A short itinerary, but one that will make you fall even more in love with this land.
From Podere Grotta Antica, head towards Sarteano, an authentic village with a medieval castle overlooking the valley. It is worth taking a stroll through the cobbled streets and perhaps visiting the Etruscan tombs in the Parco Archeologico delle Piscine, evidence of the area's ancient history.
Continue on to Cetona, with its Piazza Garibaldi that resembles an open-air living room. Narrow, flower-filled alleys lead up to the upper village, where you can enjoy an intimate and authentic atmosphere. For nature lovers, Mount Cetona offers spectacular trails and views.
The next stop is San Casciano dei Bagni, famous for its 42 thermal springs. Here you can choose between a relaxing dip in the free outdoor pools surrounded by greenery or a rejuvenating break in the town's elegant thermal baths.
Finally, you arrive in Città della Pieve, an Umbrian jewel of red bricks that light up with magical light at sunset. Among the narrow streets, you will discover romantic views and works by Perugino, master of the Renaissance. And if you stay in the area for dinner, don't miss a stop at Ristorante Da Coppetta, a local institution where tradition meets authentic flavors.
Let yourself be guided by curiosity and the charm of these nearby streets, where every stop becomes a memory to cherish. You don't have to go far to experience the magic: just a few kilometers from Podere Grotta Antica, you will find villages, flavors, and views that will make you feel part of this land. A short trip that feels like home, but remains unforgettable.
