Discovering Castello Benelli

Castello Benelli, which has joined the Grandi giardini italiani and Residenze D’epoca, will open its doors and those of its magnificent surrounding garden.
The Castle, , which is located in the countryside of Bordonchio, in the countryside of Igea Marina, was erected at the behest of Count Pietro Spina in the 19th century, tracing the foundations of an ancient medieval castle dating back to the 11th century.

Castello Benelli opened its doors last year after a careful restoration that saw it return to its ancient splendour: an enchantment that opens up just a few steps from the sea between the richly frescoed rooms of the restored interiors and the greenery of the ancient maritime pines and surrounding gardens. Situated in Igea Marina, Castello Benelli takes its name from Ignazio Benelli, who became its owner in 1917 and is still owned by the Benelli family, which has overseen its restoration and enhancement.
