Villa Capanne is situated in Northern Umbria close to the borders with Le Marche and Tuscany and only 15 minutes drive from the bustling university town of Perugia.
Umbria, know as the ‘Green Heart’ of Italy, is a region rich in natural beauty representing great and ancient civilizations.
Surrounded by the Apennine Mountains, which naturally divide the region’s north and south with the Tiber River. It is a land of great natural beauty with a rich history and tradition. Here, as in few other places, time is unhurried with the hills and valleys coming together in gentle harmony.
It is a region with a landscape haunted by the atmosphere of another age. Cities and towns, themselves architectural achievements contain cathedrals, churches and museums offer a wealth of precious frescoes and works of art.
Throughout the year, somewhere in Umbria, history is revived. Locals, and visitors alike are swept up in the contagious enthusiasm of medieval celebrations and festivals. Local markets are a weekly attraction in most towns and villages.
Umbria’s artistic and cultural calendar is packed full with events, many international, such as:
Gubbio – Running of the Candles (May)
Perugia – Jazz Festival (July)
Assisi – Folk and Religious Festival (August)
Umbria’s major wine centers at Torgiano and Montefalco are within easy reach from Villa Capanne, as are the major wine growing areas in adjacent Tuscany, such as Montalcino, Montepulciano and of course, the Chianti district.
