Umbria delights its guests with its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Local truffles, olive oil, asparagus, funghi porcini, and famous Sangiovese wines will ensure food lovers will be in for a treat when visiting one of the region’s many excellent restaurants.

​

Some of Umbria’s most famous sites are literally in sight of the casale. To the south you can see Spoleto with its Basilica di San Salvatore, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Across the valley are the vineyards and hilltop city of Montefalco, with Bevagna and Santa Maria Dell’Angeli with its famous dome below. On a clear day Perugia’s hilltop profile reveals itself while further north the imposing Monte Subasio provides an enchanting backdrop to nearby Trevi, dating back to the 1st century BCE.

​

Even closer to home a hiking trail follows the old aqueduct and winds its way through the hillside all the way to Spoleto, passing the beautiful fortress of Clitunno and the nearby Tempietto del Clitunno, also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

​

The Umbrian hills make it easy to immerse yourself in nature with their rich forests, rivers and lakes. Italy’s ‘Green Heart’ invites you to undertake a range of activities including hiking, canyoning, rafting and cycling. Or to simply enjoying a picnic and seeing some of Umbria’s less visited hamlets.

​

Spending a morning at a market in Todi, wander around Perugia’s historic centre or sampling Norcia’s famous truffles and sausages can be easily combined with a lazy afternoon at the pool. Maybe have a barbecue and watch the sun set, or take a short drive to Spello for dinner at one of its lovely piazzas. Rome, Siena and Florence all make for easy day-trips, as does the Adriatic coast, now connected to nearby Foligno with a brand new express way.
