century. It is a big square villa with ample space and a good kitchen for self catering. The

holidays. The views are good in all directions from a view over Lake Trasimeno to the hills
of Umbria and the eastern Appenines, the famous hill town of Cortona to the western hills
of Tuscany looking towards Montepulciano and Siena. It is ideally located for an Italian

the local station Florence and Rome as well as Orvieto and Arezzo are easy day trips.

set back in the trees. There are lots of shaded places to sit and admire the views over the

relaxing.

splendid cafes in its piazzas, restaurants, shops etc. There are also ferries to the Isola
Maggiore on Lake Trasimeno which is a haven of peace and tranquillity as well as good
restaurants. From the island other ferries go to other parts of the lake including the Umbria
resort town of Passignano.

many wine tasting opportunities.
