The Procopio Castle is only a few kilometers from Perugia, ideally located between Umbria and Tuscany, on a hill overlooking the Tiber Valley. It was restored in 2005, when Russian entrepreneur Eugeny Lebedev decided to take it back to its ancient splendor by entrusting Studio Domenico Minchilli with the project – which entailed retrieving and studying ancient documents in order to fully respect the original look of the fortress.

The outcome is an opulent, luxurious atmosphere that is lavish with velvet, brocades, majestic canopy beds, impressive furniture and antique pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries – a mood created by American interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard.
