Beautiful "Villa Sogo" Apartment with Swimming Pool

Description

If reading and solitude are what you crave then you can find a quiet spot overlooking the pool and olive grove. Life in this part of Umbria has not changed much over the centuries and the village bells still ring three times a day to signify the rhythm of country life. Walk up to the piazza for a cappuccino and soak up the local atmosphere. There are stunning views from the village of the famous Tiber River and gorge before it flows into Lago di Corbara (Lake Corbara) which is a 15 mins. drive away. For those who like to be near water, there are two other lakes in the area – Lago di Bolsena and Lago di Trasimeno. Acqualoreto is no more than a one hour drive to many of Umbria’s fabled hilltop towns: Todi (20 mins.), Orvieto (35 mins.), Perugia (45 mins.), Assisi (1 hr), Spoleto (1 hr), Montefalco (45 mins.). In addition, an important archaeological site, the Roman town of Carsulae is only 30 mins. away. There is a site with Etruscan tombs near Montecchio, a short drive from the village and an Etruscan necropolis at the base of the cliffs of Orvieto.

Cultural - There are many beautiful medieval cities and towns to visit in the area, many of them walled and positioned on hilltops. They all boast wonderful medieval architecture and some of the churches, for example, the cathedrals in Orvieto and Assisi are World Heritage Sites. Most cities have museums in historic buildings where art collections and archaeological artefacts are displayed. There are numerous festivals in the region which take place throughout the year with many originating during the Middle Ages. The people of Umbria proudly maintain the historical traditions of their ancestors with period costumes, dancing and food. There is an internationally acclaimed arts festival in Spoleto every summer and the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia (July) often brings in famous musicians and singers for the Festival. Another well-known event in Perugia is the International Chocolate Festival which takes place every October, not to be missed by any serious chocolate-lover. Montefalco hosts a big wine festival in mid/late September, featuring the famed local Sagrantino wine. Not to be forgotten is Aqualoreto's own festa week leading up to Ferragosto (August 15th which is Italy's most celebrated holiday) - this week consists of dinners and music in the piazza. Last but not least is our own olive harvest which takes place in early November. ... read more »hide »
