self drive proposal with guaranteed departures from February to November

Day 1 - UMBRIA - Arrival at the Villa. Welcome drink and presentation of the program with the itineraries.
Dinner and overnight.
Day 2 - TRASIMENO LAKE - After breakfast you will start your tour from the Villa. You’ll cycle to the beautiful Trasimeno Lake, passing the small medieval towns of Panicale and Paciano. Up and down the soft hills with olive growes and vineyards untill you’ll reach the picturesque town of Castiglione del Lago. Around the lake  you will pass the historic site of Hannibal’s battle against the Romans. Then we suggest you to visit the natural park of the “Oasi della Valle”. In this peaceful place you can take a marvellous walk or a short cruise in a special electric boat: a corner of heaven with many species of birds in the reed thicket. We bring you back from the “Oasi della Valle” to the Villa. Dinner and overnight.
Day 3 - PERUGIA - A short cycle ride to Perugia. Perugia is one of the oldest university towns in Italy. Take a rest at the famous “Corso Vannucci”, a place for shopping and relaxing in one of the pleasant coffee bars. Park your bike and start your visit at the “Rocca Paolina”, the underground medieval town with an Etruscan arch. The gotic city hall and the “Pisano family” fountain in front of the cathedral are only a few of the many important monuments in Perugia. And last but not least we suggest a visit of the medieval garden of S. Peter Abbey, a beautiful place full of plants and symbolism. In the afternoon we take you back to the villa. Dinner and overnight.
Day 4 - DEPARTURE - After breakfast departure for your next destination.
