Location & surroundings

Piegaro, in the province of Perugia (Umbria), is located halfway between Firenze & Rome, about 20km from the main highway A1 connecting these 2 cities. Coming from the North, you take exit Chiusi, when coming from the South, Fabro. The center of Piegaro is only 2km from the house.  It offers a solution to all your basic needs & wants: 2 small grocery stores, a bakery, butcher, a bar and a restaurant. The main grocery stores can be found in Tavernelle di Panicale, less than 10 minutes by car.

Piegaro lies within 15 minutes of 2 charming villages as they can only be found in Italy; Citta Della Pieve and Panicale. These cosy villages are an attraction for tourists because of their unique location as well as their variety of bars & restaurants. More information on these villages can be found in our villa.

Furthermore, Casa Marale is only 33 km away from the more famous city of Perugia. Other well-known cities of Umbria and Tuscany- amongst which Cortona, Orvieto, Chiusi, Cetona, and Montepulciano – are within 50km reach; Assisi, Spello, and Todi within a reach of about 60km. Thanks to the nearby connection with the A1, cities such as Arezzo (80km / 1h) and Siena (99km /1.5h) can also easily be visited. Also interesting is the fact that there is a train station in Chiusi that offers a direct connection to Firenze or Rome (www.trenitalia.com).
