Cultural itineraries and guided tours
The Castello di Borgo Monticelli is in the heart of central Italy, in
Umbria, just 25 minutes by car with the Tuscan border. The hamlet is
therefore ideally placed for sightseeing in Umbria, Tuscany and Upper
Latium. Perugia, Todi and Lake Trasimene are just 15-20 minutes away
by car. Assisi is 30 minutes away, while Siena is just 1 hour 10
minutes drive. Both Rome and Florence can be reached by car in 1 hour
45 minutes. Not to mention the architectural gems of Orvieto, Gubbio,
Cortona and Montepulciano. San Casciano dei Bagni, with its hot water
springs, is only 45 minutes drive. In the direct vicinity of the
hamlet there is the fine fresco by Perugino of St Sebastian, in the
church of Cerqueto (10 minutes), the Umbrian painter's tomb and more
frescoes by him at Fontignano (10 minutes), the Madonna and Child
attributed to Pinturicchio at Pietrafitta (10 minutes), the sanctuary
of Mongiovino (10 minutes), the town of Panicale, with its delicate
frescoes by Masolino da Panicale and Perugino, and its beautiful views
over Lake Trasimene (15 minutes).
