Activities/Attractions: In the immediate area of
the house, lanes and tracks invite exploration in every direction.
A short walk along a private road takes you into the village of
Macchie, which has a population of maybe 400, boasts a range of
small shops, two bars, a bakery, a post office and so on, catering
admirably to everyday needs. Excellent wine, fruit and vegetable
are also to be had at friendly farms nearby.
The nearest public open-air swimming pool is three miles south at
Tavernelle, or one can swim in the lake. Bicycles can be hired in
Castiglione del Lago at no great cost. The nearby Lamborghini
estate offers golf and horse riding.
The villages set around Lake Trasimeno and tucked into
the surrounding hills are full of interest and well worth seeing.
The lake itself is beautiful; there is a ferry, and there are
interesting islands to visit.
Inexpensive trattorias and good restaurants abound in the area, and
the food generally is just excellent. The main town on the lake,
Castiglione del Lago, offers a colourful weekly market, lakeside
bars and a couple of well-stocked supermarkets.
Further afield but an hour or so away are Citta della Pieve, Chiusi, Deruta, Siena, Spoleto, Todi and Orvieto. Florence and Rome are also reachable in an hour and a half by road, and an hour by train.
