Located in the beautiful lush Niccone valley with a village (and small shop) at the bottom of the road and 10 kms away is Umbertide, a town with an Octagonal church and old square used for a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It also has supermarkets and other shops. There are many restaurants from excellent cooking - Calagrana across the valley from the house - to a wonderful cheap pizzeria. Down the road is a fattoria which produces its own wine and is only to happy for customers to taste first - it has tours and a restaurant attached. Out of season there are many beautiful walks to be enjoyed - at the house is a book of circular walks. Swimming is also possible in lake Trasimeno and the drive over the mountain to Turoa is worth it just for the incredible views of the lake. |

Excursions:there are many beautiful old cities around from Siena to the west, the underrated Perugia with escalators up through the city walls, Assisi, Sansepulcro and Arrezzo with their fresco, Deruta with its ceramics, Gubbio and Cortona up on the hill with its festival.
