Feel like a medieval lord or lady for a night and stay in these beautiful historic Italian castles. Take in spectacular views from the old tower, surround yourself with olive groves and vineyards as far as the eye can see, partake in scrumptious locally sourced meals, and sleep in a comfortable four-poster bed. The icing on this fairy tale-like cake: a stay in these castles will cost you less than a night in a soulless chain hotel.
