The region enjoys one of the best climate in Italy, and the coast line is plenty of excellent summer resorts such as Circeo, Sabaudia, Fregene and Santa Severa, just to name a few. Its main lakes, such as Bracciano and Bolsena offer beautiful beaches and water sports within a beautiful landscape and a more relaxing atmosphere.

The house is located in the luxury residential area of San Celso just 2 Km away from the Castle.
HISTORY OF THE CASTLE - The first part of the Castle is dating back to the 12th century, when it belonged to the prefect of Vico. After the year 1370 it was acquired by the city of Rome, and in the year 1419 the Pope donated it to the noble and powerful Orsini family, who started the enlargement and the trapezoidal shaping and 6 towers of the castle. Today it represents one of the last great castle for archers in Europe.
Famous personalities, such as Pope Sisto V in 1478, Francesco della Rovere, and during Christmas 1494, king Charles VII of France were hosted in the Castle. Following clashes with the Church and financial difficulties, the Orsini family lost the Castle. After some time and with diplomacy they gained back the favor of the Pope and regained the property of the Castle. Paolo Giordano was nominated Duke of Bracciano, and his successor Paolo Giordano II, successor of the Duke, started the development of Bracciano by building an aqueduct to convey water from Manziana hills.
Losing power, the Orsini Family made an auction to sell the Castle in the year 1695, which was bought by the Odescalchi family, who till today own this magnificent property.
Odescalchi Castle is generally renting some of the large saloons in order to arrange conventions and cerimonies: the saloon of the well, 216 sq.m and 240 seats; I granai, 312 sq.m and 500 seats; one of the tower and the large frontal garden. But for the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the Castle has been entirely rented. It is open for visitors all days except on Mondays.
