Castillo di Monterone, Perugia, capital of the Umbria Region and the Province of Perugia. This is our home for a couple of nights. Follow the walk to the covered porch and that is the entrance to our very small room, La Giota. The castle has an incredible view of the valley below and the hills of the city of Perugia to the west. Built in the 13th century, Castillo di Monterone has links to the Templar Knights until they were abolished in 1312. It has been restored by the Piceller family who had moved to Perugia around 1600 and acquired the castle as their residence. They restored it over the years and it is also now know as Piceller Castle.
