There are many walking paths from Casa Rondini. You can walk to Monte Arale and admire amazing views towards other medieval towns - Monteleone, Citta della Pieve and Parrano. If you like you walk even longer you can carry on to Greppolischieto – little medieval hamlet restored in the late 80s by Anna Fendi well known Italian fashion designer. Is a charming place and the view is fantastic. You can see Lake Trasimeno from there. If you happen to be there in late August and early September you can fill yourself with delicious blackberries. Other lovely walk is to Castel di Fiori. Is a good walk on the sunny days as you go mainly through the forest.

From there you can carry on your walk to Castellieri – enclosure turned to fortification since the bronze age and re-used in the Middle ages where some Roman tombs have also been found.

We spent the first week of May at Casa Rondini. I couldn't have been happier when we arrived, the pictures were great but it's better in person. Franco was right there to meet us and helped out when he realized that I hadn't gotten a car yet. He took me into his house and gave me some sauce and some pasta so we could have lunch.Then took us to the train the next day so I could get a car in Orvietto. The setting is beautiful. Balconies on each side of our apartment. The kitchen has all the things you need. And as they say Location is everything. An easy drive to all our favorite towns. Touring and diner back "home". I would love to go with another couple to share the apartment. All I can say is I loved it. It was everything the site said and more. Book it

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Casa Rondini. We have previously rented many apartments in Italy, and I have to say this was the best experience we have had. The apartments are cozy and comfortable. We had a lovely fireplace and made fires on a few nights. The pool is beautiful and the setting heavenly. But best of all are the host and hostess Franco and Bozena. They could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Two nights of pasta making w/ other guests were great fun. Vegetables from their bountiful organic garden are free and eggs from the chickens available at a minimal price, along w/ their own wine, olive oil, saffron and honey. The incredibly peaceful silence surrounding the house is something to revel in. It is set out in the rolling hills, but a quick and easy ride to the A1 for longer day trips, and close to many other beautiful towns, both in Umbria and Tuscany. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
