    Vew from the castleSuite dei Vasi
The Suite dei Vasi (Suite of the Vases) is on the first floor, opposite the Romantica suite. It is named after the antique vases that are placed above the king size bed and from it's windows it is possible to appreciate a relaxing scenary. The bathroom has a shower and an unexpected balcony that overlooks the garden.
    Suite Romantica
The Suite Romantica (Romantic suite) is on the first floor and from its windows it is possible to appreciate a breath taking view: on clear days it is possible to see the bell tower of the church of San Fortunato in Todi (PG). The suite has a spacious bathroom with large bathtub: moreover, it has a fireplace.Bathroom of the suite Romantica
    Suite Francese, sitting roomThe fireplace in the suite Romantica
    suite Francese, bedroom
The Suite Francese (French Suite) is called this way due to the comfortable queen size bed found in the bedroom on the first floor, which can be reached from a beautiful wooden staircase: the view from the two windows can be described as the classic "postcard" of the Umbrian hills. The ground floor consists of a cosy, comfortable sitting room where it is possible to relax or watch some TV before a romantic evening.View from the suite Francese
    The Suite Rosa (Pink Suite), like the the Medievale one, has an independent entrance. Its main characteristic is an antique wooden beam that separates the ceiling of the room in two parts. The bathroom is decorated with bright colours and equipped with a large shower. The mini-bar can be found in the wardrobe, located in-between two wooden surfaces that can be used as desks. Located within a medieval village on the hills of Sismano, the Casa Gialla (Yellow House) has a breath-taking view. The main bedroom offers a pleasant view of the woods from above, while the living room overlooks the village. Entirely decorated with antique furniture, the Yellow House features a double room, bathroom with shower cabin, a lounge with fireplace and kitchen. It gives guests the opportunity of a stay that is enriched by historical charm and relax.
    Located within the medieval village of Sismano, the Casa Verde (Green House) offers the opportunity of a stay in a pleasant environment, characterised by warm and welcoming tones. Walking through the hall we reach the living room, which can also be used as dining room. It features wooden decorations and has retained the original, perfectly working fireplace. It is the ideal place in which to enjoy cool evenings, during summer and winter, perhaps sitting quietly and comfortably in front of the fire. The two bedrooms and the bathroom are characterised by the wooden rafters structure of the roof. These rooms have been decorated with the purpose of underlining the peculiarity of the place itself, still alive and vibrant with historical charm.Entrance to the Restaurant "I Due Papi"
The restaurant "I due Papi" (The Two Popes) it's just a few steps from the Borgo, in the ancient wine cellars and stables of the Castle. Actually, two popes owned Sismano in the past. One was Benedetto Caetani (Pope Boniface VIII), who purchased Sismano in 1289, four years before his election. The other was Lorenzo Corsini (Pope Clement XII who had the Trevi fountain built in Rome)), whose family has owned Sismano since 1607 and who was an ancestor of the present owner
