CASTELLO DI SISMANO
-
Ginevra Sanminiatelli, the lucky owner of Castello di Sismano (actually it's been in the family for over 400 years!!)
View of the 15th century tower of the Sismano castle,home of the owner of the estate and, to the right, the entrance to the chuch dedicated to Saint Andrea Corsini(1301-1373)who was an ancestor of the present owner
Situated just next to the 12th century inner arch of the borgo the medievale suite is the oldest of all as it used to be the room where the guards checked the entrance to the castle. Sleeping under it's magnificent oak beams will make you dream of fairytales with princes and pricesses.
This is the bathroom of the Medievale room, fully equipped and with a little window that will remind you of past century life.
Set in beautiful and unspoilt part of Umbria Sismano is one of Italy's privately owned medieval castle surrounded by a delightful Borgo(hamlet). Simply a must!!!
The private salted water pool in the castle's garden has amazing views and total privacy.
the restaurant I Due Papi offers a genuine taste of local and tuscan dishes. Romantic place in winter with food cooked in the fireplace and "al fresco" dining in summer on the breathtaking view terrace
Our restaurant "I Due Papi" (literally "the two Popes" as two popes, one in 1298 and one in 1730 were the owners of the Sismano castle and it's estate)is reknown for the delicious food, wine and extra vergin organic olive oil all produced on Sismano's farm.
These are the original XVIII century houses inside the Borgo of Sismano which have been restaured and made into self catered apartments. Originally they were inhabited by the artisans that worked for the castle and had here their working places.
dining Al Fresco below the castle walls..and with a stunning view !

5 out of 5Review for the B&B Sismano and its restaurant "I Due Papi"
May 22, 2012
We stayed in the Castello Sismano a wonderful bed and breakfast near Todi. We were really impressed from this beautiful castle and enjoyed the calmness. You get the lovely feeling of being set back in a different time period. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. For us the most amazing part of staying at Sismano was enjoying its restaurant "I Due Papi". The food was excellent and convenient since we did not have to leave the hotel in order to enjoy amazing food. The castle is very well located since you can easily reach culturally important places around. All in all, Castello Sismano is an insider's tip!

Nel mese di Marzo 2012 abbiamo avuto il grande piacere di soggiornare nell'antico borgo del Castello di Sismano, e di conoscere personalmente la gentilissima proprietaria, la marchesa Ginevra Sanminiatelli, con la quale abbiamo avuto modo di conversare assai gradevolmente Mia moglie ed io ci siamo trovati benissimo nella splendida "Suite Dei Tetti", molto suggestiva ed assai particolare, ed abbiamo cenato veramente con gusto nel caratteristico Ristorante "I due Papi". Ci siamo rammaricati soltanto di non essere potuti rimanere piu' di una notte, ma a questo sono sicuro rimedieremo non appena ci sara' nuovamente possibile. Saremo comunque lieti di consigliare ai nostri amici di trascorrere almeno un paio di giorni nell'Agriturismo, perche' siamo certi che ne saranno pienamente soddisfatti.

Well where do I start? Arrived on Saturday with my girlfriend for our 4th anniversary and was warmly greeted by the owner who, after some usual paperwork and checking in, took us to our room. Each room was designed differently and we were in the "I Vasi" room which means "The Vases". The rooms were spacious, very clean and tidy, ready for new guests, us. :) After leaving our stuff in the room we had a look around the estate. The castle was beautiful and the fields were stunning. We then went straight for the pool and then some relaxing in the sauna. Before we knew it was dinner time and we were hungry, so decided to eat at the hotel restaurant, “I Due Papi”. Again, this was lovely! The food was fantastic and the service next to none. The staff were always on the ball and the food came promptly even though it was a busy night. We retreated to our room and before we knew it, it was morning. After a good night’s sleep and some fantastic home-made breakfast we went to the local town for some site seeing and then headed back to the hotel to relax and have dinner at the hotel. After another great night sleep we were sad to be leaving in the morning. :( Our stay in Sismano was lovely and would recommend anyone and everyone to go. The staff provided a great service and made our stay just that bit more memorable. We loved it so much that we are planning to go again soon.
5 out of 5Amazing experience!
June 15, 2010
We were advised by friends to stop in this medieval borgo, but we could not imagine we would be feeling like princes from a fairy tale! Beautiful suite, incredible views, amazing dinner at the nearby restaurant owened by the same lady who owns the castle and who baked the cakes for our breakfast. Definitively a memorable experience! Thankyou Marchesa, we'll be back!!
