Car hire is best done at point of entry and absolutely vital as the properties are completely rural.

Distances
Umbertide, 10km, our local shopping town is friendly and unpretentious, with good supermarkets, banks, family restaurants, cafes and bars, a lively weekly market, and a railway station. Good road and rail connections to many renowned towns: Perugia, the regional capital, 30 mins, Gubbio 35 mins, Assisi 45 mins, Cortona 50 mins, Todi 45 mins, Arezzo 60 mins, Siena 90 mins, Orvieto 2hrs.

Further details
The surrounding pastures and woods around La Lunetta extend beyond to hills and valley clefts, and distant mountains. Good walking and hill climbing (Montacuto, opposite, at 1000m, has the remains of an Etruscan site). Plenty of wildlife - boar, porcupine, deer are occasionally seen at dusk. Wildflowers, wild asparagus and funghi in due season. The track leading to the house from the good valley road is 600m, and well-maintained. Many good local restaurants - Aubrey and Jill are good guides.
Lake Trasimeno (35 mins) has pretty villages, good fish restaurants, lakeside bars and icecream parlours, ferry trips to historic Isola Maggiore (St. Francis), and sunsets to take your breath away. Many other lesser-known sites of great interest - Spello, Spoleto, Carsulae, Deruta, Urbino, San Sepolcro, Monterchi - look them up.
