A 900 AD castello/fortress in Abruzzo, Italy

Posted on Sun, 9 Nov 2025 by KiM

This majestic property dating back to 900 AD, a true pearl of the Pereto area, just 50 km by motorway from Rome, in the heart of Abruzzo. Situated in a panoramic position and surrounded by greenery, the Castle extends over a total surface area of approximately 1,100 square meters, divided into 25 rooms, including 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, gardens, cellars and a large garage. The Pereto Castle was built as a watchtower in the first half of the 10th century. Over the centuries, it passed from owner to owner to the Abbey of Montecassino, hosted Corradino di Svevia, the powerful Orsini, Colonna and Maccafani families, until arriving at the present day with the current owners, with a new careful and precise renovation of the manor, which lasted from 1968 to 1975. The restoration work was entrusted to the famous Irish architect Alfred Cochrane.
Really, though, WHERE DO I SIGN??? This castle has soooo much history, and is an actual fortress in its design. I can’t imagine living in something so incredibly old and historic and magical. For sale for €1,400,000 via James Edition.
