The Castello di Proceno, dating from the 12th century, is a rare example of a medieval fortification surviving in its original state. Its pentagonal base incorporates a main tower and two secondary towers interconnected by walkways and a drawbridge that is one of 19 still working in Italy.

A fort attached to one side of the castle by the town's defensive walls now houses three apartments. Although they share a common access and a path through the gardens to the swimming pool, each one is completely independent and has its own private outdoor area from which guests may enjoy the peace and the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
Another part of the complex includes a medieval courtyard around which are the rest of the apartments and suites, located in a tower of the old defensive wall. The apartments are connected to the pool area by an ancient tunnel under the castle.
Access to this apartment is further along the same street that provides access to the first three apartments. Private entrance is up a vaulted internal staircase that opens onto a living room with single sofa bed and fireplace. The wall that hosts the fireplace separates the living room from the spacious dining room with kitchen corner, complete with gas range and fridge. This dining room is beautiful and airy. One side of it was obtained by glassing-in a row of arches that overlook the internal courtyard. Glass doors in the kitchen area open onto this courtyard which is equipped with garden furniture for this apartment's use. Back in the living room, to one side at the top of the entrance stairs is a landing with doors to the double bedroom and to the complete bathroom with shower. There is a combination safe.
