The Villa is set on the top of a hill, overlooking a beautiful view over the lakes of the estate and Monte Subasio. On a clear day, it is possible to see Assisi, the city of San Francesco, which lies on the slopes of Monte Subasio.
It is at 5 minutes by car, 15 minute walk or just 3 minutes away by golf cart from the Antognolla golf resort which has just opened.
The Villa also enjoys a very fine position because of the many important historical monuments like convents, monasteries and abbeys that can be found in the area only a few kilometres away from the property.
It is also possible to visit Perugia, Gubbio, Spello with it’s impressive frescos by Pinturicchio in the Cappella Baglioni, Foligno, Orvieto with its underground necropolis and definitely the most beautiful gothic cathedral in Italy, Corciano, Todi and many others places of historical and architectural interest. |

Inevitably, Assisi is well-worth a visit with its mysterious churches and suggestive atmosphere that you can feel while looking at the majestic frescoes by Giotto in the Basilica of Saint Francis. Other sites of interest in Umbria include the Marmore Waterfall at Terni that is the highest waterfall in Umbria.
Tuscany is closer than one may think with its fascinating and interesting places like Siena (1 hour), Cortona (30 min) and Florence (1,5 hours).
