Year Round Recreation & Vacation Opportunities
Apart from the artistic riches offered by
nearby hill towns, a variety of year-round recreational opportunities exist for those who
wish to mix culture with outdoor exercise and personal exploration.
- Many of our houses have swimming pools. You can also swim in Lake Trasimeno or use the
community pools in the local towns, for a small daily fee.
- Biking. Top quality mountain and racing bikes are available for rent in Perugia and
Umbertide.
- Guided hiking tours focused on local history, such as the battle site where Hannibal and
his fabled elephants conquered the Romans near lake Trasimeno.
- Unguided hiking on marked and unmarked trails located within easy distance of the
houses.
- Guided or unguided trips to Deruta (famous center for Italian ceramics), Torgiano (wine
museum & wine tasting), Anghiari (textiles and local crafts), Montlacino &
Montepulciano (wine tasting), Pienza (specialty local foods), Perugia (Perugino Chocolate
Factory) and many others.
- Public Tennis courts for moderate hourly fee in nearby towns.
