling stories of long gone times.
It was around 80AD when Fontecchio was regularly visited by Pliny the Younger and his beautiful wife, Calpurnia. Nobles from ancient Rome flocked to Fontecchio to enjoy the waters and mud, which promised youth and longevity. There have been numerous mentions, throughout history, of the health giving properties of the Spa Fontecchio. In 1860 a beautiful building, designed by by Calderini, was established as the nucleus of what, is now, a complete modern centre of physical & mental well-being. Including a most comfortable Hotel, Restaurant and Pizzeria. All designed and furnished to the highest Italian standards.
