EXCURSIONS IN |

On a hill surrounded
by olive-groves, near Spoleto and Assisi, is situated the ancient
fortified Custom House, part of a Castle that during the 2nd world
war was destroyed. This tower was one of the customs between Umbria
and Marche region.
It's a place where to spend pleasant holidays from March to September,
though during winter the scenery is particularly charming due to
the peaceful silence of the nature.
|
This outpost of the
castle which dominates the entire valley, a real hamlet, is now
a newly restored construction by use of local materials. In fact
the ceilings are all in wood or flat tiles, the floors are in hand-crafted
terracotta tiles and the doors are antique or decorated.
Everything has preserved the splendour and charm of that time, giving
now the impression of being now in a small medieval hamlet.
|
 |
 |
The Hamlet, belonging
to the same family since that time, is now divided into three 120-130
sq. metres apartments, belonging to the descendants Ugo, Livio and
Flavio, each with a private terrace or exit with views on the valley.
All apartments are similar and with same rental price.
Each apartment has a separate entrance, a fully-equipped kitchen,
a very comfortable living-dining room with TV satellite, and a large
fireplace.
|
Each apartment, even
being very large, sleeps six persons in three double bedrooms, each
with views on the valley, and two bathrooms (one with shower, one
with bath).
The private terrace or exit is furnished and equipped for outdoor
dining "al fresco".
This hamlet is part of the village of Campello sul Clitumno (2400
inhabitants), located near Spoleto(Perugia) in the Umbria region.
|
 |
 |
This town is one of
a number of villages and towns of which the Umbrian countryside
and mountains are scattered, divided in two parts, 2 kms far each
other: High Campello and Low Campello. The hamlet is in the middle,
5-10 mins far walking, from both.
CAMPELLO SUL CLITUNNO is renowned not only for
its beautiful location, but also because its SPAS were already mentioned
in the Roman times by Propertius, Virgilio, and Plinio. Later by
George Byron, Corot, and Carducci. |
Inside this fairy-tale setting there is a charming little
lake formed by those famous waters which were sacred to the Romans
and from which temples were constructed in honour of Clitunno, the
god of the river.
From mid-June to the end of July the Spoleto Festival takes place.
It is a tourist attraction for show business.
The festival is a meeting point for the Italian, American, and European
cultures. Today it is one of the major Italian festivals, famous
worldwide.

Campello is not far
from Assisi, an even more renowned tourist attraction known for
its most famous citizen, St. Francis, proclaimed a saint in 1228,
founder of the Franciscan order and patron Saint of Italy.
There are also other sites to visit such as the Falls Of Marmore,
magnificently situated in a natural scenery of incomparable beauty.
Another tourist attraction is the city of Montefalco. It is very
well known for its full-bodied wine, produced with 100% Sagrantino
grapes. It obtained D.O.C. in 1979 and D.O.C.G in 1992. |
