Agriturismo ANTICO CASALE di Monte
Gualandro,Tuoro Sul Trasimeno (PG) Umbria
Where we are:
The Antico Casale is 100 m far from the border between Umbria
and Tuscany, on Lake Trasimeno, in Tuoro sul Trasimeno, along the SS
75-bis national road leading to Cortona and Arezzo. More precisely,
the cottage lies at km 48,200 of the SS 75-bis road.
How to reach us:
Leave the Motorway at the exit Bettolle - Valdichiana, turn right
towards Perugia; leave the highway at Tuoro sul Trasimeno. After 400
meters, at the crossroads, instead of going straight to the town,
turn left towards Arezzo along the SS 75-bis road. Go ahead on this
road along Lake Trasimeno: at km 46 you will see the Ristoro Punta
Bella on the left. After 2,200 meters, when you find a wrought iron
gate and an avenue of cypresses on the right, you will have reached
the Antico Casale of Monte Gualandro.
Art and Territory:
Umbria has the luck of being strategically positioned among
cities of considerable artistic importance. Within a range of less
than 100 km you can find a large number of beautiful cities, rich in
art and in history, boasting of Etruscan and Roman remains, fine
architectural examples of the Middle Age and the Renaissance,
masterpieces of painting and sculpture.
The territory is unbeatably rich in works of art and in thrilling
landscapes. Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Todi, Cortona, Arezzo,
Montepulciano, Montalcino, the Crete Senesi (Siena clay hills) are
only a few examples… Due to its position, Lake Trasimeno lies under
the administration of Umbria, but from a cultural viewpoint it is
half-Umbrian, half-Tuscan. Suffice it to say that Cortona is less
than 10 km distant, Arezzo less than 35 km, Siena 60 km. Travelling
on the highway for only 30 km you can reach Perugia, a beautiful
city, full of life thanks to its two Universities (one of which
devoted to foreign students), with artistic and musical events going
on all year long.
The scenery is enchanting: olive-groves all around the lake, old
stone olive-presses for the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
DOP, magnificent vineyards that produce the most renowned wines,
small towns and castles perched on the hills. The three isles in the
lake (Maggiore, Minore and Polvese), each with its special charm,
are the ideal destination for unforgettable excursions, as they are
rich in natural parks and bird reserves. Everything here is an
invitation to relax and regain one’s well-being and joy of life.
This is also a paradise for gourmets, with plenty of delicious. Lake
Trasimeno borders on the Chiana valley, well known for its
"chianina" cattle farms; our specialties are Trasimeno French beans,
lake fish cooked on a reed, fresh home-made pasta, Norcia truffles,
capocollo (kind of sausage), and the already mentioned wines from
the “wine road " of Trasimeno and Arezzo hills… |
