Borgo della Marmotta

A Refined Expression of Authentic Umbrian Living

Set in the rolling countryside just outside the small village of Poreta, a few kilometers from Spoleto, Borgo della Marmotta offers a deeply authentic experience rooted in history, nature, and simplicity. This restored medieval hamlet invites guests to rediscover a slower rhythm of life, where the essence of Umbria reveals itself through space, silence, and tradition.

A Medieval Borgo in the Heart of Umbria

Borgo della Marmotta rises within an ancient rural settlement whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. Carefully restored with great attention to detail, the borgo has preserved the architectural identity of its past. The original layout is still clearly visible today, with its central square, former stables, olive mill, granary, and wide open courtyards that once defined everyday agricultural life.
Today, these historic spaces have been brought back to life in a new form, maintaining their character while welcoming guests into an environment that feels both genuine and timeless.

Why Choose Borgo della Marmotta

The experience at Borgo della Marmotta is built around a simple yet powerful idea: making guests feel at home. Hospitality here is warm, informal, and deeply connected to the identity of the place, offering a stay that feels personal and authentic.
Surrounded by the landscapes of what is often described as “hidden Umbria,” the borgo encourages a reconnection with nature and with a more essential way of living, from the pace of everyday life.
This is not a place defined by conventional luxury, but by atmosphere, history, and a genuine sense of belonging.

Rooms and Apartments: Living the Borgo

The accommodations are distributed throughout the original buildings of the village, each one preserving the spirit of its former function. The property includes eleven rooms and seven apartments, offering different ways to experience the borgo depending on the length and style of stay.
Rooms are characterized by natural materials and traditional finishes, while the apartments provide more space, often including a living area and, in some cases, a small kitchen. This dual offering allows guests to choose between a more classic hospitality experience or a more independent stay, always within the same historic setting.

A Taste of Umbrian Tradition

At the heart of the borgo, the restaurant celebrates the culinary heritage of the region with traditional Umbrian cuisine. The focus is on local flavors and ingredients, creating a direct connection between the land and the dining experience.
Here, meals become part of the overall journey, reflecting the agricultural roots and cultural identity of the surrounding territory.

Wellness and Slow Living

Wellbeing at Borgo della Marmotta unfolds in a natural and unforced way, in harmony with the surrounding landscape. Alongside the large park and outdoor swimming pool, the property offers a dedicated wellness area where guests can take time for themselves.
The wellness experience includes a sauna available upon reservation, as well as the possibility to enjoy massages and beauty treatments inspired by both traditional and holistic practices, including Ayurvedic and shiatsu techniques. Yoga and Pilates sessions can also be organized, offering moments of balance and regeneration in a peaceful, nature-filled setting.
Every element contributes to a sense of calm that feels spontaneous rather than constructed, where wellbeing is simply part of the everyday rhythm of the borgo.
