GENERAL INFORMATION : You are 3 kilometers from either Montefalco, Foligno or Bevagna and 26 kilometers from Spoleto centre. Foligno is a busy and very beautiful shopping centre. In Montefalco or Bevagna, you will find lots of places that offer tastings. Both very beautiful places. You can walk to all these places through the vineyards. As for Spoleto, in comparison, this is like a visit to the big city, a walled, pedestrian, mediaeval, giant castle, teaming with hundreds of bars, restaurants, museums, art galleries and churches, all jostling for position in a myriad of arched and cobbled lanes, piazzas dotted here and there. Both Montefalco and Bevagna are mini versions of Spoleto. It’s just 1 kilometer to the nearest pizzeria and a few shops. This is the land of plenty ! A member of the family lives next door. They tend the gardens, the land and clean the pool early in the morning before you wake..... or, at a time, you prefer. Otherwise, they are not in evidence, unless you wish for advice or help. They have their own private outside area, which cannot be seen from the villa. You are positioned on top of the prettiest hill and amongst the best wine bars in this area. At 1 km there is a market, a pizzeria and a service station. At 3 km there are the medieval towns of Montefalco and Bevagna with restaurants, wine shops and various other stores, including grocery shops and bakeries. At 1 km there are riding schools. At 3 km there is a tennis court. At 35 km there is a golf course. You can rent bicycles (conventional or electric) via the owners - they will be delivered to your door.
