Located on a hill overlooking the Tiber valley, Montecchio retains the charm of the Middle Ages intact with its narrow streets, small squares, the light tone of the stone and the mighty walls with defense towers.
Vaguely elliptical in shape, the borgo is among the best preserved in the valley. Soft hills of olive trees outline its territory. Dense woods make the landscape vivid and luxuriant in the summer, while autumn paints the Mediterranean scrub orange and red. During your journey to discover this fascinating territory rich in history, you will be accompanied on a guided tour of the Umbro-Etruscan necropolis in Vallone San Lorenzo, one of the largest pre-Roman necropolises discovered so far in Umbria. You will then visit an oil mill and its museum, discovering one of the best products that this area offers through a sensorial tasting of extra virgin olive oil.
A delicious dinner awaits you in a typical restaurant in Montecchio.
