Montefalco...The Umbria's balcony

Address of the tourism Office of Montefalco

Small town of Umbria, Montefalco is perched with 473m and offers to the visitor a splendid sight, dominated by the vineyards and the olive-trees.

To only 28 km of Assise, Montefalco reveals the charms of a quiet and elegant small town where the Middle Ages still dominate by the whole of the buildings and its narrow streets.

To come in Montefalco, it is to plunge in the middle of Umbria, it is to want to discover true and strong landscapes. The autumn and its multitude of colors deer, from which the wines of Sagrantino to the sheets bright reds, typical from this type of vine, the covered with snow winter and mounts, spring with its scents and the summer when the calm reign and where only the rattling of the fountains comes to tease silence.

Some times, in the morning, you will be able to see voluptuous fogs, to wrap the countryside, if not, the come evening, you will see with far, to shine the lights of the town of Assise, such of small stars strewing the mounts.    top of the page

Montefalco it is the face of a small town of mountain, in this area which east can be one of most beautiful of Italy.

The museum St François is obviously the place not to be missed. The museum in itself has great interest, even say no, but the church and the frescos of Benozzo Gozzoli, of the XV and XVIe century are a pure wonder.

Then you should discover the neighborhoods with obviously the wine trail, this famous fruity and cordial Sagrantino. Or even the small towns which form with Montefalco the valley of Umbria. But you can also decide for a gastronomical stay because the area offers a quality of exceptional products where separately the wine, you will be able to taste there an excellent olive oil, good cheese and a pork-butchery of delicious mountain.    top of the page
