At HomeAway we have Harry Potter's Hogwarts and England's Royal Family on the brain so we created the list of the Top 10 castles for rent:

• 

  The Palace

  Las Vegas, Nevada -Say goodbye to gargoyles and dragons, and hello...

  Say goodbye to gargoyles and dragons, and hello to indoor bowling alleys and poolside tiki bars. While the decor of this 14,500-square-foot "palace" is styled like its European predecessors, its modern luxuries including a gourmet kitchen, theater room with 120" screen, and private nightclub tell another tale. Guests will get the royal treatment from the full concierge service, wait staff and limousine pick-up from the airport.

• 

  Borgia Castle

  Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy - For all young girls who dream of...

  For all young girls who dream of having a fairytale wedding in a storybook castle, this is the property for you. With eight bedrooms to accommodate all your friends and family and sprawling views of both the Tuscan and Umbrian countrysides (the castle is situated on the border of the two regions), all that's missing is Prince Charming.

• 

  Ayrshire Castle

  Ayrshire, Scotland - This nearly six-century-old structure...

  This nearly six-century-old structure was originally intended as a wedding gift from King James II of England to his daughter, Princess Mary. Towering five stories, the castle was built with an emphasis on privacy including a guard lookout and a secret "murder hole", formerly used to pour hot oil on intruders. Despite modern updates, the property still features original quirks such as a hidden prisoner keep, still intact from the castle's one time use as a courtroom.

• 

  Hunt Castle

  Rindge, New Hampshire - Tucked among 500 acres of...

  Tucked among 500 acres of New Hampshire countryside, the Hunt Castle offers plenty of privacy for an exciting escape. The destination and the property supply year round recreation opportunities including cross-country skiing trails, a private lake with included paddleboats, 18-hole Frisbee golf course and a restaurant-style bar in the basement. While the price tag to rent this family-friendly fortress is $1,250/night, a group of 22 can split the costs and pay a mere $57/person.

• 

  Long's Park Castle

  Wiltshire, England - Imagine this scene- knights and other royal...

  Imagine this scene- knights and other royal dignitaries gathered around a sumptuous feast illuminated by candlelight and sharing tales from the day- now instead of the knights and dignitaries, insert yourself and 16 friends as you gather around the medieval table displayed in the Great Hall of this England castle rental. After dining, saunter upstairs to the main turret to digest over star gazing, then retire to Rapunzel's tower bedroom for a restful slumber.

• 

  Grahall Estate

  Cavendish, Vermont - While this 6-bedroom property doesn't claim...

  While this six-bedroom property doesn't claim to be a castle, one look at the exterior and you'll see why this modern twist on the traditional design made our list. The property is well-equipped for a group or corporate gathering, featuring an expansive courtyard with ample seating, galley-style dining and 7,000 square feet of living space. Plus, ski enthusiasts will appreciate it's proximity to Ludlow, Killington, Bromley and Magic Mountain ski areas.

• 

  Hollywood Castle

  Experience the lifestyles of the rich and famous in this glitz-and-glam Hollywood Hills castle. Sitting atop the kingdom of Tinseltown, you'll feel like a true celebrity sleeping in the same property used to film music videos from chart-toppers, Tom Petty and Katy Perry. Also, invaders beware: this 10,000 square foot fabulous fortress is protected by a moat, which doubles as a pool.

•

  This quaint, two-bedroom castle will make you wonder whether you're nestled into the mountains of North Carolina or the Scottish Highlands. Castle McKenzie offers vacationing couples a more intimate setting, with 25 secluded acres to explore without interruption and a hot tub atop the castle turret, perfect for gazing at sunsets over the land. Priced at a royally affordable $155 per night.

• 

  Mugdock Castle

  Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina - Muggles and Royals alike will enjoy...

  Muggles and Royals alike will enjoy the historical significance of this coastal castle rental. The property has withstood the test of time, operating as a church for its first 100 years, before being turned into a private residence in the 1970s. After visiting nearby Fort Moultrie for a quick Civil War lesson, guests can retreat to Mugdock for some R&R- a home theater room, rooftop deck, and a spacious living area are all at your disposal.

• 

  Anguilla Sand Castle

  Anguilla - Although not built out of sand, this nontraditional castle ...

  Just for fun, we threw in this nontraditional castle which likely gets its name because of its Old World-inspired design, khaki color and nearness to the crystal blue Caribbean waters. Between keeping up with your fitness routine in the fully-equipped exercise room, lounging in the infinity pool and dining al fresco, there's plenty to keep guests occupied. Just be prepared to shell out some dough, because a night in this seaside castle costs around $2,300.
