Romantic Medieval Escape

This charming home isn’t just a vacation retreat—it’s a piece of living history. Passed down through generations, the property was once part of an ancient castle. Mrs. Marinelli, who inherited it from her father, undertook a careful restoration in 2013. Her mission was to preserve the soul and authenticity of the space while offering modern comforts to her guests. Every stone tells a story, and every corner echoes the nobility and quiet grandeur of its medieval past.

Set into the rock face and nestled at the top of the hill in the picturesque village of Petrella Guidi, the home—affectionately known as “La Grotta”—offers a rare chance to travel back in time. Surrounded by the gentle hills of the Apennines and overlooking the beautiful Montefeltro valley and even San Marino, the setting is peaceful, almost magical. The silence, the views, and the feeling of being wrapped in history make this an unforgettable escape. Just a short walk away, the Old Tower provides panoramic views not to be missed, and the village itself is a perfect starting point for discovering the cultural gems of the region.

Adding to its charm, guests are welcome to enjoy fresh fruit from the orchard nearby, owned by Mrs. Marinelli herself. And for those traveling with pets, small to medium-sized companions are warmly welcomed. As Mrs. Marinelli says, “Staying here is like taking a journey through time, embraced by the sweet hills of the Apennines.”

Joli endroit mais sans confort.

Logement bien fait. Étonnant. Mais manque de confort. Le lit est très petit pour un couple et aucun fauteuil confortable pour se poser et lire. La table en pierre avec la belle vue est beaucoup plus haut dans le village (56 marches) donc impossible de s’y installer pour dîner ! En plus il y a beaucoup de passage. Nous sommes très exposés aux touristes qui passent devant nous. Pour une ou deux nuits ok mais pas plus. Les alentours sont beaux.

Mi sono divertito tanto alla Grotta! L'appartamento era spazioso e aveva una bella atmosfera, Ci siamo goduti la raccolta di frutta dal frutteto vicino, un bel tocco! La posizione è perfetta per esplorare la zona e i padroni di casa erano davvero amichevoli, L'unica cosa è che il WiFi era un po' instabile a volte, ma onestamente, chi ne ha bisogno quando sei circondato da tanta bellezza? Tornerò sicuramente!

La Grotta in Petrella Guidi er virkelig en skjult perle! Beliggende i et gammelt slot, var atmosfæren rig på historie og charme, Udsigten fra det gamle tårn var simpelthen betagende, især ved solnedgang, Lejligheden var hyggelig og smukt indrettet, hvilket gjorde, at den føltes som et hjem væk fra hjemmet, Vi satte pris på det fuldt udstyrede køkken, som gjorde det muligt for os at nyde måltider, mens vi nød de fredelige omgivelser, Den nærliggende frugtplantage var en dejlig bonus - vi plukkede friske frugter dagligt! Anbefales varmt til par, der søger en romantisk ferie
