I Casali di Colle San Paolo is comprised of three villas built in the 1700s in the Umbrian countryside: Fontanelle, Poderaccio, and Molinella. The villas are located within a ~15 minute walk (5 min drive) from each other on 130 hectares of woodland and agricultural land. The property is surrounded by hiking trails, olive trees, fields and forests.

Most guests will fly in to Rome Fiumicino Airport, rent a car, and drive 2.5h north to reach the venue. Guests are recommended to rent a car to explore the surrounding areas and because it is the most direct way to reach the venue. Alternatively, there are train and bus routes that take much longer.
