The Castello di Postignano, in the municipality of Sellano, is a medieval hillside village that has been restored and turned into a hotel. The village houses have been converted into suites. The castle stands on the slopes of Monte Puriggia and overlooks the Vigi valley. It has the triangular plan typical of hillside fortifications and is crowned at the top by a hexagonal watch and defense tower.

Its thousand-year history begins in the 9th century. The last eight families left their homes in 1963, because of structural instability and the danger of collapse. Restoration work was interrupted in 1997 by the first strong earthquake and resumed for good in 2007. The village was inaugurated in June 2011.
