I Capricci di Merion
Welcome to our Villa, which name, that means “the Whims of Merion”, is after Lady Merion, a marvellous woman who lived in the late 19th century, and one of her whims. Doubting her lover, the Baron of Rondò, she had him prove his love by building her a house where she could surround herself by her beloved art and play her harp in absolute peace.
The eccentric and cosmopolitan Merion lived at the height of the Liberty style which was exploding throughout Europe.
“I Capricci di Merion” is a completely renovated Art Nouvueau-style villa, located near Lake Trasimeno amidst the lush greenery of Umbria.
The air here is full of passion for art, music and poetry: each room recalls the architecture she loved.
Today every room bears the name of a famous historic character who characterized his times and the guests can feel an old time charm thanks to the soft light of a starry sky which illuminates every night.
REST In the cozy dining areas you can enjoy fine cuisine that is rich in the local tradition in a refined atmosphere befitting the lifestyle of the noblewoman who originally lived in this villa.

The delicious meals served in our restaurant are enlivened by the magical, delicate sound of live harp music.
The harp is a wonderful, delicate instrument that evokes the times in which Merion loved to entertain her guests with the finest music.
Our cellar contains carefully selected wines from the best labels in Umbria and Italy.
