Life in a Medieval Castle

We have arrived in the eleventh century. For the next two days our home will be in the fabulous Castello di Septe, a building that has been maintained since its construction sometime around 1050 AD. The inside has been modernized, and it is as comfortable as any hotel we have ever occupied, and the building and its grounds are indescribably beautiful. Its original function was to serve as the home of a nobleman charged with protecting shepherds who drove their flocks to market along a nearby road. Highwaymen we’re a constant problem. A recent descendant had no offspring and the property came up for sale. The result is Castello di Septe, one of the most idyllic lodgings one could imagine.

Nowadays this facility is used most often as a wedding venue. But our group is occupying most of its rooms right now. There are many vacation venues that do not have any appeal for me. However, for an old medieval antiquarian like me, I feel like I have died and gone to heaven.
