Preggio, 2.5km/1.5 miles, is a traditional little hill village with an excellent restaurant, caffès and a shop; several other restaurant options are available with a 15-minute drive. Lake Trasimeno offers boating and water sports at Passignano sul Trasimeno, 30 minutes, which is also the ferry terminal for the interesting trip to the lake’s islands. Weekly markets and supermarkets at Umbertide, 20 minutes, or on the lake at Castiglione del Lago, 40 minutes. Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio and Cortona (Tuscany) can all be reached in less than an hour. An excellent railway service connects the nearby Terentola-Cortona station to Siena, Rome and Florence within 1.5 hours. This is excellent walking country: an old Etruscan track passes next to the villa and continues through the forest. Preggio, too, can be reached on foot and there are lovely trails to medieval Castel Rigone, 9km/6 miles, and along the Tiber River near Umbertide.
