The philosophy
Eco Lifestyle means being in contact with nature, it means to immerse yourself in quiet and pristine places, to eat and drink well, be active and explore nature – in a word, it means to slow down the rhythm of our existence without giving up comfort.
Parrano is a hamlet in which one can escape from a demanding world. It is a tranquil paradise and the perfect place to get away from it all, a refuge in which to seek something more spiritual and calm while still enjoying timeless luxury with the highest possible level of discrete service. It is charming, authentic, exclusive, quality and continuity all in one. The key to its success is the simple style, refined in a wholly natural way, far from trends and tourism fashions. True luxury is simplicity, based on respect for nature and the land.
Parrano is wellness. Wellness in all of its forms – from wholesome food to the gym, the thermal waters and massages. Pleasure of the body, but also of the mind – it is an educational turning point, wellness as a style of life.
Wellness has always been an important theme in philosophical thought. When I am caring for my body I am not just caring for my body, but also for my mind. On the other hand, is there anything that sells better than happiness? The wellness industry is the industry of the future and has been in Italy since the times of the ancient Romans. And who, more than Umbria, has everything it takes to create a network of wellness that also benefits from art, culture, nature, and spirituality? Within 100 km of Parrano you will find 50% of the world’s art and cultural treasures (Florence and Rome). The rest is scattered about the globe.
The Principality of Parrano is an ancient fiefdom that covers some 3,000 acres of Umbrian countryside not far from the Tuscan border. This land, the green heart of Italy, is made of softly rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards and oak woods where time seems to have stood still. With its reserve and the alluring beauty of its landscape, culture and cuisine, the Principality of Parrano offers the ultimate refuge from the noise and pressure of the modern world.
There are many ways to spend the days at the Principality. One can go for treatments in the Spa or practice various sports. Nature, history, thermal waters, wine, horses and golf (a 36-hole course is in the making) are all available in and around the tiny hamlet and its farmhouses – there to help you unwind and leave behind the daily routine of stress and pressure.
An inseparable feature of the natural landscape are the 40 or so farming estates and their fields, houses and tiny rural villages. Some of these are now being prepared to host Castello guests and offer charm and discretion as well as direct contact with nature. Others are undergoing renovation to meet with the highest standards of even the most demanding of clients wanting to purchase a home in the area. Each one is different, is equipped with all the latest quality comforts and swimming pools with views to link nature and wellbeing. Some of these houses will very soon be available for purchase or to be rented. Enjoy a unique eco lifestyle.
