Montone is an enchanting pristine walled 15c village on a hilltop 8 km above Umbertide.
Casa Montone is known to the locals of the village of Montone as La Torre di Guardia. It is a lovely and charming 3-story house that is 500 years old and completely restored. Each of the floors is connected by a corner spiral staircase.
The first floor is the fully equipped kitchen/dining-room, complete with a fireplace, and along with the 2nd floor, has a magnificent view of the Upper Tiber Valley.
Up the stairs is the living-room which also has an outside entrance, along with antique furnishings.
The third floor is a comfortable bedroom with a queen sized bed, and a modern bathroom, both of which share the panoramic view.
The village of Montone is a romantic, picturesque medieval walled Umbrian hill town, a peaceful village of about 900 people. Original stone buildings date to the 15th century. Inside the walled town, the town square includes two bar/cafes,a butcher, a green-grocer, post office and bank. There are two churches, a small museum, a small hotel, and two restaurants. Outside the walls is a grocery store, a trattoria, a gas station, and a small "new" town. Montone is centrally located, near highway E45, about 45 minutes from Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, and Deruta, 2 hours from Florence, and 1&1/2 hours to Siena and Orvieto.
